Kurt Hendrix is a confident and athletic guy. He's a 300 pound man that could make like a cheetah, so whatever sport he chose he would have become dominant. It just so happens that football pays the most money. However, if it wasn't for football, he would probably be the UFC heavyweight champion right now. Being a great mixed martial artist requires a lot of learned technique in several disciplines from a young age, so it's not really a sport for 25+ year old newcomers if you want to become a good professional. Kurt's punching and kicking power is the equivalent of an asteroid impact. He was also a great wrestler through high school. The UFC heavyweight weight limit is 265 pounds. Even though Kurt weighs 35 pounds more than that, a lot of it is water weight and some extra mass to improve his momentum going against offensive lineman. There are not many heavyweights that have the athleticism Kurt possesses. And a lot of the heavyweights don't have to lose weight before their fight, many of those guys top out at 240-255 lbs. If a guy like Brock Lesnar could do it, Kurt Hendrix would have been able to as well. (202)
