Could an average joe...
Without training of any kind, beat up a top MMA fighter? Do any of you think its possible for someone, just an average joe, to have a natural talent in fighting and be able to beat someone like Quinton Jackson or Chuck Liddell?

Iv'e always wondered this.

Is this a serious topic? Are you stupid? Could an average guy with "talent" beat a professional fighter who has trained 15-20+ years in the sport? What the fuck is wrong with you people

Yes of course.

The chances would slim as hell but it could happen. Look at Kimbo....he was untrained a few years ago when he was making the Youtube videos. Could he possibly KO a top guy? Unlikely but yes.

Or a flash KO like Irvin did to Houston....it can happen.
