Comments on: 5 Downfalls to Being a UFC fighter http://jeffjoslinmma.com/2009/07/5-downfalls-to-being-a-ufc-fighter/ UFC/MMA From a Professional Fighters Perspective Thu, 29 Jul 2010 19:43:49 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Devon http://jeffjoslinmma.com/2009/07/5-downfalls-to-being-a-ufc-fighter/comment-page-1/#comment-967 Devon Sat, 26 Jun 2010 08:29:47 +0000 http://jeffjoslinmma.com/?p=864#comment-967 Thanks for lookin' out again, Jeff. As always, looking out for your fellow fighters and fans. The points in this article were just reaffirmations of things I had already figured out after fighting amateur for 3 years here on Okinawa, Jp. The thing I don't understand is, how is it worse for pro fighters than amateur? I understand they are required to train more and there is more consequence to their fights (good and bad), but they see a paycheck. Us amateurs do it purely for the love of the sport (and because pro is not available in Okinawa). Am I missing something? Thanks again. Thanks for lookin’ out again, Jeff.

Fighting ugly dudes might be a good approach, as long as you stay away from Wanderlei :P #3 is wrong : Shogun and Arlovski are modelling and fighting still to this day.

I love reading your stuff and your guard pass series was excellent. I was in college (20 years old) for my first fight and I remember thinking some of the same stuff. Haha, great post Jeff.
