Heart Vs. Skills

[CAMPBELL]

Using Forrest as an example of heart and Vitor as an example of skills, what is more important for success in professional fighting?

Forrest has done pretty well for himself without what many would call superior skills. Vitor has done well relying on pure skill whle getting criticized for not showing enough heart.

What trait is more important in mma?

Skills, because Matsui isn't the best fighter in the world.

Heart is more important in any sport (well, maybe not golf or chess I guess)

Heart will drive you to train more and harder.

u have to have some skills and ability for heart to become a factor; forrest is a big strong, agile guy, with alot of durability.. if he did not have those other factors his heart would not come into question.

vitor has always been a front runner; but that was not exposed until he an opp who had the phys and tech to standup to his initial flurry and then put him in a bad position did we see him for what he is..

heart only comes into play when one guy has a skillset or physical ability to not be bowled over AND BRING HEART AND TOUGHNESS INTO PLAY...

All depends. a fighter with heart can learn skill. tis very hard to learn heart.

U Can't Cruise By On Heart..but U Can Cruise By On Superior Physical Skill/an Ability...

Heart is essential. Skills can be aquired.
