Given enough time, I'm sure one can say the same about anything from tennis to golf, and find just as many delinquents in those endeavors.

Of course, champ. Tennis, golf and... cage fighting.

Learning fighting skills take discipline and hard work for future rewards.

These are characteristics not normally associated with criminals.

Drawing conclusions from one data point is a trap all of us humans have to guard against.

There really isn't a lot of them considering the sport. I can think of five.

There's a lot more Chuck Liddells, Jon Jones, and Wanderlei Silvas than there are Joe Sons, Jon Koppenhavers, Jeremy Jacksons, or Chael Sonnens (that one surprised me).

So, what else is it about UFC fighters that make them more prone to crime, in your opinion, than their skills at fighting?

Most UFC guys are respectful law-abiding citizens who are trained to do combat sports in a regulated environment. Idiots like this guy and Tank Abbott and a few others are anomalies.

Well, if they're anything like what your posts indicate about you, I'd say their delusional, because you keep reading things I'm not writing.

Now, if you'll pardon me, I've wasted enough time chatting at you.
