I've got a few..
I went to one Gracie seminar and explained this to a friend. He immediately dropped the phone and yelled to everyone in the room..."Jason's fighting MMA now"
My dad's has little exposure to MMA and used to watch UFC Unleashed or Fight Night when it was on Spike. I was telling him about a MMA fight that ended in a submission when he interrupted me and asked if it was by "bare naked choke??" He also calls Nogueira "Newgueira"
But the best one of them all is from Darren, a bb at my school who told a co-worker that he watches UFC and trains in BJJ. The co-worker comes in on Monday morning and tells Darren about a nutty MMA fight he saw over the weekend involving a guy with a tattoos and a mohawk that came out doing some crazy kicks but the fight was soon over after the other fighter caught his leg and knocked him out. He was talking about the NOS Energy drink commercial
Now, I'm off to put someone in the Gracie guard!
