Mma is a very fast growing sport but you’ve got to be careful of some of these “fans”. Personally Im a very competitive person I always have to win, be better than you, or be above you period. Now this is both a good thing and a bad thing its good because it drives me to be better, its bad because Im constantly comparing myself to people around me.
Something that I’ve noticed about a lot of guys is they wanna be known as the tough guy to. I can’t tell you how many guys that say they are “fighters” and they train at these tough gyms. Which usually the “tough” gyms are the places I train and the fighters there are my friends. Somehow these guys will talk all day to people about there fighting and hard training. Then I try to talk to them about training and its pretty obvious that they have never stepped foot into a fight gym. Much less any of the gyms I train at. I don’t like to tell people that I fight until I get to know them or someone else I know tells them. My english class and part of my business class are the only people outside of my close friends and high school who know Im an MMA fighter. I don’t always like the attention and you immediately become a target for the guy in the class who thinks he’s the most macho. So if somebody is telling you how hard there training is, they could just be trying to be the “macho guy in the room”.
