    We all know there are some well educated boxers but, I've yet to hear of any particularly intelligent MMA guys. Do you guys know of any?

    Liddel was an accountant before fighting
    Franklin was a teacher before fighting
    Definitely NOT the Diaz brothers.

    Off the top of my head I'm not sure.

    Ken Flo and Lauzon. I think both were computer engineers. Massachusetts guys are usually smarter.

    They're all dumb, boxers are scholars, your stereotype is right. Bye bye now.

    Liddell- Reputation for being a bar fighter, Iceman became his nickname because of his reputation of being coked up and looking to start **** everywhere he went. Just speaking truth, he's from my area.
