There are drunk guys in bars that can punch out an NFL player or an NBA guy . Beating someone up doesn't make you a great athlete. That being said I have no doubt there many professional athletes from legitimate sports that could make a successful transition into MMA. On the other hand there is no way anybody is going to come out of the UFC and be able to compete in the NFL, MBA , NHL , NBA .................... Soccer, Tennis . No matter who trains them or how long they practice.
Not making it in football doesn't make Lesnar less of an athlete it's the fact that he couldn't make in any professional sport at this point that makes him less of an athlete.
Where could a 30 year old guy who hadn't been doing anything competitive for years compete as a professional. Answer NO WHERE ! Only in the bootleg world of MMA is this guy a champion .
