Look Like a Fighter, Speak Like a Gentleman

[jk7707]

Back when Anthony Smith first started making a run in 2018 I saw the guy and thought "Wow he must be a dodo" just based on what he looks like. Guy could play a Neanderthal in a movie if he wanted to.

Little did I know, but he's a well spoken intelligent guy.

SO who are the other fighters that look the part of a MMA fighter but still speak like a gentleman?

 

[FKAri]

I dunno about well spoken but Shane Carwin was a mechanical engineer so probably not a dodo. Whereas he looked like your run of the mill meathead.

Nick Diaz

 

[Deep Triangle]

Marvin Vettori

Basically the opposite, probably deserves a different thread, but Joe Lauzon looks like a quiet nerd that should be fixing computers in his dimly lit basement, but can kick the shit out of 99.99% of the population.

 

[Jonathan Utah]

Dricus Du Plessis looks like both.

Cutelaba is actually an accomplished aerospace engineer and patent attorney.

Ngannou was actually a well and soft spoken guy. Got to watch him on Rogan's podcast and he's like a gentle giant

Chael.
Barnett.
KenFlo is quite intelligent.

That would be an amazing shoop

CM Punk looks like a world beating bad ass, but is actually a savvy businessman that knows how to make money.

Vitali Klischko looks like the real life version of Ivan Drago, a man that was made to punch faces for a living. Became a prominent political figure in Ukraine.

James Thompson. Well spoken, thought he was just a meat head

This guy!? I've never heard him speak outside of PRIDE promos back in the day.

Yep haha. He had some interviews back in the day, this is one of his "newer" ones on London Real, if you have time to kill
