I wouldn't be risking any relationship because this is a sport not street fighting. If they want get stupid about it then there arent the type of person I want as a friend.There are guys my weight and experience level sure but who would pay me to fight them? No one would pay for my medical thats for sure. How much do you get paid to fight anyway? You say now that if it was for the UFC title then it would be different, so you do think that GsP and MacDonald should fight?
I agree that the tri-star guys very well may know how the fight would go. So fucking what, we dont (fans) and they are top contenders. What other sport do people refuse to play against their friends?
Who said anything about fighting anyone any time? The topic was fighting your training partner if you were going to get paid. Considering what these guys get paid and that they get their medical problems addressed, Yes I would. I used to box my very best friends in high school and we held nothing back, got fucked up, and made fun of each other and were closer as ever, but my friends are not so monkey brained that they have to convince themselves they hate someone to fight them. It is awkward until you start fighting, yes, especially if you haven't fought before. I know boxing is really more comparable to sparing not a mma fight.
