He'd be interesting, that's for sure.
Usually big slow guys don't do well in MMA. He could be an edge case where sheer physicality could make up for a lot, but the truth is a rear naked choke would take him down as easily as anyone else. |

True but how many can hold their choke hold when he and his 520 pounds fall back on you. |

In this thread we learn who doesn’t understand combat sports. I think it’s safe to say that 9/10 guys in the UFC would murder him with the 1/10 being just one off lucky shots or situations where he got on top and smother tapped someone. Realistically the dude was just big, not skilled, which only gets you so far. It’s like everyone forgets what happened in the early days of mma when there were no weight classes and virtually no rules.

He was at least 7 feet tall and 500 lbs (depending on what part of his career).
You would need a large man just to get him into a rear naked choke. |

I suspect he could really hurt someone trying to choke him, like break the guys arm or dislocate it. |

Hey Opp, didn't we already go through this with Brock Lesnar?

It’s like everyone forgets what happened in the early days of mma when there were no weight classes and virtually no rules. Exactly. A skilled middle weight would piece him up, let alone a heavy weight. Andre was awesome at what he did but he was slow and lived in pain. Brute force doesn't always prevail when you're fighting skill. |

No rules would certainly change the game. If the man got you down and his hands around your throat I think it would lights out quickly.
If he was on top and started laying down punches and hammer fists I would imagine your facial structure would crumble. Your only savior might be that most of the really large MMA guys get winded quickly so I would think he would be no different. To stay alive it would be about chopping at his legs because most people are not going to have the reach to land shots on his face when upright. |

I don't think an MMA fighter would have near as easy time as some of you think. Andre trained as a professional wrestler in Paris before someone saw him and introduced him to TV wrasslin.
Also, his brute strength was legendary, everyone, even the big guys were nervous being in the ring with him. |

All it would take is just for him to grab his apponent. It would be all over then. All that dancing and throwing punches and kicks does you no good when he grabs you or hits you ONCE.

Size does not always equal power. Emmanuel Yarbrough was the largest athlete ever to compete in MMA, and his first bout was more or less David vs. Goliath. Keith Hackney, roughly one third his size, broke his hand trying to hit him, and even though he won it looked like he was trying to beat up a pile of bricks like in Street Fighter II.
I would love to see it, but I wouldn't make any predictions. |

Because he was 50 beers deep and they didn’t know if he would be able to perform, or just crush them. Wrestling is fake. Sorry to break it to some of you….. Goldberg was hated because he allegedly thought it was real, and actually hurt a lot of people….. |

I used to live in a few miles from him in NC in the early 90’s. I saw him riding a three wheeler one time along his fence line by the road, he was huge and made that three wheeler look like a little clown trike.

7 foot tall and over 540 pounds, certainly not the best fighter in the world but he sure was a world-class drinker:
156 beers (16 ounces each) in one day 119 twelve ounce beers in six hours 5 bottles of wine at one dinner A case of wine (12 bottles) in three hours 40 vodka tonics in one night |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 9/10 heavyweights, sure. There are weight classes for a reason… size means a lot. There are weight classes for people who know how to fight in a certain discipline. Wrastlin is very physical but also very staged and designed for show. I acknowledge that there are elements of fighting in there, and the dudes are tough, but it’s show. Grappling aside, a kick to a knee would end this very quickly. |

Andre could kill someone if he got a hold of them. Gracie would not have the strength to make Andre tap from a submission. Do you really think a 170 pound man is going to keep a lock in without Andre overpowering them and breaking the hood? If Andre stood there and let a man chop his legs all day, sure, it may go bad for Andre. But a no rules fight ends with Andre winning 9 out of 10 times if anyone gets up on him to be grabbed. Even with pro wrestling being fake, Andre knew how to man handle a person. He was not the same as the fat guys in the early ufc days |
