Hell yeah only a matter of time before this thread turned into GOON KING OF THE RING

The first pro muay Thai fight I ever had was at an event called Ring Kings at a lovely bar in Los Angeles. Won the fight, got hit by a car after coming out of the bar.

Got suckered into fighting in a bare knuckle MMA bout in Moscow one time because my manager was a drunken rear end in a top hat.

Was fighting in an MMA match once in Florida right after I got my black belt in BJJ, and part of the ceiling of the building we were in collapsed into the ring. Had to get stitches from being cut by glass.

Got the poo poo beat out of me on some docks in the Phillipines after the World Kali stick fighting championships.

Got hosed up by a dude while learning Lethwei in Myanmar. There are injury timeouts in Lethwei so if a fighter gets KO'd, their corner has 2 minutes to get the fighter back in before the bout is called. It's the most brutal ring sport I've ever done.

Was in the trunk of a car when it crashed into a barricade.

Been stabbed/cut a couple of times. Shot at more than a few times but luckily never took a bullet.

Tons of concussions, been knocked out in bar brawls.

Have been to the Dog Brothers' Gathering of the Pack multiple times (full contact no protective gear stick fighting) and got smashed in the skull, lacerated thumb, broken ribs.

Been kicked in the head by Wesley Snipes. He hit pretty hard.

Steven Seagal hates me and the feeling is mutual. We can't be in the same room together but we never are anymore anyway.

A lot of my instructors were legit psychopaths and only wanted to hurt someone, their own students included.

I don't know if I would say I was "tough" so much as "resilient." I've walked away from so much poo poo that should have disabled or killed me it is fairly remarkable. I'd have to stop and figure out how many serious concussions I've had, but I think it's around 6 or so. Not including the time I had multiple skull fractures - I consider that particular TBI unique. I wrecked two cars in fairly spectacular ways, one of which didn't look survivable from the post-wreck pictures of the car.

I'm pretty sure my earliest memory is of the family dog trying to remove my face, followed closely afterward by seeing what a face full of stitches looks like.

A lot of this is just luck, though. I won the genetic lottery in terms of being resistant to concussions, and having a freaky ability to heal. Hence the wondering if "tough" or "resilient" are the better term.

I'm talking about when I was 35 or 36. Which I guess is young, depending on how you look at it.

I knocked a fortified supersoldier out with one punch and he shattered the back of his skull in addition to the front when he hit the ground.

I bet his piece of poo poo boss will come out here and complain about it not being a one sided war anymore and I bet I’ll knock him the gently caress out too.

It's Hammer Time!
If the toughest goon competition was held in 2010 when I was hauling kegs around at work and working out/sparring with a friend who was in the local D-tier MMA promotion I might have had a chance.


I'm old and fat and a computer toucher now. So still probably in the top third.

I think it's me.

I've had 12+ concussions and never been KOed.

I've fallen through floor on 2nd story house fire. Self rescued, got out of the building cause I lost my helmet in the fall. Someone brought it out to me and I went back in. I've been burned and cut up too many times to count. I've subdued people on spice, blow, fent, etoh, etc.

Bounced clubs on and off for 17 years.

Other than bouncing I've never been in an angry altercation though. Never been shot or stabbed or anything, but I did subdue a drunk guy that pulled a knife, I was young and stupid and just lucky he wasn't super committed to using it.


BJJ Black Belt....Im not training regularly these days but I'm pretty big/strong so anyone who's ever grappled will understand what this is like.

Almost 20 sanctioned MMA fights. Winning record both amateur and professionally. Never been finished, all the Ls are judges decisions but one was doctor stoppage for a cut where I was getting my rear end kicked and bleeding everywhere.

I was still awake and going at it though.

Edit: I know posting a longass seriousish reply is wack, but I do take toughness mega seriously

OH yeah??????? but if you hurt me i will cry and poo poo my pants!!! what are you gonna do THEN huh?? HUH??????
