Proposal: Ryan Reaves to UFC

[LD29]

He never was special or anything near good. The only thing he is good at is fighting. He should not waste his career. Instead, he should bury his skates and do what he does best. I would cheer for him.

I would gladly trade Reaves for Brock Lesnar as an Avs fan.

Take a look at how Laraque did against man half his size in GSP and you quickly realize it would be a short career before he is eating through a tube.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Nah he’s fine where is now. And he was very effective when he was here in St. Louis

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

Lol. in before legendary lock in the FA and trade rumors thread.

TRADE HIM TO THE UFC!

but for real, being able to throw haymakers well against guys on ice, skates, and in pads, doesnt mean he wouldnt get his clock cleaned in 30 seconds that is a full MMA trained fighter for years and most of their adult life

He would get merked so badly. Look at James Toney when he tried and he was a multi-time World Champion boxer.

Career high NINE GOALS as a golden misfit last year.

That's solid production from a 4th liner any way you look at it. Blues fans also liked what he brought, and it took a big offer to pry him from St Louis.

Maybe the WWE would be a better fit in that case

A fall out thread from the Kane fiasco eh? Just read Reaves amusing comments on it this morning:

Unless he trained properly for MMA, Reaves would get destroyed once he hits the ground and ends up on his back.

I believe they call that getting Kimbo Slice'd!

They wrestled. Laraque would KO GSP if punching was allowed lol

Evander Kane, is that you?

Sure he would.

No he wouldn't

 

[Devilsfan118]

Oooh quality thread.

 

[MXD]

They wrestled. Laraque would KO GSP if punching was allowed lol

... If he could touch him, and that's some pretty big caveat.

 

[CupInSIX]

I think he should ground n pound fake tough guy Dillon. Why do the Sharks always look for the smallest player on the ice?

 

[canuckslover10]

Lol op must be a sharks fan

 

[Davegarri]

Wouldn't even have to move either. Can stay right in Vegas

[sparxx87]

I’d pay to see him fight Greg Hardy.

 

[3074326]

He would get absolutely destroyed and it wouldn't be close. Why? Because he's trained his whole life as a hockey player and UFC fighters have trained their whole lives to fight.

 

[Groo]

Fake tough guy wouldn't last a round in an MMA fight.
Some no nothing semi-pro wrestling league is more like it

 

[Michael Farkas]

He's at least an average fourth liner in terms of his on-ice play...he's not like one of those 90's goons that can't play...

I am a fan of any post suggesting anybody would get "merked". That must took me back to like 1989.
