He doesn't know much about most sports outside of MMA though. Even boxing he's pretty ignorant about, which is saying something because it's not a million miles away from MMA.

Agree to an extent. As someone who boxed/coached boxing for almost 20 years and did a little bit of Judo in between, I would say Joe is really only interested in MMA/BJJ. He's fairly ignorant about other combat sports.

@inter7322 The basics of any popular sport are generally easy. What's hard is excelling at those sports, and competing against people who also excel at them. Like boxing has just about some of the simplest, concise rules in popular sport. Damned hard to do it well though.

@cebukid70 I would disagree about boxing, he regularly gets rules wrong, cannot remember fighters names, doesn't understand strategy etc.... He knows more about boxing than he does about other sports I guess, but he's still very weak on the subject.

@ramozj6997 Every sport has it's body types. Guys like Messi are exceptions in Football/Soccer. Most forwards are 6'0" plus. In fact most players are. The average height in the EPL is 6'0", which although not NBA size, is still taller than the average man in the UK. Average male tennis players at Wimbledon are now 6'3". Don't even start me on the size of modern rugby players. They have dimensions far in excess of most average men. The only popular sports I can think off where height is less of an issue is something like boxing or MMA as the weight classes tend to attract people of similar height ranges e.g. most middleweights in boxing are between 5'10" and 6'1".

@karensbadapples8337 I agree. Bird was one of the GOAT, but MJ was something else. 6-0 in NBA finals. The man transformed the NBA from a popular American sports competition in to a global sporting phenomenon. I think Bird motivated MJ in the sense he wanted to overtake him to become "the man" in the NBA. But it's a bit far fetched to assume Jordan was only a success because Bird had some sort of blue print Jordan could learn from. That's a discredit to Jordan.
