Close your eyes and picture a professional fighter. What do you see? Jacked muscles? Cauliflower ears? A scowling leathery face that has been hardened from years of eating punches? While no two fighters look the same, there is a bit of a mold that these guys seem to step out of.
This is a list of 10 professional fighters who don’t fit the standard mold. Be it their generally chipper demeanor or their less-than-chiseled physique, but if you had never seen a lot of these guys in action before, you would never guess that they cause pain for a living. These are athletes who, if you encountered in a bar, you might actually feel as if you could kick their ass. If you didn’t know better, these professional punishment providers could pass as tax attorneys, eye doctors or the opening act for Larry The Cable Guy.
Just for fun, I’ve decided to throw in some Hollywood Casting Agent magic. If these fighters went to a casting agency, looking for work in film, their appearance would greatly determine what role they landed. I’ve taken a guess at which part some of these fighters would receive.
Enjoy.
