although MMA is much more of a sport then Golf is :rofl...you can get by with brute strength/speed/stamina...there are very few really skilled guys in the UFC.... only one that is just unbelievably skilled....and probably the best fighter since Bruce

Gymnastics takes way more skill.....open wheel racing....crazy skill...unlike those that just go left....although that is not easy ether....

well its green and sticky icky... :D


but Anderson Silva of course :aok

I wasn't impressed with Jones...but I cant say I have seen him fight a bunch of times....(I think only once)

don't get me wrong there are lots of good guys and some very good (Urijah Faber comes to mind)...but only one at Anderson's level....and that's him :D

Both good ones, but Anderson Silva is imo the better one. I liked Feodor untill he started loosing, Feodor fits in the brute strenght/speed/stamina category, but he still started to loose eventually.

Those were the ones that are currently at the top and are monsters in the ring....Jones's has atheltic genes (Brother plays on the Ravens) but still very talented.

I knew who Ink was talking about, just putting another name in there that was good.

Which sport do you think requires the most 'skill' to be proficient? I'm not talking about athleticism.

I'd have to say Baseball, Golf, and Ice Hockey would be at the top.

What kind of skill are we talking about?

Mental skill, forward planning? Possibly chess is the winner (or understanding the female brain, haha)
Reflexes, quick and steady hands/feet? Artistic gymnastics, table tennis, etc
Pure physical power? Athletics.
All together? I would say, soccer.
