Deontay Wilder didnt start boxing until he was like 22, and 1 and a half year later he was in the olympics. JFL
deontay has insane power genetics, which carried him quickly and to where he is now tbh
he trained a bit of tkd as a kid but just a bit (he had like yellow belt or some shit) and few years of literally nothing, i think he was only dancing.
what?the fuck that guy actually exists
huh?
gsp was bullied
Who is that?
yes, looks have nothing to do with bullying, i see ugly bullies all the time.
Most of the guys get bullied are ugly ngl
not always, mnost of them are either small or aspie. Often both. If you fight back you will do good
not exactly, some people are great technicly but not as good athleats. Being athleatic doesnt mean you will be good fighter and vice versa.

you see
everyone in the ufc has some sort of athleticism. you can make up for it with brains and experience and all that stuff but being at least a little athletic is crucial.
some fighters like jones are not that geneticly athletic. Hes good now becouse of being pro athlete but in hs he was skinny af. He has reach to compansate and insane fight iq. Guys like tony ferguson doesnt are not strong but they have insane endurance. bass rutten had asthma as a kid. Fighting is not throwing a all or sometihng. Many things does matter, phyiscal, mental, technical etc
jon jones is much more athletic than the average person. sure, if it weren't for his reach or his fighting iq he wouldn't be where he is now but the same thing goes for if he wasn't as athletic as he is. tony ferguson is athletic too. trust me, athleticism correlates a ton with endurance. khabib is also athletic, to list another example. that's why he's so strong and explosive at takedowns and on the ground.
jon is athleatic becouse hes pro athleat with best training. What i mean is basicly being born with freak of nature genetics for generating power. Jon is not super strong compared to other pro lhw. Hes a bit above average but nothing crazy. Tony is not super strong.
Jones is actually very physically strong and imposing, he cuts from 240 lbs to make lhw.
that's not the athleticism that i'm talking about. i'm talking about "natural" athleticism, which adds onto the "trained" athleticism, or the other way around, whatever. even if the average person went through as much training as as the average ufc fighter has, the average person would still have a much worse endurance, hit way less hard and move way less quick.
holy shit overeem looks so small thereJones is actually very physically strong and imposing, he cuts from 240 lbs to make lhw.
Here he is next to heavyweights Arlovski and Overeem, makes them look small in comparison
compared to jones maybe yes, but guys like wonderboy or condit? No. They have DEAD AVERAGE PHYSICAL GENETICS. Fighting tallent is bascily how fast you can remember moves, fight iq etc, Physicality is important but not the most
i don't know the other guy but wonder boy is definitely somewhat athletic. he might not show it often, i'm not sure but he definitely has some athleticism. this isn't just about the ufc or fighting sports in general, in basically every kind of sport athleticism rules (to some extent). no matter if it's mma, football, the other football or even something like badmington or table tennis, believe it or not. this just isn't that obvious partially because only the really, really athletic ones stand out which draws us to the assumption that the others are somewhat close to average or something like that. the thing is, the spectrum of "natural" athleticism is huge, in other words, the disparity between the athleticism of a rather athletic person and that of a rather unathletic person is massive; an unathletic mma fighter (relatively) thats good enough to be in the ufc is still very athletic when you take the whole population into consideration, even without the training. do you understand what i'm saying? apologize for the wall of text
