It seems overly simple but a lot of guys made "do not play guard for any reason and immediately scramble to stand up before you are even down" part of their game. Chuck and aldo spring to mind. But also, I can think of chuck being stuck in guard and getting smashed against rampage and aldo being unable to scramble against max without getting shitrocked

Tezcatlipoca posted:His defense was actually really good for someone who just got knocked down with punches and kept getting punched. Most dudes would have been finished right but Aldo kept moving. Every other time has been when he's tired and already winning. Yeah its entirely speculative but at the start he was trying to create space and scramble rather than try to eliminate space and reclaim half guard/guard. Could he have avoided those big long shots if he wasn't trying to scramble? Who knows

Also tying Lewis and DJ together: that is why people think they could beat up lighter weight champions. There are all kinds of regular burly gentleman walking around that could have a good shot of beating up the best p4p fighter alive. Size and strength matter a lot, but the disparity has to be quite large to really overcome a skill gap. Unfortunately, dj is like 150 max and 1/2 of the US population weigh 100 pounds more than him

Marching Powder posted:horse poo poo. frank walks around at 155 and regularly beat the poo poo out of guys who weighed 175/180 lbs shredded who also happened to be among the best fighters in the world. Frankie beat a bunch of guys who ended up at 145 and lost twice to a guy whose main skill was big thighs

Fat Twitter Man posted:I walk around at like 210 and once spent a minute unable to get out from under the side control of a (very low level) female pro strawweight. Mighty Mouse would easily handle me in a grappling match and beat me even easier if striking came into play, and I'm willing to bet I'm more fit/capable to fight than 90% of the population. That rules. This now has my wondering if I could escape from beneath an 80 pound non-elite pro woman and I'm going to go against the grain here and say I probably could

Marching Powder posted:and are also among the most skilled mixed martial artists in the world Demian Maia, arguably the greatest MMA grappler of all time and has a claim to top 10 bjj practitioners of all time, couldn't beat Mark Munoz who was approx the same size because mark was too strong to get dragged to the ground. And we can all agree that Mark Munoz had basically no training

I.N.R.I posted:frankly its not that easy to switch from 1 sport to another even if you happen to be good at both. because you will be competing with people whove done the sport since they were children. additionally maybe someone would rather make a career in the sport that pays less but they happen to enjoy more. you die at the end of your life anyway so theres no point doing a job that you hate It really really really depends on the sport. Some sports are relatively easy to transfer into at an elite level and don't require an awful lot of sport specific training and rather require you to be strong, fast, and/or powerful (bobsled from sprinting/football/etc, powerlifting from gymnastics/football/shot put etc). There are positions in football that have lower barrier to entries skill wise and you can get to at or around the elite level if you are just an extravagantly burly boy

Another good example is Clara Hughes, who rode the bike and won Olympic medals. This led to her having the sport specific skill of "giant quads" and she started speed skating and used somehow transfered this intangible skill into winning gold medals in speed skating.

I.N.R.I posted:thats not such a good example because track cycling, time trialling and speed skating are extremely similar in a lot more ways than just requiring bigass quads+glutes, even the tactical nuances of one sport are relevant to the other, theyre raced in very similar ways and the logistics of speed skating mean a lot of their training is done on a bike anyway. theres a long history of athletes switching successfully between the two. not to mention shes a singular talent in a sea of lesser talent and hardly a case study of how easy it is for the average professional athlete to go from 1 world class discipline to another. its not so easily done at the professional level. maybe at the high school level Yeah I only thought of Clara because I was really thinking of bobsled and powerlifting where an enormous part is bigass asses. I'm just saying that there is a lot of sports that are transferable to other sports at near-elite and elite levels. Obviously it's not happening every day and the herschel walkers are stupendous athletes. But there are people who have low level professional success at sports that they haven't done enormous amounts of sport specific training for just because there is a large overlap in required skills and training protocols
