    I love how even now, as one of the more recognised MMA guys and arguably one of the best kick-boxers ever, he still doesn’t look like someone you’d be scared of on the street. Yet if sh*t went down, he could be in skin-tight jeans and with the ridiculous flexibility of this man, he’d hook kick KO anybody.
