people respond based exclusively on the title of the thread all the time on Sherdog.Did people in this thread even read what he said? Y'all keep bitching about his lack of interest in improving his TDD, despite the fact that he flat out stated that he plans to work on his lack of TDD ....
What am I missing here?
I think you're conflating being intelligent with being a smart fighter. I think he's smart. I don't think he's a great fighter. Like you said, he doesn't seem that interested in improving, but he's doing his thing. Whether or not we think it's smart/he has a high fight IQ, he seems like a pretty smart and funny guy out of the ring.
Kevin is dumb, he's not a smart fighter, he doesn't have a champion mentality.
he likes to fight, but does not think about improving himself to be the best.
I'll also add that I personally know some really smart guys that are *not* smart fighters, and some really genuinely stupid human beings that have a really high fight-IQ. One size does not fit all.
Hey, nice call. I never liked Chael, and always thought he fought stupid....but he's also clearly smart and funny.
it reminds me of Chael one of the smartest guys in real life, but a fight IQ 0.
