The life of a professional fighter isn't all glitz and glamour.
As if getting punched, kicked, kneed, choked and twisted into a pretzel on a regular basis isn't enough, fighters attract a general wackiness that makes their lives, well...interesting.
To commemorate these day-to-day hardships, slip-ups, pranks, and more, we bring you, "The Weekly Grind."

@dragonsfighter @lokesh1092 Conor can't beat people who only get 2 weeks to train for a fight, he's a mutt just like @danhardymma was a mutt

@riddletuf7 haha! Stick to the fake stuff you clown. I didn't train with you because you aren't worth my sweat. You are a chump.

Funny how there is an official fight announced and I 1) Havent spoken to anyone 2) Agreed on opponent or date 3) Signed a bout agreement.
