The man is a douche.
Anyone who rigs BJJ tourneys, promotes himself to black belt, makes shitty music and worse hangs out with Spencer Pratt is a bottom feeder.

He's too small
Matt’s gonna control him too easily.
The both look skinny.
Well the weird thing about me is that I grew up fighting and one of my friends introduced me to MMA and I was like, 'Whoa, you mean I can beat up white dudes and not go to jail?"

I'm excited to see Bowling fight
He’s a local Cincy guy, and he has a cool story. I hope things work out for him.
