Media Chase Hooper equates being an MMA fighter to being a stripper

[Söze Aldo]

They both use their bodies to entertain a primarily male audience. Seems fair.

 

[Siver!]

Makes sense.

Maybe not for that exact reason, but still... makes sense.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

That’s some C-level Joe Rogan comedy there.

What kind of shitty strip club has Chase Hooper been to?

Also only Dennis Hallman is like a stripper

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Fighting mma is a shit-job

Nobody should be talking their kids into it

He’s a good father, just like his father, Ben Askren

We're fine with guys selling their bodies to a mining company or the US military but everyone freaks out if you sell your body on OF.

At least with OF you don't get black lung, blown up, or die of cancer from burn pit exposure.

 

[RockyLockridge]

I've always said the same thing, Fighters are like sex workers in the sense where they provide "entertainment" to men via appealing to their primal urges

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

More like a prostitute tbh. Start out thinking you'll love making money to do what you already enjoy doing, only to get burned out and end up having to continue against your will as it's your only viable option to earn a living

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Making money by selling their bodies. Lots of pro wrestlers have said the same.

 

[europe1]

You don't see strippers moonlighting other jobs to support their stripping career.

Same. They are all very much in the selling flesh business.

Dana is also very definitely a pimp.

 

[Last Falconry]

I'm sure it's roughly as degrading at times

 

[USA!USA!]

lol I mean he's got a point.. not a direct correlation, but I get it!

 

[Kwic]

How about being a whor... Ekmh... A model on the Internet? Seems like a trend that's becoming more accepted today, like a norm, at least in the US. That's nuts to me but it is what it is.

 

[Dr Fong]

He stole Chris Leben's line, who also said it a lot better.


'Fighters are like strippers: they’re not paying their way through college. What I mean by that is that there’s something in the past that’s driven them to do what they’re doing. And I feel that’s the same thing with fighters. Every fighter, even when they walk in the gym and they’ll seem like the most clean-cut good guy, you’re gonna find the skeletons down in there somewhere. There’s something that makes you go, “I’m gonna risk getting my face smashed in front of all of my friends and family and throw possible future careers out the window. I’m gonna dedicate everything to doing this, and who knows what the ramifications are gonna be for me 10 years down the road.” To take that risk, there’s definitely some stuff going on inside that guy.'

 

[Daniel Henry]

Chase been to some shitty strip clubs. I usually make those bitchs get naked for my lap dance

 

[TriangleMonkey]

MMA is a young man’s game as stripping is a young gal’s game


When you hang on too long until 40 and still ain’t set for life is when its a sad story and a waste of time in hind-sight

 

[Fergelmince]

Mma is lower on the totem pole. Strippers aren't slaves to random drug tests, and I hear the Spearmint Rino offers really good health insurance and a 401K plan.

 

[Neck&Neck]

At least with strippers, the fans throw money at them while they work

 

[Slapjit]

Strippers mek bandz tho fam lot of flexibility too #PowerSlap more like strippin' MMA like low tuh mid prostitute

Get pounded by dudes daily boss tek most di money sum get long term mental damage too sad ting broski finna pray fi dem
