Re: B.J. Penn is the best athlete in MMA?

Okay, I am pretty sure that by now everyone on here knows that I am a HUGE BJ fan. But the best athlete in MMA he is not. There are many guys that I would consider better athletes. There are many guys that are not even top fighters that I would consider better "athletes." That article is just stupid

I give him mad props on jumping out of 3 foot deep water and getting probably another 6 inches to land on the ground. that is something that would be seriously hard to do but his retarded flexibility is really helping him out.

I would assume many people could do that, yet it is still pretty cool I guess. I would like to know his actual vert. I bet its not even that impressive.

NOPE MANY PEOPLE CANT DO THAT IN THE WORLD.GO AHEAD AND TRY IT IN A POOL IN 3FT OF WATER LET US KNOW HOW IT WENT, IT IS IMPRESSIVE.

Hvae you ever tried something like this? It is VERY impressive to me. There is no way many people can do this. It's not all about vertical either. It takes pure strength to do that. I am willing to bet his vertical is more impressive than you think.

im sorry but jumping out of a pool and having a 13-5-1 record doesnt make you the best athlete in MMA. maybe top 10 in his prime.

I agree with this statement. But jumping out of the pool like he did is impressive.

I didn't say that everyone can do this but I guarantee a lot of people can do this. I bet their are a ton of NFL/NBA players that could do that. I mean bench pressing 450 lbs is impressive, but a lot of people can do it. I just think its funny when they claim that he is only one of three people in the world who can do that. I guarantee nearly every olympic high jumper/ triple jumper/ long jumper/ 100m sprinter/ powerlifter could do that. And prob most of the top college athletes that compete in those events. Again, very impressive and cool, not some tiny exclusive club though.

They are saying that only 3 people have done it on tape with proof. I'm sure there are a lot of athletes that can do this. And it is impressive for all of them as well. I think the biggest thing is that BJ is 5'9", 155 lbs and he is jumping out of 3ft of water! That is awesome because of the water pressure holding you down.
