Former NFL linebacker James Anderson could clean out the UFC heavyweight division

James Anderson... I've been actually trying to convince to fight. ... This dude could fight. He really could. He is so athletic and violent, and he understands it. And he's not a big name, but he would clean out the heavyweight division.

Anderson never fought professionally in the UFC, so his dominance is theoretical.

Brock Lesnar is the scariest human on Earth

The only other takeaway I had [from UFC 200] was is Brock Lesnar, I think, is the number one scariest human on Earth. The fact that he came back after five years and just demolished Mark Hunt... Brock Lesnar, I think, is my number one scariest man on Earth.

Subjective opinion on intimidation.

Muhammad Ali would never have died if he were a female soccer player

Medically they gave it the name Parkinson's... but actually it was not something, I believe that if he was not a fighter, he would never have died because of that. [If he were a woman soccer player] it would have been safer... and he would have had fewer blows to the head.

While boxing likely contributed to Ali's condition, stating he would 'never have died' if he weren't a fighter is a hypothetical claim.

Kimbo Slice meant as much to our generation as Muhammad Ali meant to our parents' generation

It's a hot take, but it's kind of the correct take. Kimbo Slice meant a lot, too, to us. Because that early YouTube time, when he – do you remember watching those videos of Kimbo just bashing people's skulls in and saying, what the hell is going on? He was the baddest guy I've ever seen.

The impact of internet culture vs. mainstream cultural icons is subjective but culturally significant for millennial fans.

I could knock out Floyd Mayweather in a punch-for-punch fight

Punch for punch. I get three months to train my neck... Punch for punch. I could knock out Floyd Mayweather. People forget Floyd Mayweather is like 140 pounds, and I'm like 230, baby... As long as I can train my neck, that's the only stipulation I get.

While untested, it's widely considered delusional by sports fans, though the physics of a 100lb weight difference in a 'no-defense' punch contest are debated.

Jon Jones' claim of marijuana addiction is a PR move because it's not a real addiction

Jon Bones Jones today came out and said like, yeah, I used to smoke a lot of weed and now I don't anymore. And so now I'm back on the straight and narrow. ... That's just not really an addiction. They're not going to be mad at you. Like that's just... just not really an addiction.

The medical and societal definition of addiction is subjective and variable.

Dada 5000 is a martyr because he died fighting for what he believed in

I love him. He's a martyr. I love him. He's a martyr. He died fighting for what he believed in.

Whether someone is a martyr is a matter of personal opinion, though Dada 5000 did technically survive the encounter.

Beating death in the ring is the same as beating Jesus

You mean to tell me the nigga lost the Kimbo Slice but beat Jesus? ... If you beat death, that's beating Jesus. Like, Jesus died for our sins, right? So, technically, anybody else that dies, it's because Jesus died, too. So, like, I say that puts you right above Jesus.

Theologically and factually absurd, but delivered as a bold sports take.

Mickey Ward would beat Butterbean in a prime-versus-prime fight

In their prime? I'm going to have to go with Mickey Ward. ... Mitchell Rose knocked Butterbean's ass out. Mitchell Rose got more losses than you got fingers and toes. His only win was when he knocked out Butterbean... I done changed diapers tougher than Butterbean.

This is a hypothetical matchup between two real fighters that can never be settled in reality.
