      To me he is a genuine example of a proper Chad. Polite, yet doesn't have to be because he can practically whoop your ass for the same result AND then some without breaking a sweat. And it's not even a sort of "hostile" politeness either where it's masqueraded intent behind candied words.. he's just the type of guy you WANT to return the politeness to because he seems just genuinely pleasant. Even in his prime fighting age he still had this aura of kindness and respect and you could get this verified by each interview after the fights where he showed respect to opponents. He is what any man should aspire to become.. though preferably with less pain.

      He is a beast for sure. I don't know about hardest hitting though. Just re-watched his fight with Tank Abbott and although he pulled out a submission, he definitely lost the "stand and bang" they engaged in. His face was a bloody mess and Tank walked away pissed looking unscathed. Apparently, his older brother told him before the fight not to exchange punches with Tank, but he didn't listen.
