regardless of any talk, it’s great to see stuff like this.
Fan friendly fighters, post your pics - I’m thinking MMAHAWK @MMAHAWK and @quadfather will have a few to add

These are a few that treated me like a friend for no reason at all and seem like really good people.

Ooh hot Rose!

Love your work bro
Funny story
So that was the morning of the McGregor/Mendes Fight. We were talking about who we thought would win. I thought that Mendes wresting would be to much for Mac and it would be a long night for him. Rose decides to show pat and I how she thought the fight would end for Mac. It was then she climbed on the couch behind us and directly in front of me assumed the most blatant face down ass up position. Explaining while in the position How she thought it would go down. It was a bit awkward but a great view lol.

Tim Lajcik.

For about a six month period, I met with that guy once per week for boxing/wrestling lessons. The lessons were cool, but what I liked the most was getting to watch somebody up close who was always trying to be a better person. He was somewhat of a mentor to me, even though I doubt he knew it.

There's a lot of them, but the most legit good guy that I've met has to be Justin Wren. He is just the most genuinely nice and thoughtful person I've ever dealt with in this game. Others are nice and genuine too, but Justin is on a whole 'notha level.

Randy Couture is pretty nice.
Jacare is nice, shouts everyone food and drinks but he's hella arrogant.
Nogeira brothers are literally some of the nicest guys on the fukn planet. (unfortunately never met Anderson but I believe he would be up there too)
Hatsu Hioki immensely respectable, but he's a Jap so kinda expected. (oooh racism)
Thread was started with a Mark Hunt pic. Met him briefly, he was ok, not that friendly, but it was at a grappling event where there was no alcohol, I've heard stories from a couple of peeps that met him about him being a scabby bastard and making any fans that wanna chat go buy him beers. I was shocked but they didn't seem to mind and came away saying he's cool.

What about former fighters?

Leigh @Leigh is a helluva nice guy.....it hurts me to say that......and would do anything to help you imo

Andre winner from TUF and who fought in the UFC couldn’t be a nicer guy. I joined the same school he trained at and he would treat everyone in a humble and friendly way......let me roll with him and he kind of gave me a difficult time on the ground but he was always a good dude

Most fighters I've met were cool. A couple were dicks. Mark Coleman was shockingly nice, spent ages talking to me without knowing me. Jens is also super nice.

Surprisingly, given his past, Ryan Ford was very friendly and pleasant. A mutual friend introduced us and we had a brief chat.

I've always felt he's been unfairly villain-ized, especially considering some of the shit the MMA world has forgiven fighters for.
As a guy with a checkered past myself, I know people grow and change, and I truly believe he has.

Ben Saunders came up and trained with us for about a week when the hurricane came through Florida this summer. Great guy. Trained with EVERYONE. White belts, heavyweights, hobbyists, competitors, he treated everyone like you were the whole reason he came to Decatur.

Sorry to derail, but did my wife give him my shirt?
