It prevents you from getting the best angles for movement an thus drasticly lowers the amount of force you can produce. MMA training is really good for increasing strenght in the core and flexibility in hips an ankles thus improving the athletic skill.

The big difference between a guy in the NFL and the UFL for example is not Xs an Os, its not handplacement when they make a block or how they do their reads but pure athletic ability.

HA HA HA HA!! Wow... Really? So now Michael Vick is a better QB than Drew Brees or Peyton Manning or Tom Brady? He's got TONS of pure athletic ability over them... He must be better...

Stop. The more you type stuff, the deeper you dig yourself in. It is just mind-boggling that you would made statements like that.

One thing you need to understand about "MMA training": I have no idea what you did before when you said you did "some UFC type training", but most of that training is nothing special, unless you are talking about a martial art itself. A lot of that stuff is stuff many athletes do in the gym.

Being a better athlete helps you when you play sports, no question, but surely training in one sport doesn't make you better at playing another sport as compared to someone who practices that other sport. I can get footwork and fluent hips doing football drills because guess what? there are football drills that do just that. Flexibility, you get that by stretching, and that is not particular to any sport.. stiff ankles? I don't know about that.. back in the day when I played football, I taped my ankles, so they were pretty stiff.. I take it that all those NFL players who tape their ankles, their ankles are as stiff as mine were, probably even more, since they have people doing the taping for them.
