Sports Stars who would murder in MMA

Much like Joe Rogan, MMA is the only sport I care about. Thats why I feel its a waste that some of our American Athletes are playing other sports! What if some of America's greatest sports stars from football, basketball, hockey... etc... went into MMA at an early age instead of their respective sports?

Think of a guy like Ron Artest, 6'7, 260 pounds of muscle, lightening quick standing up with tim sylvia.

Or what about Tie Domi, the Former Maple Leaf Slugger with the heart of a Lion Grappling with Randy Coulture.



Does anyone else agree that Sports like Football and Basketball are robbing us of our greatest potential MMA stars?

All I watch is MMA and a little NHL. Domi probably would do good but not against Couture. If he was in WW or something then yeah. Jordan Tootoo from the Nashville Predators would put on some really good fights. As far as Football or anything goes im not sure.

They'd be a hell of a lot poorer if they took the MMA path.

Bouvaisa Saitiev, Kosei Inoue, and a ton of other wrestlers and judokas.
