Frank speaks with words of wisdom that only true fighters understand. I have fought in mma and without a doubt was motivated by my own personal demons. However, I must point out that in the process of training I crossed paths with many other fighters who were more interested in social status, bragging rights, and egotistical fantasies. These people were not fighters at heart, but simply posers, and they continue to pollute the gene pool of our beloved sport.

I FIGHT for my right to PaRtY!!!

I'm not a fighter but when I was little I helplessly saw ppl I cared about get beat up, and told myself that when I grow up I'm going to learn how to stop them. Learning martial arts relieves that fear I had as a kid of being helpless.

Because the other guy is asking for it.

1. to prove to myself i can do it.
2. chicks dig it.
3. it satisfies a primal urge.
4. i love the adrenaline rush of competition.

pain fades and chicks dig scars

man, i must be really screwed up if you listen to frank, i'm doing all this for free as an amateur.
i agree with what he said about fighters being a different breed, but we're not all alike either. i'm not making what i think is the "worst bet in the world" when i go out there and get the crap beat out of me, i think it's the greatest thing on earth. my body is the one thing i have the most control over, and i think that fighting isn't a way to work out my issues, it's not a way to prove myself... it's hard to explain, but in my experience, there's a family kind of feeling among fighters. we might not all get along, we might not all agree with each other, but we all belong to a brotherhood, because there are only so many people that are willing to push their bodies and do what we do. anybody that's trained before has felt it at one point, even if you're the worst guy out there, you can feel it, that you just belong there. pro, amateur, doesn't matter whether you get paid $50,000 a fight or do it for free, it's being a fighter that's important. everything else is just semantics.

I fight for my bread. C'mon Ken let's run this!!
