My friend had two nephews that were identical twins. Only their parents could tell them apart.
On fell from a loft onto a thin glass bowl and it cut him from mouth to jaw. They don’t have a hard time telling them apart anymore

Mark Hunt had an extremely abusive father who beat him and raped his sister. Probably why he had possibly the best chin and pain tolerence in mma and kickboxing history.

Yeah, I suck
For what it’s worth, they say the same thing about special operations soldiers. Or the incredible guitar players/songwriters etc. It’s the ones that “made it out alive” and had the personality type to take a horrible situation and convert that anger into something productive - some of them. Those are the ones we hear about.
You know what happens to the all the others with horrific childhoods that didn’t become a world class fighter, musician, artist, soldier etc? Yeah, they’re in prison, in a gang, or dead.

Joe always forgets this.
Babalu’s was considered more egregious because he openly admitted he held it to teach him some respect.
Babalu was a beast

It’s such a satisfying beatdown.
One of the most one way traffic fights ever

The “greatest of all time” Jon Jones. What was terrible about his childhood? Him and all his brothers went to college, I pretty sure his dad was present, I could be wrong about that.
Jon is again a superior athlete first. He probably could have played in the MLB or NFL.
Wife beater, eye poker…ok but killer nope.
I always looked forward to Thiago Sliva fights.
from wiki
Silva is from São Paulo, Brazil and had a difficult upbringing. He grew up in a very poor area and witnessed murders at a young age. To help support himself, he got his first job when he was only nine years old cleaning automobile parts. Silva was athletic, playing soccer and basketball, and attended school, but ran away from home at age 13 due to his allegedly abusive father, never to see his mother or younger brother again. He then lived on his own in the favelas or slums of São Paulo, moving into his friends’ homes who would allow him to stay. While working during the day, he would attend school at night, and would eventually graduate high school. The Brazilian favelas are notorious for being drug trafficking hot spots, and many of the neighborhoods are ruled by drug lords, some of whom would seek out Silva to help them and their children train. At age 18, Silva began to train in mixed martial arts and due to his poverty often had to choose between eating and training although his coach let him train for free in exchange for cleaning the facility.

Wasn’t he bloody, too? I’ll have to dig up that fight.

I’d have to strongly disagree on Jon not being a killer.
Dude throws shots with wicked carelessness for his opponents future wellbeing. He’s definitely an athlete but he’s also a fucking psycho in real life, he just pretends not to be.
Having a hard childhood helps make people mean but some people are just born that way regardless of how they were raised.

We need a thread on fighters who seem to want to HURT their opponents. We have the athletes like GSP who just wanted to win, but there are guys out there who are looking to do damage.

That’s one of my favorite submissions of all time, too. Didn’t Big Nog hit it on Heath Herring in Pride?
