I mean - consider for a second that we currently have the most comprehensive martial arts practice in all of history, with the largest humans, best sports science, and all that.

Any top UFC fighter from the past decade could probably beat the fuck out of anyone ever before the year 1980. Isn't that wild? Dudes who have (probably) watched Rick and Morty could beat the piss out of Alexander The Great or whoever the fuck. And it wouldn't even be close.

Biting and eye gouging is banned of course, but even if it wasn't, Brock Lesnar isn't letting you even get close to that. I mean, speaking of Brock, even big pro wrestlers - medieval blokes would shit their pants on sight if they saw Scott Steiner going freakmode off the roids. Perc Angle. Big Show - like what - he's a literal giant.

But what about Mark Zuckerberg? He's a big guy. He does his MMA. I think give him a month to train and send him back in time. Hate to hand it to him, but he would crush.

    Yeah, exactly. They'd beat the fuck out of Alexander. Case arrested.

    And as for UFC blokes - certainly, they aren't meant for survival. They're meant for beating guys up in the ring. And that's what they'd do against anyone pre 1980. I don't give a fuck if they die from eating a bad egg afterwards. They won their fight already.

      Assuming they were teleported into the ring, sure.

      don't give a fuck if they die from eating a bad egg afterwards.

      It's more whether they die beforehand that tilts the playing field.
