Michael jai white on Jon Jones kick

White is a decent to good amateur martial artist, especially by the standards of actors, but the idea pro fighters invite him over to actually learn from him, is as silly as believing they meet-up with Steven Segal to learn from him too.

Fighters do it because they are celebrities (especially among fight fans) and it brings eyeballs.

He's not that big of star. he has valuable theoretical skills.

The funny thing about MJW is that he dismisses Steven Seagal as trying to legitimatize himself by teaching fighters, when Michael does the exact same thing,

Well from Michael jai white you can actually learn something to make yourself better as a fighter. Only fools think that a pro fighter can only learn things from other fighters.

Many good coaches never fought. And alot of great fighters turned out to be horrible bad at coaching even they tried.

The best coaches tend to be former fighters that neither sucked or did great.

Most likely because they got some relevant experience, and they feel that they know what to do better, compared their own career.

He is in crazy good shape for his age, he looks like the freshest 55 year old, wait is he that old. From karate you can learn hook and spining kicks and axe kicks and side kicks. Which all work. He just talks too big. Like you can't not have con
mpeted or run a mma gym with pro fighters and talk like you're ufc level, not just that but basically putting you on a level as Jones. Dude you're not even an ammy competitor.
 


Uriah credits MJW for helping him perfect the kick that ended up upsetting Mousasi.

People just confuse confidence for arrogance. They want to belittle him, make him pretend to be smaller than he actually is.

To me that just comes off as insecurity, people have fragile egos and don't like someone who's confident in their ability.

Not everyone needs to be a silent, humble, quiet martial artist who just sits in the corner.
