Quite naturally, with all this business about the NFL lockout frustrating football fans, it is time to wildly speculate about which NFL players should sign some UFC contracts.

If 49-year-old Herschel Walker can compete in professional MMA, so can current NFL players.

Matt Mitrione and Brendan Schaub are living proof that top football players can successfully transition into elite MMA.

As everyone knows, NFL players are top of the food chain natural athletes. With some proper training, practically any NFL player could find some success in the cage.

Think about how some NFL skills would translate into mixed martial arts.

Can you imagine the arm-velocity of an NFL quarterback?

The will power, resolve and tenacity of a league leading rusher?

The instincts and reaction time of a Pro Bowl safety?

The power of a linebacker?

It’s practically mutant league cage-fighting. Hugh Jackman is already about to release a movie about robot boxing, so let’s do this thing.

These are the top 20 NFL players who should sign with the UFC.

Warning: Some of these men are realistic suggestions if they have the commitment.  However, this article is done in fun.  Please do not go pulling a Johnnie Morton

We have been spoiled with three UFC events in June but on the Fourth of July weekend, the UFC is pulling out all the stops and giving us the first truly stacked card of the summer.

Bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz will defend his UFC belt for the first time when he takes on the only man to ever defeat him, MMA superstar Urijah Faber.

That fight is worth a PPV by itself but the whole card is stacked with superstars and especially compelling matchups.

I am not just talking about the main card either. Every fight is awesome, all the way down to the first preliminary bout.

If you will not be able to see many fireworks on the Fourth of July, do not worry—UFC 132 on July 2nd is going to have all the fireworks you could possibly handle.

Is it just me, or as talented as Kenny Florian is, does he not look like a fighter to you sometimes?

The dude is a lanky 35-year-old with big ears. 

Something about him makes me think that he might be better suited running our national and global economies into the ground as a career financial “expert.”

Here are K Flo and nine other fighters who look like they could be bankers.

UFC 131 Results: Is Dave Herman Too Small to Compete in the UFC HW Division?

The short answer is “no”, but the long answer is “probably”.

The reason why the short answer is “no” is because we are not talking about championship-level fights. 

At a muscular 6’5” and 233 pounds, Herman has enough size to be successful against the majority of professional heavyweights…. but, he will hit a ceiling at some point.

Just as Fedor Emelianenko found out, larger and more skilled athletes are entering the sport every year.

By the time Herman is able to generate significant momentum in the UFC, there will be somebody bigger than him and ready to derail him.

The reason why my long answer is not a definitive “yes”, and just a “probably” is that at 26 years old, we do not know how much more Herman might physically grow.

As he is already muscular, there might not be much more functional weight that Herman could realistically put on, but that is also something that is mostly conjecture.

Dave Herman is certainly one to follow over time as a relevant piece to the UFC heavyweight title picture, but at just 233 pounds, do not expect him to threaten the truly elite fighters of the division any time soon.
