I was a gym rat for awhile in/after college and knew a lot of martial artists at the gym. The Muay Thai and krav maga guys were really chill but every MMA bro was a piece of shit. I got the STRONG impression that their goal was to cause pain to, not just subdue, their opponent. They’d laugh and brag about breaking someone’s nose.
Tangent: I got into fitness through a classmate who was a big parkour guy and EVERY parkour guy I met was awsome. I only got into lifting when he dropped out to be on Survivor: China
Good way to put it!
