Meta World Peace. He's known for his killer elbows 
This thread is full of faggots.
On topic, Dwight obviously has no idea what he's talking about but then again the vast majority of internet MMA nerds don't watch real sports so it evens out.
Bruce Lee got him back though
gamer - Hispanics and latinos dominate most of the lower weight calsses in boxing
The heavier wight classes in boxing are dominated mostly by Europeans (HW is dominated by a Russain for example)
And boxing is very popular around the world and has the world to draw from for talent. Much BIGGER talent pools because of all of that
p.s
I think hispanics will start to take over MMA once MMA starts to become popular in Mexico
There are a lot of natural born fighters in Mexico, who LOVE TO FIGHT, but they are all choosing to box from a young age
If only you could get them to start doing MMA from a young age instead, THEN the talent pool will dramtic rise, and we will start to see some LEGITIMATE TALENTS in MMA
Imagine an Oscar De La Hoya who grew up training in MMA instead? JUST damnnn!
Imagine a Cezar Chaves who trained in MMA instead?
Damnnnnn!
Hell imagine if Canelo Alveraz trained MMA instead
Skill wise he would FAR SURPASS anything that Jones' big goofy ass is capable of
Canelo would be a legit star in MMA!
Latinos WILL ALWAYS dominate most of combat sports, but at this point, there IS LITTLE INTETEST IN MMA from latinos or in most latino countries
Think about this, there is very little interest and yet a large portion of great UFC champs still have been Latino...So just imagine what will happen once interest in MMA really starts to pick up with Latinos
I think Mexico should be the next big push. Mexicans LOVE FIGHTING. Lots of real talent will come out of Mexico
.....Thiaguy?

I think Howard is just saying Pekovic is a tough,big, ugly, strong guy. Don't take it too seriously.
Anyone on an NBA starting lineup (even the Wizards and Bobcats) could become a top 10 MMA fighter with 2.5 years of training and at least half could become champion. Jon Jones (who is by no means a "freak" athlete but rather a run of the mill ACTUAL athlete) exposed how pathetic MMA is as far as the talent pool is concerned. Machida, Rampage, Shogun, and Evans were exposed as little more than skilled tuff guys and NOT elite athletes by ANY means.

Jesus Cain take it easy
gamer -renofheavens - The Black Mamba Kobe Bryant. He just has that finishers mentality that could translate well into MMA.
LMAO NOPE

Look at how pathetic that elbow was from Koby
And what is sad is that most big NFL or NBA athletes throw "punches" just like that haha
Koby doesnt even deserve to be called the "black momba"
There is some savage Russian kid in Russia right now who could fight his ass of who deserves that nickname more then Koby does hahaha
Outside of boxing, most Russian combat athletes are Sambo practising BUMS who make fools of themselves in garbage ass M-1 events. LMFAO if Kobe was trained to the extent of Jon Jones he would embarrass the entire sport of MMA (which is sad because Kobe really is kinda soft). Jon Jones used to punch like a girl now he's dropping Machida and outstriking Belfort with very little effort.
Kemba Walker would be a UFC champion with a few years of training.
Bruce Bowen in his prime could probably fight. Dude was tough as hell. Same with Anthony Mason. This is all nonsense because we have no clue of anyone's fight skills, but I bet some of the athletic swing men that got 6'6"+ and could cut to 205 could be trouble if they knew how to fight.
Everyone was doing such a good job of ignoring the troll at first. Shhhhh...if you don't feed him he will go away eventually.

Allen Iverson would have been a killer fighter at featherweight too. He had the intensity and mentality to fight too. Of course he is just about the most athletic NBA player ever and could have probably been tremendous at any sport had he played it professionally.
nba guys are athletic, have great coordination for their size and great agility for their size. So what if a guys who never learned how to throw a punch throws sissy punches? Look at their base like coordination, agility, size and explosiveness. Posting videos of guys who never trained acting like they never trained solves nothing. Heck some mma fighters have been training for years and still can't throw a decent combination.
gamer - ....
I'm simply talking about Allen Iverson. This guy wasn't normal. He was the Associated Press High School player of the year in both basketball and football in his junior year of high school. I don't think anyone else has ever done that before. He played quarterback and defensive back, and the people of Virginia swear he is the greatest football player in the history of the state. And Michael Vick is from the same freaking town.
Iverson is a true freak of nature. He was known to be able to spend all night partying and then go score 40+ and play 42 minutes. At 5'11" and about 160 pounds, Iverson took a serious physical pounding every night., more so than anyone in league history maybe. And he would still lead the league in minutes and play in almost every game every year. He had a crazy intensity and intimidating factor to his game. He had the mentality that he could have fought if he wanted to and there isn't a doubt in my mind about it.
I don't say this about many guys, but Iverson was truly a freak athlete in every sense of the phrase. He was on a different level of speed, quickness, jumping ability, toughness and durability. He is a once in a generation athlete and a rare guy who really could have excelled at any sport he put the effort in to be great at.
I took Scott Coker and Randy Couture to OKC vs Minnesota last Wednesday and we all laughed about the Andre resemblance
We have former basketball and football players in the UFC, stupid. Playing basketball automatically means they aren't tough enough for mma? Look up the list of injuries Iverson played through and do some research about what he put his body through every year.
There are tough athletes in every sport. Tons of the fighters in the UFC come from sports like soccer. It makes zero sense to assume that nobody from another sport could fight. 
Awesome Pek is one of the toughest big men in the game right now gets a lot of rebounds off of bein so strong in the paint. koo Howard was giving him his respect. A fat neck is the 2nd thing I look at after checking out how bad dudes ears when decided to fight or not
Jeff Samardzija was a WR for Notre Dame that was projected to be drafted in the NFL, but instead chose to pitch for the cubs.
Russell Wilson was drafted by the Orioles in 2007 but instead wanted to play football, and is now starting on the Seahawks.
Antonio Gates averaged 20 and 7 for Kent State, and helped them reach the elite 8 his senior year, and is now one of the best TE's in the NFL.

"It makes zero sense to assume that nobody from another sport could fight"
You fuckin moron. You and others have said that NBA players / NFL players would be great fighters just because they are "athletes"
Thats what im arguing against. You are being absurd and are saying things that I never implied.
p.s soccer players WILL TRANSITION A LOT BETTER INTO MMA because of the endurance and insane cardio soccer takes. Plus the fact that in soccer you learn how to use your feet, how to kick, and how to stay cordinated with footwork. It applies a lot to MMA actually!
Football and basketaball requires NOTHING that would help you for MMA. Just maybe size and muscles haha
In fact football would HURT you because you are taught to explode for 10 seconds at a time, then you go on the bench and wait 10 minutes before exploding for another 10 seconds hahaha
That kind of cardio training in football would ruin you in MMA and does not apply to how MMA works
Do you want to grasp for more straws now?
You would have to be entirely ignorant to say you don't need to be coordinated with footwork in basketball or football. As for football, you don't "explode for 10 seconds, then go to the bench." Players have to explode for "10 seconds" multiple times, and do so against people pushing them back. You act like MMA is nonstop punching and wrestling for all 5 minutes of the each round. Half the time fighters are sizing each other up.
Bet you Rousey would armbar him within 15 seconds.
