@francesthemutes I never thought of UFC fighters! Those guys take a complete beating! I couldnt agree more!

@saintsrulz While I respect F1 drivers more than any other athlete, professional fighters in organizations like the UFC are likely more physically fit than F1 drivers in terms of a "total package".
