Anyone here confident enough in declaring to have a fighting chance in the UFC? What's your background?

Question

Which opponent would you like to try?

Answer 1

It would be an Honor to fight Randy Couture.  I had a chance to roll with him when he came to our BJJ school (2003) and he showed me how little I really knew about MMA back then.  Background: 7 years Muy Thai, 6 years BJJ.

Answer 2

I would most likely get killed in the UFC, but if i had to fight against anyone it would be Houston Alexander.

He seems to have a weak chin, bad head movement, bad footwork and a limited ground game - and due to how aggressive he is, probably quite poor cardio.

So, even though I would probably get hurt quite bad in the UFC, that is who I would choose to fight.

Answer 3

Street fighter all my life.

I would love to get my *** handed to me by GSP.. then i could say i had a chance to fight him. xD

Answer 4

along these same lines:  I have a sixteen year old son that has been training for about 2 years in Taekwondo, BJJ and wrestles for me at the high school level.  His goal to to compete MMA at 18 and is well on the way.   He trains hard 5 or 6 days a week and is relentless is his routine and wanting to learn more.  I sit through hours upon hours of UFC recorded fights and break down moves and situations with him.   Give him a few years   he will pretty darn tough!

Answer 5

A fighting chance?  If I was thirty years younger I would fight any of them in my weight class and I think I would not embarrass myself.  I have a strong background in wrestling and ju-jitsu and am even better at stand-up.  The other thing that I would add to this is that you don't get better by fighting people that you can beat easily.  Also sometimes the tougher opponents bring out the best in a fighter if he trains properly and is ready to fight.  Sometimes age or lack of youth becomes a big factor in all this and its pretty difficult to turn back the clock.  I think the multi-dimensional fighters would be the most difficult to have a decent shot at beating and the most difficult to prepare for.
