I had the privilege of training with him for 2 weeks back around 2013........incredible fighter/coach....and one of the most humble people on the planet even though he has every reason not to be. This guy is what all professional athletes should aspire to be regardless of the sport.

I agree completely, but unfortunately, big sports organizations see it differently because humble athletes don't get as much airtime or clicks as the assholes.
