Media Ethyn Ewing gets a heroes welcome when he returned to construction work after UFC 322

[Neck&Neck]

Concrete workers are the toughest tradies easy.

Ironworker

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Great performance, he destroyed the hype train.

 

[Siver!]

Good job that kid didn't even think about quitting his day job.

He may have entered the UFC, but you ain't getting shit unless you're top 5!

This slavery must end it's almost 2026 but Dana is still forcing people to fight in a cage! Unfortunately Dana is Trump's friend so nothing will happen to him. I've heard Dana's goons took Ethyn while he was going to meet with PFL owners for a million dollar contract. He was gonna be a milionaire but now he is forced to fight for a chump change

 

[wwkirk]

UFC is an opportunity.
Construction is a career.

 

[Mr. Snrub]

Wasn't Merab a construction worker too? Seems like a solid base for MMA.

 

[JPOMMA]

Construction work might be the meta background. Sonned Wellmaker like a casual hobby. Then punches in for a real day of work.


Proper man right there.

Apparently construction work > pipe fitting as background for MMA

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Man props to him

I use to train my ass off and fight kickboxing matches on Friday nights after work while doing construction, incredibly hard on the body

Its hard to wake up and go in being so damn sore from night before’s training sessions

He’s a proper mad man

 

[volcom5]

Concrete workers are the toughest tradies easy.

Ironworkers
Masonry
Concrete workers/finshers
Carpenters

 

[Kwic]

Construction worker the best base for MMA?

Well tbf

The guy wasnt a UFC fighter, he was called in at the last min to do this fight.

 

[jeskola]

and at the Ducks game getting the Jumbotron treatment with a fight recap and crowd welcome. This dude has swagger too. He is going places.

 

[Tweak896]

Expected the guy to get blasted, everything against him. Nope takes the best shots and dishes it back harder. Love when new fighters come out of nowhere!

 

[europe1]

Instead of announcing guys fighting style Buffer should just list their real job instead.

 

[AMAZINGUFC]

It's always really cool to see these stories of people transforming their lives through fighting, acquiring their possessions through fighting.
