Opinions on best MMA fight promoter

[basketballfan22]

Your comparisons are all over the place.

Just because its been around longer or more people play football or basketball or they make more money or the fact you said why would people want to be a fighter when you can make more money with less risk with other sports all that don't mean crap.

Under your thought process that would mean Boxers are more athletic then a MMA Fighter which is laughable at best.

I have played Football Basketball and train HARD in MMA while no where near at professional level but non the less played n trained. MMA was by far the toughest.
Not to mention Larry Fitzgerald said himself in his opinion he feels he couldn't complete most of MMA training. Thats the opinion of a great NFL player. But you choose to disregard that in favor of your own opinion.

At the end of the day these are just our opinions and you know what they say about opinions.

That is how debates work. The strongest argument is one that utilizes many aspects and points to support its claim, not just one. There are a multitude of reasons why the athletes in the NFL and NBA are superior to those in the UFC or other MMA organizations (the ones I gave). My opinion is one based on facts (nothing I said was untrue), and logic then dictates the conclusion one would come to. The fact that Larry Fitzgerald said no one in the NFL can fully train in MMA is based on the fact that there is more cardio. NO ONE in MMA would be able to go to the NFL and compete. They are too slow, small, weak, and are inferior at a variety of other athletic attributes. There are currently former NFL players that made it too the UFC though. Larry could say the same thing about NFL players' not being able to train for the Tour de France. Most of the athletes would literally die if they tried preparing for that. Does that mean cyclists are better athletes too? No.

I too have trained Brazilian jiu-jitsu and muay Thai for three years, and I also played football and basketball growing up. You and I are not good indicators of what takes more athleticism since we weren't nearly good enough to play for a big-time university, let alone the NFL. The quality of the players in the NFL is beyond anything you or I can imagine. Just because you and I played football means nothing when talking about the NFL.

Name the attributes that qualify as athletic. I will attempt to do so right now: speed, acceleration, strength, endurance, flexibility, balance, agility, vertical leap, and hand-eye coordination. Athletes in the NFL and NBA possess a higher level of those attributes than MMA fighters, both on average and at the most elite level. I would put any money that the athletes from the NBA and NFL would succeed far more in other sports (including MMA) than the athletes from MMA. David Batista is an MMA fighter for God's sake. Herschel Walker STILL competes in MMA, and he is 51! He is very athletic, but do you actually believe Walker would be able to complete in the NFL? He would die.
