Before you leap to chastise me for calling any professional mixed martial artist lazy, allow me to have my say.
First off, the fact that I feel the gentlemen featured in this list typically lack motivation doesn’t mean I intend to overtly disrespect any of them. In fact, of the men featured on this list, only one (you’ll likely guess the entrant the moment you see his name) actually rubs me the wrong way. Most of these guys are pretty gnarly fighters despite their apparent absence of drive.
So, before you start typing some hot air “how dare you” brouhaha, understand that the point of this piece is to have a little fun, keep it lighthearted and get you talking.
Who looks like a lazy clown in competition? Who was the laziest guy you ever witnessed walking into a cage? Could Tank have been a legitimate force had he decided to pry himself from the bar stool long enough to discover what the inner workings of an actual gym looked like?
These are amusing questions, and this is an amusing topic. It’s not meant to be interpreted as a dead-serious debate. If you’re too uppity to appreciate it, you may want to pull the stick from the Mighty Brown Eye…
