I like UFC and other variants but when at Buffalo Wild Wings, I don't want someone to talk to me about their "MMA career".

MMA Douchebag:
Any kid who "thinks," he's a badass, and can can kick anyones ass becuase he took 1 MMA class at his gym.
These kids threaten to fight someone, but will almost always backoff If the other person agrees to fight.
Or by mistake they threaten the wrong person, and end up getting thier ass kicked by a real badass.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=MMA+Douchebag

I am a novice so I will opt not to fight unless I can use a gun. Over the years I have met a few and was talked into rolling. I have done Judo and had my ass kicked since a young age so I can hurt someone enough to make they not like it even if they "win". I like to hurt bullies and really like to embarrass wanna-be bullies. So when pressured to fight, I am beyond angry.
To avoid the MMA douchebags there are several indicators:
1. Maybe he is mad because you are having too much fun during combatives and he is going to teach you a lesson.
2. He has bought all the gear, Tibo workout cd, and wears a t-shirt. But like valor, fighting skills can't be bought at the PX.
3. He talks about fights, repeats Vin Diesel quotes from Knock Around Guys. He quotes Vin diesel period.
4. He walks up to you in the gym and corrects you on how you are doing your crossfit style exercise. He tells you how he is better.
5. Knows the fight stats of every MMA fighter and has not fought himself.
6. Believes MMA is the answer to life and every day situations.
7. They refer to MMA as its own form (which it is not; one studies several forms that you apply together).

For you entertainment a real MMA Douche that actually made it.. before he got pooped on.

I can only comment based on 35 years of hard earned experience in the field of Martial Arts/MMA having been a mixed martial artist long before it was "popular" and turned into a rampant SPORT event, that I have had the amazing displeasure of meeting more than my share of "MMA Douchebags". Many of them are still in the military. Sad, indeed. Just about anyone can train to fight a single person inside a controlled environment, with rules and regulations governing how the fight should be conducted. I have learned that in a REAL hands-on altercation there are NO RULES, and someone is more than likely going to the hospital. I think these so called bad-asses of which you speak may realize that at some point in the bleak dark parts of their minds, and that someone standing up to them triggers the mechanism that warns them, "oh, crap, I'm about to go to the hospital"...and then all the back-pedaling begins. I've seen it when I was a bouncer years ago, as well as when I was a bounty hunter and private security detail/psd team member (civilian based) back in the '90s. People are always real verbal badasses until you SHOW them you are ready to bring the pain. Just my humble opinion.

Just to prove I know what I'm talking about.

Never verbally bad ass. Smiles first. Then lies. Then comes gunfire.

I saw this too and that is not how a real martial arts student would act. Martial artists have a high level of discipline and this guy lacked everything. In my experience you never have to worry about the talkers it's the strong silent types you need to be afraid of. It was nice seeing this guy get his butt kicked by a classier individual.

I know a few people that think BJJ is the answer to life.

TSgt Joshua Copeland, I don't think there is a prefect martial art or one that is the answer to life. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. Nearly all have benefits when going against an untrained opponent. I train in BJJ, because it's great exercise and in my opinion would be greatly beneficial in a fight. I realize against multiple attackers being on the ground is a problem. Though, I carry every time I go out. If there are multiple attackers it's going to be two to the chest, not an armbar.
