Physically they don't look impressive. Brock Lesnar and Kimbo Slice are the only impressive physically MMA fighters. Most of them don't have a 6 pack. Most of them are about 180 lbs and with a t-shirt on you wouldn't even thought they worked out. Don't they train??
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Why do most MMA fighters look so average??

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Most of them are about 180 lbs
They do have weight classes.
My first mma fight is in 8 days. I am 6' 1" and 165 pounds, although I can cut to 155 if I need to. I have a six-pack, and most of the skinnier guys do. Most fighters 185 and up are not very defined.
What you are seeing in the UFC is guys who have trained for 15-20 years. Their skill is a product of all of those years of training. I might look better than a few of them, but they can all kick my ass.

Physique is not a clear indication of how good a fighter they are.
Look at Fedor Emelianenko.
World's best heavyweight, undefeated, has slaughtered many giants such as NOG, Crocop, Sylvia etc etc...
Yet he doesn't seem to have a square rock chin, and seems a little overweight. He isn't cut, and though quite muscley doesn't have a HUGE amount of muscle mass, yet beats fighters with chiseled bodies like Randleman.
Looks are deceiving my friend, it seems you are new to the sport.

I read Fedor is a heavy vodka drinker. Cutting is mostly about the diet, and I the MMA guys probably care more about their strenght and agility than they do about their six-pack. Arlovski is both heavier and leaner than Fedor, but he still got destroyed.
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Just find a dojo. I would suggest that you attend a few local fight events and take note of how each school's fighters do. They usually announce the fighter's school when they walk out.
You can keep training the Muay Thai. That would be your striking art. Pick up a grappling art to round out your skills. I train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. You can go to nagafighter.com which is the web site of a submission grappling tournament and see the results of the Naga tournament near you. That will give you an idea of which schools are training the most successful grapplers, at least in bjj.

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

You try looking full and ripped when training for an endurance sport... Then you'll have your answer.
Um just about every NFL runningback, wide receiver, cornerback, linebacker, and defensive end looks ripped. Look at this pic of Shogun:Quiksilver said:

Completely average looking. Wtf.
NFL football players don't train for endurance. NFL players workout for strenght and power...and work on overall speedbud_2005 said:
MMA fighters need ENDURANCE....They do a lot of cardio
Plus a lot of NFL players workout to look pretty...they like showing off the guns...MMA fighters could give a ****...they are training to win a fight

MMA is a lot about FEELING another's energy in the fight. The firstest with the mostest is the bestest.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Adding muscle sacrifices flexibility. And in a sport where we try to bend each others' joints the wrong way, flexibility is very important.

MMA fighters will still outbuff most people. Whoever thinks they only train for endurance and not strength is retarded. Those matches last about 20 minutes MAX, while most don't even get past the first round.
Well I think football would be considered an endurance sport. There is a ton of running and you aren't recovering in those 30 seconds between plays. I've played football and you have to be in excellent condition to make it. Plus I disagree most pro football players are in it to show off their guns. Looking pretty doesn't get you big contracts, performance does.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
