UFC lightweight contender ‘King’ Bobby Green believes he would easily handle 6’9″ NBA icon LeBron James in a hypothetical fight.
Over the last month, the UFC has seemingly experienced an unexpected and unsolicited crossover with NBA players and athletes who think their sheer size and stature would be enough to contend with some of the world’s best mixed martial artists. Recently, NBA journeyman James Johnson, who claims to have an undefeated MMA record, said that with a year of training, he could finish Jon Jones in a potential scrap.
Fight fans were also treated to some footage of UFC featherweight champ Alexander Volkanovski failing to submit Denver Nuggets star Jamal Murray in 60 seconds or less.
