“What you do in a fight gym is learn how to be brave. You're learning how to punch and kick in a proper way, of course, but above all else, a fighter is someone who's got courage, who's dead game in a fight. Most guys don't come into the world that way. You learn to be brave through that process of getting your fear and timidity beaten out of you night after night after night.” WorldWayNightGuyFightingCoursesGamesProcessBraveFighterKicksGymBeatenBe BraveTimidity Author:Jonathan Gottschall
“In boxing, where most of the guys are from lower-class backgrounds and have darker skin than most of the fans, one might fear that the athletes are being exploited. But that narrative doesn't hold up very well in the world of MMA, where 99 percent of fighters are amateurs who will never earn a dime. They aren't seeking fame and fortune. For the most part, these guys are fighting because they want to and because it gives them an opportunity to strive for something big in their lives. It gives them a chance to become their best selves.” WorldWantGivingWellsSelfBigsMightGuyFightingOpportunityChanceClassFansFamePercentSkinsFortuneStriveAthleteSeekingBackgroundsFighterNarrativeBoxingMmaDimesBest SelfLower Class Author:Jonathan Gottschall

Because it doesn't happen any more.” RealHappensTogetherUsedGuyFightingActorsFunCasesMinutesFighterCombinationGreat Actors Author:Dolph Lundgren
