Nicest and meanest fighters you have met in person

I've met Sonnen, Cruz, Guida, Thiago Silva, Anthony Johnson, Anthony Pettis, Johnny Hendrixs, Jens Pulver, Tim Kennedy, Daniel Porier, Lumumba Sayers, Paul Daley, Mauro, Frank Shamrock, Big John, Bart Palaszewski, Burt Watson, Probably a few more I'm forgetting.

My personal favorites were: Sonnen (told me how good I looked in my "Team Sonnen" shirt after a work out), Cruz (signed a shit ton of stuff, and played around with little kids), Jens (as soon as I told him I loved his movie, he turned to me and we started talking), Bart (stopped into my store to pick up the Xbox that was sent to him), and Kennedy (talked and joked immediately after he weighed in).

Renzo is by FAR the coolest dude you will ever meet, met him at adcc last year and he was swarmed by fans, i mean swarmed, rickson was there and paul harris you name it grappling royalty but their attention paled in comparison to renzo, dude is fan fav for a reason. To be honest rickson was sly as hell, he was sat a couple of rows behind us with his cap on trying to blend in and nobody noticed him and then i clocked it and was straight over there. Paul harris was super cool and dean lister was a nice guy too, took time after he had been competing all day and having a pint with his crew to take a few snaps. Phone Post

Not met an asshole fighter yet Phone Post

Chris lytle was extremely nice

Frank trigg, not so much Phone Post

KissMisery - Friend of mine is a waitress at a local club and Guida went in with a decent sized entourage and is ordering food, drinks, etc.

Waitress gives him the check and he replies, "You mean I have to pay for this? Do you know who I am?" I guess he went Karo on her until manager had to come in and smooth things over.

Rolled with Sergio Babu- guy just has this serene zen thing going on, v nice & polite too.

Ross Pointon is also a v pleasant guy- surprised by how short he was.

Trigg has been really accessible & cool as has Dean Lister

whoabro -  Chris lytle was extremely nice

I had a beer with Trigg after he fought at BAMMA in the UK and he was actually pretty cool.

Hendo, Sokoudjou and Soszysnki all trained at my gym when Hendo fought Rampage in the UK, and they were nothing but awesome dudes and had a lot of time for everybody. Couture was the same.

Not met many dicks really, one or two can be a bit temperamental and have been great some times when we've chatted and off the next time, then back to cool again. But they're only human, not everybody is in the best of moods all the time, it can be excused. Unless they were a real asshole...

Bootsy Collins - Ross Pointon is also a v pleasant guy- surprised by how short he was.


Yeah Ross is a good guy, will probably see him this weekend. Fought on his show before and one of my teammates is on it this weekend - he can be tight but all promoters have to be that way to make a buck haha. Good dude though.

Auzzie - Anyone wanna elaborate on Randy being a dick? Heard about this many times, pretty interesting
Was nothing but polite, respectful and humble when I met him. Interviewed him for some video for an old magazine I worked for at UFC 105, and before and after the camera were rolling he was just a nice guy. Hard to imagine him otherwise, but of course some people have off days or things going on in their life you don't know about.
   

Hendo bought me a lap dance in Birmingham. Then ended up shagging my friends stripper housemate in his flat. Ended up having breakfast with him. The next day at work my mate says to me that one of the UFC guys smashed his housemate and he had breakfast with him in the living room. Didnt believe him untill he Shows me a pic of him and hendo tucking in to some eggs. One of the best night outs I ever had. Phone Post
