Professional job. Can’t fight, can’t deal with black eyes and broken teeth. Plus, in 20 years as an adult, I have never needed to fight and I don’t think it’s worth the investment when I could be earning money that means I don’t have to mix amongst people who would want to fight me.
I think the need to do MMA comes from insecurity for most guys. But hey, I am obsessed with making money and career, that’s my own way of dealing with insecurity.
Personally im sceptical because at 12 I got battered by a 19 YO mma fighter who wanted to try out his moves on a moving target. I was literally doing nothing to attract it, and was in hospital for 2 days.
since then I’ve always seen It as a red flag. I have no desire to hurt people, and I think a lot of guys who do it do so because they want to hurt people and dominate them.
I’ve found in the real world it’s very much about who gets the first blow in. It’s more about courage than technique.
I am sure chicks dig it, but it just doesn’t interest me. Plus I’m a massive framed guy so I’ve never felt intimidated much, perhaps that’s why as an adult I’ve never felt the need. I’m big enough to make would be assailants think twice, as although I can’t really fight, I would still be hard work.
I’m sure a tiny skilled fighter would have me on toast, but weight I’ve found is very important . I fought smaller guys as a teen and the punches were like air and they just couldn’t get me on the ground as I just simply walk with them on my back and then rag doll them lol
