Being a UFC fighter has a downside?

UFC veteran Jeff Joslin knows the ups and downs of being a pro mixed martial artist. He’s a really good guy and he’s also got a pretty good sense of humour about what he does. He takes the job seriously, not himself, which is a good attitude to have. Take, for example, his latest blog entry over at JeffJoslinmma.com, where he writes about the “5 Downfalls to being a UFC fighter.”

In a nutshell (although I recommend you clicking on over there to read all of them), there’s the unwanted and utterly useless advice from complete strangers (“Do more squats!”), the “my face is not as pretty as it used to be” problem, and the fact that being a professional fighter is not an automatic ticket to picking up chicks. Really, Jeff? It’s not? I find that one a little hard to swallow, but if you say so, although maybe it has a little bit to do with that whole unpretty face problem. Just saying.
