Is combat sport success mental or genetic?

[sigmasss]

Is like success in the UFC or any other combat sport like boxing dependent on mentality or genetics? Ofc there is a training aspect to it but lets say both train equally as hard.

Would the guy with elite genetics with good technique and fight iq however zero self belief win or the guy with somewhat average athletism with god tier self belief very high fight iq like cannot believe he can lose like mayweather or tyson fury mentality basically delusionmaxxed to the limit?

The mind is a powerful thing. If he has no self belief, he will lose. Even to someone who he should beat on paper. Let's say that you think you can't take a punch. Well the moment you get tapped, you're going to just fold, even if you could otherwise take the punch.

In the case you gave, I would go with the 2nd guy who believes he can't lose.

true you need a certain mindset otherwise you will shit your pants if you get banged. However you put two guys who believe they cant lose the guy who has superior iq and genetics would win. pretty water but yh
