The Best Athletes To Have On Your Side In A Zombie Outbreak

Darren - October 4, 2023

Usain Bolt

What would happen if you needed to get something somewhere very quickly on foot in a zombie takeover? The majority of us couch potatoes struggle to get to the door to collect a pizza delivery. That’s why Bolt is a magnificent asset for any zombie survival squad.

The Jamaican’s life has been all about running very fast. An eight-time Olympic gold medallist, Bolt is the only sprinter to win Olympic 100m and 200m titles at three consecutive Olympics. If you need someone to race into Walmart for some toilet paper and bullets, Bolt is your man.

Chad Mendes

Perennial UFC featherweight contender Mendes never managed to get his hands on the belt. But he did provide some incredible moments of action against brilliant opponents. ‘Money’ is a great wrestler and has genuine knockout power in his hands. Only recently retired he’d definitely still be a great man for a crisis.

As well as his fighting skills, he also loves hunting. Throughout his career he hunted much of his food, preferring the protein-rich wild game to supermarket-packaged meat. In sum, Mendes is a great fighter and an excellent shot. He’s not a bad chef either – especially if you love barbecue.

Kyle Busch

If you need a driver for a crisis then NASCAR legend Busch is your man. Drivers have to go around the track for hours upon end so he’s got incredible endurance. When you add in the heat of that environment and his ability to win under pressure, then you’ve got a man with unique abilities on your side.

Busch also is a big fan of hunting. NASAR even has a range of hunting gear in his name. ‘The Candy Man’ definitely offers a whole range of skills for an outbreak crisis. The 2015 and 2019 NASCAR Cup Series Champion is a seasoned competitor with no signs of slowing down. He’d be a great getaway driver.

Jon Jones

UFC heavyweight champion Jones is more than a little bit unhinged. He’s a brilliant MMA fighter so you’d definitely want him next to you in a scrap. Meanwhile, he’s got guns too as we saw when police arrested him for negligent use of a firearm. We don’t condone that, but during the end of the world, nobody will care.

The other advantage of having Jones by your side is that he’s not afraid to go too far. This is a man who has a self-confessed drinking problem and has been in an insane amount of scrapes. But like a cockroach, he always bounces back. You’ve got to give him credit for that.

Valentina Shevchenko

It’s obvious that Shevchenko is a spy masquerading as a UFC fighter. First of all, she’s one of the most dominant MMA fighters on the planet, with nobody in the flyweight division able to get near her. However, it’s her extracurricular activities that make her a great person to have by your side.

She loves guns so much that she has a Glock tattoo. Meanwhile, her shooting skills match her fighting prowess and she’s devastating on the range. Then when you add in the fact that she can also fly a plane, you see why this woman is probably more ready for an outbreak than anybody else in the world.

Lebron James

If you want someone streetwise on your side, then nobody is better than James. The Lakers’ hero had a tough upbringing. Raised on the mean streets of Akron, Ohio, he moved from apartment to apartment in seedy neighborhoods with his mother. He knows the meaning of adversity.

Nowadays, he’s a living legend. With his physical gifts, he’d be an asset to any team during the outbreak. Add in his charisma and you’ve got yourself a real leader. LeBron is also one of the richest athletes on the planet with mansions on the east and west coasts. Take your pick. Oh, and he likes guns too.

6. Francis Ngannou

Ngannou’s life is straight out of a movie. The Cameroonian famously worked in a sand quarry from the age of 12. Street gangs tried to get the young giant into crime but he rejected them. Then he moved to Paris where he wanted to be a boxer. But he ended up homeless on the streets.

However, he would go on to become one of the most frightening MMA fighters in the world. With his power, his understanding of what it means to have nothing, and his will to succeed, Ngannou is the perfect athlete to have by your side during an outbreak.

Adam Vinatieri

Once the oldest player in the NFL, Vinatieri is a legend of the game. A four-time Super Bowl winner, he’s one of the best placekickers in league history. Vinatieri holds NFL career records for most points scored, most postseason points scored, most field goals made, and most overtime field goals made.

However, he also owns Record Breaking Ranch, one of the premier whitetail deer hunting destinations in the US. Vinatieri loves the outdoors almost more than he loves football. He’s hunted since he was a boy in South Dakota. He’s shot big game everywhere from Alaska to Africa.

Kyle Walker

On the face of it, Walker doesn’t offer more than any other person on this list. Sure, the Manchester City right-back can run fast. But otherwise, he doesn’t have many transferrable skills for the end of the world. Or so you might think. However, there’s something he can offer.

A wild party. Walker still managed to get two hookers to come to his house even during the pandemic. He got in a lot of trouble but we’re not counting that against him. First of all, he would be incredibly entertaining to have on your team and he’d also be able to help repopulate the world.

Colt McCoy

Veteran quarterback McCoy knows all about the wild. The New York Giants star had a proper Texan upbringing. As a youngster, he played with BB guns before his dad moved him onto the real thing. However, his father made sure that he respected the power of a gun.

Nowadays, McCoy loves to take off to the wilderness for hunting and fishing trips. He also believes that it’s important to only kill an animal if you’re going to eat it. So, in short, he’s well able to clean them after taking them down. Add in his size and athleticism and you’ve got a great teammate for the end of the world.

Valerie Loureda

A Taekwondo master who now wrestles for the WWE after fighting for Bellator, she’s one of the most desirable female athletes in combat sports. She’s stunningly beautiful and she knows it with some insane thirst-traps on her social media.

With Loureda’s combination of beauty, brains, and brawn she’s the ideal teammate in a crisis. As well as being able to destroy everybody in a fight, she also looks good doing it. And in a time of humanitarian need, it’s the little things that make all the difference. We’d all need that positive energy.

Conor McGregor

McGregor is perfect for this type of scenario. First of all, he has a mansion, a whiskey company, and a boat. Those are all excellent for a crisis because you can hide away and drink until it’s all over. He’s also a wild man who you definitely would want on your side instead of somebody else’s.

We know that he can fight because he was a two-weight UFC champion. But he also is just a tad bit unhinged. We’ve seen him punch an old man, throw a dolly at a bus, and spend the night in jail more than once. ‘The Notorious’ has also risen from being on welfare so he wouldn’t moan about having to rough it a bit.
