These top 10 worst responses from fighters after losing matches, why do pros behave like this at times? This content is protected
We like to think that people with power over others will use it responsibly and never to abuse others who are weaker than them. This is true whether it be martial artists, boxers, government officials, soldiers, international bankers or anything else. You would think that in order to achieve the level of skill and ability to fight professionally in hand-to-hand combat, it would require so many years of discipline and life lessons that it would instill a level of humility, respect and morality into that individual. Unfortunately, human nature has shown that this is not necessarily the case. There are studies that show that people who grow up doing a martial art or combat sport are less likely to engage in violence, but there are other studies that suggest that professional fighters are more likely to engage in violence than the general population. Whatever the truth, there are fighters that clearly don't care about self-control and give into violent impulses without hesitation. That's why you see stuff like James Butler punching Richard Grant after the fight or Badr Hari stomping on a downed opponent and getting disqualified. Some of these are less serious and just show a huge lack of class and maturity. Again, you'd hope a professional would behave as a role model, but many of these guys are stuck with a teenager's level of maturity.
