Armchair fighters rule!!! Who can you beat?

Quote:

I'd like to fight Tim Silvia. To me, he's just a big slob. His size has gotten him where he is now. Doesn't ever look different. They talk about how tough his training is, well, I don't see it. He is always looking out of shape and gasses easily.

chris leben. Spends more time crying than training, never looks comfy on the ground. Hits like a girl. Dont like him so i could find the aggression to fight him easily, and i would have a forty pound weight advantage. Sleepy time for leben

---

Thankyou Cordfor actually answering my question.I think you could beat Leben too with the right training.

For everyone else. "It's what you've done." Yes,but being a single father with a fulltime job + overtime and lots of other responsibilities I doub I could compete. Given the opportunit to train full time I would be a good competetitor.

Now, please answer. Sheesh, everyone is so serious.

Matt,

Like I said Sylvia is good because of his size. Otherwise, he's a big,sloppy , and has butter abs.



I think a lot of people could beat that Meeks guy from TUF,lol.

Thats right man. Everyone can talk but can they back it up. Either way i think this post is really pointless. When it comes to fighting anybody can loose to anyone, it just takes one mistake to capitalize on so the question about who can u beat is pointless. Well it also depends on the how u define beating/winning?..

with the retired Pro's taking it easy, it's apparent that the average guy has nowhere near the ability of a Pro and even less understanding of what the Pro's can actually do.

I'm sorry fella's but you Joe's are what you are. Joe's, who will never even understand what it takes to compete at the highest levels.

Now now, lets not make an ASSumptions. I have trained, and trained with many high level athletes (national/international) from various disciplines, and have never felt completely out of my depth, and if I do say so myself, i feel that being shortlisted for my National under 21's rugby squad, before a heartbreaking (and nearly neck breaking) injury put a stop to fullfilling my potential, means that I might qualify as an 'above average' Joe.

Besides, this is a fun thread, its not supposed to be taken seriously.

Go Go Armchair Warriors!!

The problem is that without at least some kind of evidence to go on its entirely theoretical. Anyone at all could open their mouth and say "I could do this" or "I could do that" if only they had the time to train but its kind of empty, isn't it?

---

Oi!! THIS IS FOR FUN!!! ITS NOT A SERIOUS THREAD!!!!

Look, this is where Brian is coming from- we all (who watch MMA at least) sit in judgement of the fights we see. We, as spectators, all size up the competitors performances, we have opinions regarding their strengths and weaknesses as we see them.
Now what Brian has done is come up with thread FOR FUN , that allows you to apply that critical skill to yourselves, and having analysed your own fighting strengths and weaknesses, come up with an MMA star who you feel would be an oponent that would best play into your hands.
If you think its lame, then dont post. if you think that it might be a fun exercise, or a light hearted way of exploring your self critique, then lets hear ya

Again, I chose Leben, because he makes hard work of journeyman oposition, lacks mental focus, has a very open guard, cant punch worth a sh1t, and is about 40 lbs lighter than me.
From this you can see how much I respect UFC ahletes in general, because any with genuine professional level skill would take me out nice and quick.

I didn't mean to ruin the fun by looking at the situation realistically.

You are, go ahead and join EFRAIN.

Cord,

I'm glad you get it!!

Realistically, Sylvia would pound my head into the next millenium. Realistically, I am a JOE. So what?

Now, back to my fun thread.

Matt Serra sucks. He got lucky shot even to fight GSP, he's nowhere near on his level. With time and training, I could kick MS's a$$!!

p.s. I think kimo needs therapy.

St. Pierre and Silva are great fighters. I had the opportunity to train at a seminar with GSP and he makes it look so effortless and I expect the same from Silva. On my best day I couldn't beat either on their worst day.

---

True! Couture and GSP are my two all time favorites. They would crush me. I would pay well just for a training day with either of them.

LOL Ok some people are getting fiesty in here lol. oK I'll join... Well, i'll take on all the fighters. lol But seriously i'm sure we all agree here that there was one guy in the last tuff series that many of us here can more than likely beat, i forgot his name but he was obvoiusly not a fighter. I dont know how he got in there. I think he actually became the vegans best buddy after a while. And from UFC guys well i like to fight good fighters so it would be interesting to fight st pierre and or the spider enderson silvia but thats just a thought lol

ALL AT ONCE!?!?

Quote:

Ahh c'mon cord..just run around the ring to tire out Sapp and Silvia..Then you just have Gonzaga, Lesnar amd Arlovski left..

---

Not being funny, but Sapp is the one I would be least worried about- he hates being hit- you can see the fear in his eyes, and he nearly turns his back if someone unleashes a fast combo. Then when Cro-cop hit him, he cried!!!
Now, being kicked by cro-cop- i could understand a few boo hoo's. But it was a freakin Jab that dropped him, and it wasn't a 'sweet spot' KO, it was a pain reaction, 'waaah I want my mommy!!!!' give up embarassment. That is not the reaction of a professional fighter.

The others i could get around easy- I would trade tips on ab workouts for an easy fight against Sylvia, and would distract Arlovski by asking him beard grooming advice, and then 'bam' pick up John McCarthy and use him like a baseball bat to KO Andre

Man, WTF gave you the idea I was a heavyweight? I'm like 170lbs/78kg!

Since you are putting me against all the wrong opponents, I will be forced to use all the wrong techniques:

Me vs Gonzaga - I TKO him with a vicious 1-2 to the groin

Me vs Cro Cop - Toe kick to the eye FTW

Me vs Bob Sapp - I pimp-slap Bob on the back of the neck, hard as I can. He drops like a stone, crying.

Me vs Tim Silva/Kimo - When Kimo goes to kill me, I curl up in the fetal position, screaming that Tim made me do it, saying that Tim told me it was not worth his time to fight Kimo himself.
Tim and Kimo annihilate each other.

On my way out of the ring, I kick Big John McCarthy in the sack. Why? Because he was there. Then I kick Dana White in his sack. Why? So Randy Couture will carry me on his shoulders out of the ring.

Me FTW.

Well, luckily I am a heavy weight @ 6'2", 360lbs. :-)

Hmm, Cro Cop, I would do sicne I haven't been impressed with him lately and it seems every since that knocked out head kick he hasn't been the same.

Oh yeah, I would definitely take on Bisping. I love him as a fighter and person, but I think I could get a knock out as long as he don't take me do the ground. But I am not sure what is groudn game is like.

Rick Franklin, Nah, don't want that fight....

And mos def I would take on Sapp....

Ok, let's invite the pro's to the next East Coast Get together.

I've seen many in the mma ring getting criticized here.

If you could commit the time to training who would you fight and beat?

From looking at the tuf series I believe I would be a good competitor. I think I have the tenacity it takes to train like a wildman. I think I could beat some of those guys with the training I have now even.

I'd like to fight Tim Silvia. To me, he's just a big slob. His size has gotten him where he is now. Doesn't ever look different. They talk about how tough his training is, well, I don't see it. He is always looking out of shape and gasses easily.

Let me hear how wrong I am.
