Lol. Marciano weighed 188 lbs. Fury eats that much for breakfast

Rocky Balboa would take him. I heard he chases and catches chickens, so he's quick enough to fight anyone. Plus he's an American hero.

Agreed

 

[Coach Punk]

Agreed

Yeah, but have you heard about Apollo Creeds kid? Sounds like he’s the real deal. Just needs to get himself a better manager.

Double post. Florida sucks.

As great as Bruce Lee was, he would have paled in comparison to Bruce Leroy.

Way older and smart enough to realize that I don't have to resort to lol and name calling because I'm right.

Ok - I guess your post was blue font intended-I hope so anyway.

Not always true. In the weight classes fighters arrive and weigh in at the agreed weight but often the night of the fight there is noticeable difference in the 2. BJ Penn fought at light weight for a time and was a dominant champ. He was beaten by Frankie Edgar. Frankie walked around at 160 pounds and had to cut very little to make weight. BJ Penn walked around at 175-180.

I’m talking about the original UFC events that Royce Gracie won. Except for Ken Shamrock the competition was not great. Shamrock was also overrated some too.

That's what the early days of the UFC were for seeing which skill set was best. It was true then and still holds true jiu jitsu

I stated at least 30 times that a smaller man who is better can beat a bigger man.

It doesnt make size irrelevant. Sheesh.

I dont need to theorize about it. ive spent my whole life doing it. Grew up around it. Lived it, breathed it. Fought across multiple disciplines, weight classes. You name it. Ive whipped hundreds of men. Also been whipped a few times.

Size is a critical, critical factor in combat.

Sorry, no way did I intend to imply you were wrong. Of course height, weight, strength, eye hand coordination, speed, etc are all important. I was also looking at it more in terms of a street fight instead of an organized fight. I only meant to point out that nothing can take the place of just being plain tough and keeping on coming

 

[Orangeredblooded]

Coke Zero or gtfo.

Water FTW....okay, I’ll just see myself out.

 

[Xtra Orange]

I have a Zack Evans question that may have been discussed already, so if so forgive me. But is there any way or chance that he could go the XFL route? I don’t know the XFL rules exactly but I know one of the players joined the XFL after his freshman or sophomore year at West Virginia I believe. That just seems like something that would happen after all the fuss. Just curious if this has been discussed and would be a legit possibility coming out of high school

The early UFC matches were set up to show the dominance of BJJ, specifically Gracie Jiu Jitsu. None of the guys participating knew how to defeat that style.

Once high level wrestlers started learning BJJ it was a completely different sport. Guys like Matt Hughes and Tito Ortiz changed the game. Even when Chuck Liddell was dominant it was his wrestling ability and knowledge of BJJ defense that made it possible for him to stay on his feet or get up quickly so that he could end it with punches.
