Watch: 6-Foot-9 Raiders Star Learns to Throw Vicious Kicks From UFC Legend Stephen Thompson; Fans React

The NFL and NBA feature some athletes that have huge physiques. Being 6 feet and a few inches is almost an eligibility for certain sports. Despite the size, they aren’t the best fighters as many fans may assume. Their training develops a different set of skills and a different group of muscles required for their specific sport, while fighters develop into mean machines with skills and physiques molded to their fighting style.

Sometimes, these athletes do cross paths and what comes out is often interesting. NFL team Las Vegas Raiders, Kolton Miller, recently met Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson at the UFC performance institute.

Fans saw the offensive tackle learning some kicking techniques with Thompson. While ‘Wonderboy’ was left amazed by Miller‘s huge frame, He did try to teach him the best practices for landing a powerful kick. Fans have reacted with different views on the exciting meeting between the two stars from different sports.
