Scott Holzman- Boston Red Sox 

Scott Holzman thinks he is the most athletic man in the UFC. He has said so before and with a background as extensive as his he might be right. Holtzman is currently fighting in the lightweight division of the UFC, arguably the most talented division. He has won three of his last four bouts and is moving up the rankings. This man could be a champion in the UFC if given the time and opportunities but he could have seen a professional career in the majors as well.

Holtzman is in the company of some very fit people. He can often be found doing CrossFit with some of the sports top athletes. He stays in shape playing sports and training for his chosen profession, MMA. However, if the cards were laid out differently, Holtzman could fit in well in the majors.

Currently living in Tennessee, and maybe an Arizona fan according to his social media. Holtzman played college ball at Hiwassee College but he could actually fit in well in Boston. Imagine him as a Boston Red Sox player. His no-nonsense attitude and tough demeanor would make him fit right in. For now, instead of hitting home runs, he’ll have to settle for hitting other fighters in the face.
