Ahead of what should be an epic show at UFC 194, UFC president and matchmaker Dana White picked the winners of a few hypothetical matchups that would probably break every pay-per-view record in existence if they were to actually happen. White lauded Texans star J.J. Watt’s athleticism, but picked him to lose in a heavyweight battle against Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski.

“Gronk is one of those guys who’s running down the field and they’ve got the nastiest defensive players in the league — and he’s shaking them off like they’re playing Pop Warner. I’m going to go Gronk by KO.”

White’s other picks? He likes Steph Curry over Kristaps Porzingis in what would be the upset of the century, Bill Belichick over Rex Ryan, and Tom Brady over Cam Newton.

6'2 ft, 218 lbs vs 6'6 ft, 260 lbs

Traditional QB with Zero Athleticism vs Genetic Freak with Elite Athleticism

A Natural Middleweight vs A Natural Heavyweight

Middleweight limit is 160. A 6'4 (Brady is 6'4 not 6'2) Middleweight would have freak reach and length advantage and be skinny as hell. Sugar Ray Robinson was pretty damn tall for a middleweight at 6'0. I get what you're saying just nitpicking.

Brady is NOT 6'4 ft. Cam towers over him. He may be 6'3 ft at best but 6'4 ft????? No way, Jose.

I'm referring to MMA weight classes. Brady is around 200 lbs during the season but he weighs around 188 during the off-season. Brady is a natural Middleweight.

Cam is 6'6 and Brady is 6'4. And there is literally zero possible chance Brady is 188 in the offseason or 200 during the season. He's listed at 225. May not be completely accurate but the numbers that you just pulled out of your ass are ridiculous.

    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
