Tyron Smith as an MMA Fighter

[xwalker]

How long would Tyron have to train to become a champion MMA fighter?

I was watching some MMA the other day and I kept thinking that someday some NFL type freak athletes would get into this sport and dominate.

Maybe that's where Matt Johnson went

With those arms, he'd be hell to fight. I'd say you have to get inside that reach and grapple with him except he's probably more dangerous when he gets his hands on you, lol.

You'd have to be a pretty special athlete and really big to have much of a chance... assuming Smith can take a punch.

I doubt he'd have the stamina to get through a round; he'd need intensive training to handle those 5-minute rounds. NFL linemen are fine tuned for 6-7 seconds of work, followed by about 60 seconds of rest.

 

[Sarge]

He'd probably get destroyed.

Herschel Walker tried it.

DeMarco Murray trains in it but probably won't compete till he retires and also Brandon Carr if I'm not mistaken...

Probably won't then either, being that's when all the pain starts, especially in professional athletes. It all catches up one way or another. So much for the so called Golden Years.

If he is locked up with someone on the ground, they're likely done.

They would have to try kicking him in the head to have a chance.

He'd be in a class of his own. He'd have no one to fight.

He'd probably get destroyed.

People have an unrealistic comcept of MMA fighters.

Somebody here once said, Ronda Rousey could kick
Ndamukong Suh's arse.

What if Butterbean was our LG. We wouldn't have to rely on Cooper and Green. Problem solved.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

Lots of things work against him. He has no wrestling or kickboxing experience.

Wasn't that dude in the game Outlast?

No training.

Strategy = catch and no release

Lol

 

[Hardline]

He would probably do as good as Conner McGregor would playing left tackle.

There are weight classes. He'd be fighting world class grapplers and strikers. Miocic would destroy him.

Matt Mitrione has been a better MMA fighter than NFL player.
