When I was a young manlet [as opposed to an older manlet], Peter McGough was one of the first bodybuilding reporters/journalists I read, in issues of FLEX magazine from bodybuilding's Ironage [Starting mid- to late November 2000, which means the first FLEX magazines that I bought at Canada's now-defunct Ironage retailer Zellers were the ones dated early 2001, as they always came out a month or two earlier than the printed date].
In one issue, Peter McGough said fans had accused Nasser El Sonbaty of looking dopey on stage, and assumed he was suffering from liver failure as a result [jaundice eyes, maybe]. To which Nasser responded that he gets his heart, lungs, kidneys, and liver checked three or four times a year. That was my early introduction to the toxicity of competitive bodybuilding [why would a pro bodybuilder check his vital organs so often if that level of bodybuilding was healthy?].
McGough then wrote something close to "As for calling El Sonbaty "dopey", the only thing I call a man who competes at 287-lb is "Sir"."
Hence starting a long timeframe of me assuming pro bodybuilders could beat up manlet MMA fighters.
