Patrick Habirora has explained why he considers mixed martial artists a bit boring. The budding PFL star recently discussed his passion for anime, manga, and mixed martial arts during an appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show.
Additionally, ‘The Belgian Bomber’ said that he doesn’t mind admitting his fear, but that won’t stop him from knocking someone out.
Patrick Habirora finds MMA fighters a bit boring, as in his opinion, they are not authentic and frequently give the impression that they are fearless when, in fact, everyone is. He told Helwani:
“I think [MMA fighters] are a little bit boring. They’re always saying the same thing and the same sentences. For example, they’re going to say, ‘I’m never scared about this guy. I’m going to crush him out. I don’t feel anything.’ We all feel the same feelings. We all are stressed, we all have our hearts beating fast… Stop lying or stop pretending to be someone you’re not. Everyone is trying to fit in the same cases and same boxes. I’m not like this. I love MMA. I love mangas. I love anime. I don’t mind to say that I’m scared, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not gonna knock you out.”
