@dietermauer Hey genius. Do you have any idea how much more demanding it is to be an NFL runningback as compared to an MMA fighter? Seriously. He just ran a 4.38 40 yard dash. That would have been the 4th fastest time at the NFL combine. He's 48!!! You're ignorant is what you are. If MMA guys were better athletes they would be in the NFL making millions.

@shelbyville101 but the thing is that the nfl/nba has been around far longer, so money is not a fair comparison. I think nfl and nba have the better natural athletes by far, but i think mma develops better athletes. NFL athletes dont have to have great endurance. I could go on about this forever, but ehh

[shelbyville101]

@mike77514 Totally agree' simple equation, you get what you pay for. The higher the average pro salary for the sport, the higher the quality of athlete. The best ATHLETES in the world are the top NBA and NFL players

@sclaysdharma I know the game originated from rugby, but in what was is it "wussified" ? Let me guess, because they added the gear right? Maybe you should check history on exactly why they wear it before you call it "wussified", players still to this day are being paralyzed playing the sport.

@91gt306 If you talking about my football comment, then you need to check the history and origin of the game.

@sclaysdharma Comments like that simply just show your ignorance.

@bentcopperpipe Endurance is is important in rugby, league, afl, soccer, etc. Not in AF, which is why you will get guys 6'4-6'7 290-350lbs who are strong,agile and very quick for their size, they are no less of an athlete then those players in the other sports I mentioned, just a different kind of athlete. Since they are as explsoive as they are they hit harder aswell, hence they need the gear. Theres a reason the average NFL career in only 4 years.

[91gt306]

@bentcopperpipe No. League players are not better athletes. You are judging AF players as athletes by the nature of the game they play. AF players are far more explosive then league players because the way the game is played allows them to be. Rugby and League players have more tackles because they dont need to deal with blockers, in rugby a guy who runs 100m in 10.5 is considered blazin fast, that would be average in college and NFL.

@CharlesStJames I love this guy!!!!! I am 50 and people who look at my videos can't believe it. This guy is an inspiration.

@mike77514 i think that they are both very good athletes whether nfl mma or any sport to be able to perform at a high level at that age is very unordinary and abnormal but basically is being an mma fighter is more demanding than an nfl running back? probably not, the sport of mma is a little bit more violent on account that they are wearing only gloves and shorts and getting a beating without pads or a helmet don't get me wrong I love football a lot more than mma but yeah
