    To be fair, in 2009 when I was 14 I thought MMA was gay too

      we all did. Tbh actual good MMA striking is a fairly new development. Most MMA fighters still don't know to properly jab.

      @@KeyserSoze23 there are great strikers in mma and terrible strikers. the fighters that come from wrestling or bjj are usually terrible at striking and then you can all so get high level strikers like isreal adesanya who has had over 100 pro kickboxing fights before he was even in the ufc

      Dare you to go to a random boxer and say it to his face. When you wake up, let me know how it went. I've done boxing since I was 4yo, and already by age 12 started to study other things such as kickboxing and wrestling, because a real fighter understands that a real fight has no rules. Kind of like life; life has no rules other than what you set to yourself. Ergo, please go open your mouth to a boxer. 😃✌️

    I been watching Ariel since he was a nobody. I never watch because I think he knows about fighting, because he knows very little. It's more like watching it for fun to kill time or listen while training etc.

      So you watch Ariel since his beginning but never watch him at the same time, and even if you never watch him you know that he knows very little. Innnnnteresting statement, please do more. Its time you stop training your muscle and train your brain a little.
