Hello Everyone,

The next fighter I'm going to present is a very controversial person to choose, but hear me out.  This man is a fighter!  BOB SAPP....readers might be thinking I'm an idiot, I'm crazy, I don't know what I'm talking about, but believe me, Bob Sapp is a fighter.

This man was an entertainer just as much or more than a fighter, but you know what?  He got what he wanted, he made the money he wanted, he got a fan base, he got haters, but you know what about those haters?  FUCK THEM!  Who cares what they think!  Bob Sapp shouldn't care and you know what?  I don't care either for his haters!  Bob Sapp did something that MOST MEN IN THIS WORLD WILL NEVER DO OR EVER GET TO DO WHICH IS TO FIGHT ON MAJOR FIGHT PROMOTIONS THAT WERE THE BEST IN HUMAN HISTORY...

HE GOT TO FIGHT IN THE K-1 PROMOTION and PRIDE FC!  These were the best fight promotions in history and he will be remembered while haters will never get to do what he did.

Sure he used steroids.  Sure he didn't have good technique, sure he didn't have endurance because he was so massive, and sure he didn't have a fighting style that he was known to use, but you know what...

Bob Sapp was able to do something that ALL REAL FIGHTERS  MUST DO WHICH WAS MAKING ONESELF GO FORWARD INTO THE FIGHT.

I have never talked about this subject on this blog, but if there is one thing that all martial art teachers cannot teach is making someone go forward (move forward) against an opponent in the ring, cage, or street!  I'll never forget my Muay Thai coach (not my Muay Thai teacher, there is a difference between a coach and a teacher) talking about this with one of my fellow Muay Thai classmates.  He told us he could never teach someone to go forward...it was all up to oneself to go forward.  THIS IS THE HARDEST THING ABOUT LEARNING HOW TO FIGHT!  YOU CAN TRAIN HARD AND WORKOUT HARD, BUT IN THE END, GOING FORWARD IS ALL UP TO ONESELF AND NO ONE CAN TEACH YOU THAT!

Anyway, back to Bob Sapp, even though he probably threw fights on purpose he was a warrior who wasn't afraid to fight anybody.  HE BEAT ERNESTO HOOST TWICE!

This is why I cannot put up with bullshit in the martial arts community and why I do not believe all martial arts are equal!  Some are better at teaching oneself how to fight against another human being and getting a person in physical and mental shape to do it.  The fighting styles mentioned on this blog are the ones I believe are the best at it!
