Why the hell would anyone fuck with that dude? unless you're another pro mma guy lol.
Because maybe the MMA douche was being a jackass. Maybe not. Hell, I don't know. But if he
was, than any real man would happily confront him. Getting beaten in a fight isn't a big deal next to the wounding of your masculinity and pride in NOT standing against some asshole.
There are A LOT of MMA douches at my gym as there is an MMA gym right across the street (Toronto's a big MMA town). Several weeks back one of the tattooed warriors was acting like a dick and I told him so. Could I "take him" in a fight? Who knows? But I wasn't gonna just let his behaviour go.
Grow some balls.
