Coach is that you in the 1st IG pic?
I don't follow MMA but what's the awkward part?
Coach stands between them as he once was both of their coach and sensei of peace in the ways of life.
Awkward?
It can be awkward at times when old friends/trainingpartners and two of his students fight eachother. (who is he going to coach?)
Some times these situations can be awkward, especially when two fighters from the same Team have to fight eachother.
Coaches/Teachers taking sides, the fighters themselves not knowing what to talk about when they encounter eachother (good luck in the fight on Saturday! etc) in the shower etc
We all know Kongo is his boy though!
