A local Chicago news station referred to him as an MMA pioneer in their online article. Does anyone here find that valid, or completely disagree with that label like I do?
- several articles state that
https://www.google.c…imbecile - Definitely not an MMA pioneer. He's a street-brawling social-media pioneer. He definitely did that. failed as an MMA fighter.sofakingback
- or is he a pioneer because he went from street fighting to pro mma fighter? Is that it?sofakingback
- Correction, he was "good" at street fighting. Kicked a few asses on video and the internet made him famous. That got him into the UFC.Maaku
- Correction to what? Him being a pioneer? Im confused. I think thats what I said, he was famous for street brawling on social media, which took him to the UFCsofakingback
- Does.drake-von-drake
- Correction to the pioneer comment on the media, lol. relax :)Maaku
- This particular outlet, WGN, has mediocre writers who can't even proofread their own work. They even have a "Suggest a correction" linkmg33
- at the bottom of their articles so that readers can do the proofing and editing for them.mg33

- What's funny is that if you look up "MMA pioneers," you don't see him mentioned.mg33
- Anytime I hear the word "pioneer", my ass twitches. So abused. Subjective crap.drake-von-drake
