Any bum off the street can throw a strong right and if it is slipped, he gets his ass handed to him. If you think it requires no skill, catch a guy in a arm bar. Or recover from being slammed full on from 6 feet in the air to a triangle choke in less then a couple seconds. Just because you don't see any guy possessing blinding speed or awesome power, but nobody can step in there with Rampage or Fedor just like no one can run with T.O. And that's what you're implying and you're wrong. I don't know why I bother with it, it's the dumbest thing. I would hope others can take a step back and look at how fucken stupid you look. If "anybody" can do it, why don't you step up and make your millions? Go on. It's easy. Just one punch.
You're judging the whole sport off of one fight. Even Lyle recognizes the skill involved, he just thinks they would be better served to focus a little more on boxing and that the brand isn't exciting to him. As much as I disagree on the last part, that is fine. You won't ever see me SC Lyle because he argues his points to the point to which they are actually relevant to the subject. You're implying that anybody can just make it in the UFC. Maybe 10 years ago the local bar room brawler could, but the degree to which BJJ has been mastered in MMA, that's not possible anymore. That's why you see Butterbean who CAN punch and punch very hard getting his hat handed to him in MMA.
You have to train, it requires a very vast skillset, thus why it is called mixed martial arts. You watched one fight and you now think you know everything that there is to know about the sport. Whatever man.
