UFC Lightweight fighter vs NFL Lineman, who do you take in that fight?

[Mystic Mac Miller]

Is the skill gap enough to where it compensates for size?

We've already seen this thanks to Roger Huerta

Chances are the lineman gets KO'd if he tries to stand or get's a limb snapped/consciousness detached if it hits the ground. On a side note, I wonder how a UFC HW would get on in the NFL?

 

[Bobby Boulders]

I mean, idk about a lineman, but LW Huerta knocked that UT linebacker cold with little effort... "But he wasn't NFL caliber," you say? Huerta wasn't really UFC caliber either.

What does being a lineman have to do with fighting? I'll easily take a 180-190 lb lightweight who actually knows how to strike/wrestle/submit someone over someone who's big and athletic. It's just a matter of time.

They would make some field goals as kickers or be a decent Dlineman.

The Lightweight fighter would win, he would just have throw lock kicks, stick and move,?the Lineman would gas after 30 seconds & that's a wrapped.

NFL Linebacker easy. B level athletes in the UFC would get KO'd by the spear tackle.

 

[Fight Professor]

Lineman gets submitted. A boxing match can be competitive is the lineman gets some coaching.

Happened a LOOOOONG time ago with Gil Castillo and some NFL player. Can't remember the NFL player, but it was just a private exhibition and the NFL player was spouting off that he didn't think UFC fighters were that tough. DW asked Gil Castillo to school him a bit and he did. Submitted him like a dozen times.

No competition 99 % of the time for the MMA fighter.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Hmm a professional fighter or a non fighter in a fight?

Interesting question.

A ufc HW wouldn’t make a d1 college team in most cases

Man you make some bad threads

Goddammit. It just had to be the GOAT, La Parka, getting speared in that GIF. Well, there goes my fucking day...

Roger Huerta already answered you.

Saying that about Huerta just shows how little your opinion is worth. Does Huerta have multiple UFC wins? Yea, he was UFC caliber, asswipe.

 

[swizztony]

Lmaoo even some fringe non top 70 lw like lando vannata would destroy any untrained lineman

I'm sorry that that offended you to the point of name calling. Agree to disagree, but your words speak more of you than mine do of me. Have a good day, bud

Huerta was/is a bad dude.

How in the fuck can you say a guy who was 6-2 in the UFC wasn't UFC caliber?
