I respect anyone who steps in the ring... But that's' a huge generalization.
I'm not bashing... but I respect him slightly less than someone like, let's say Dillon, or Clint.. or all of the other 13 guys
He acted like a dick trying to get the easy match-ups 1st, (He's cut .. I'll fight THAT dude) .. then lost when he finally got an "easy guy". Gifted the wild card and totally over did it when he won....Then acted like a tearful father missing his kids. Then like a spoiled brat when they actually gave him a difficult fight in the quarters...
Then laughed about losing like it made him "one of the guys". Clint would've made a far better fight. I hope they put Clint in with Bubba in the Finale.
I' see him as more than likely go the same way as someone like Jamie Yager/Casey Uscola .. losing in the small shows after blowing a good chance on the big stage.
I'm not a keyboard warrior and have no doubt he could kick my ass.. I however, do not fight for a living and train with the LHW Champion of the world.
Guy's a joke.
