vinnys025 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I dont know why "athletes" think they can try to fight in MMA. Someday these guys will realize that most of these fighters have been doing this since childhood. Its not something someone in their 30's can just decide to do and be successful at. It takes years of training to become good at this sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someday these guys will realize that most of these fighters have been doing this since childhood. Its not something someone in their 30's can just decide to do and be successful at. It takes years of training to become good at this sport. That's true, but OTOH, these guys have been working out on their bodies non-stop for 20 or so years and are probably at or near the top of their game physically. Also, I'm sure some have been training martial arts, judo or boxing since childhood as well. It's not so farfetched that they'll do well and the sport gets a "name" and a few people that wouldn't have watched otherwise check it out.
