What are some examples of fighter not having a traditional fighter mindset?

[MikeyB]

I think my brain hurts.

On what planet have any successful mma fighters been meatheads?

Colby Covington and Chael Sonnen are acting dummy. The true meathead guys get picked off way before a title shot, usually on the regional circuit, much less achieve any level of sucess.

Tank Abbot was kind of a meathead, but he only ever won individual fights and the guy could wrestle and had real fundamentals.

Go train and get clue

Fighter Kevin Lee is not quite rah rah imo.

uriah hall, the guy is so nice he actually is visibly upset when he ko's or hurts people.

Not sure if Jiri fits that list. That dude goes to war and has close to zero regard for his own health

You must of not watch his rizin debut.

Majority of MMA fighters aren't really street dudes or guys that fought a lot on the streets. There are more guys like a Khabib or Mighty Mouse in MMA then a Warmachine type believe it or not

Ryan Hall. seriously good insights and very well-spoken thinker.



Edit:

you beat me to it, sherbro. Hall is amazing.

nobody asked but I'd rather shoot myself in the head then listen to a Lex Freidman podcast .

Frank Mir says he's a victim of his own intelligence so him.

I really liked when he dropped that line

I’m talking about mindset out of the ring though, he doesn’t like a typical rah rah type fighter but I may be wrong

rah-rah
/ˈrɑːrɑː/

INFORMAL•NORTH AMERICAN
adjective

1. marked by great or uncritical enthusiasm or excitement.

So you want fighters that are unenthusiastic?

What I took from this is that Ryan Hall loves to flip ppl off.
