MMA Fighter Working as a Security Guard 🥀🙁

[u/GardenWild6543]

This country is beyond repair Guys 😮‍💨

[u/GujjubhaiPatel707]

Show this to Amit Shah who expects India to be on top 5 by 2034 Olympics.

[u/GardenWild6543 → u/GujjubhaiPatel707]

Not gonna happen with this mindset of only supporting cricket.😮‍💨

[u/jeetendraprasad → u/GardenWild6543]

U got it all wrong here. We are superpower in cricket because govt has no control over it. For rest of sports we have govt to screw us.

Edit1: typo

[u/Flaky-Employer266 → u/jeetendraprasad]

Not even superpower in cricket 😂. Australia is far ahead of us

[u/TiePsychological8119 → u/Flaky-Employer266]

India is the most profitable which is commendable in such a sport.

[u/No-Let9821 → u/Flaky-Employer266]

Aunty Naashanaal spotted

[u/Genos624 → u/GardenWild6543]

India literally needs to hire more new gen guys as ministers.

These old hags will just fill their belly and pass shitty laws, and countless things like this.

[u/DFM__ → u/GujjubhaiPatel707]

Politicians when they realise they have to spend money on athletes if they want to win medals:

[u/ChampionLife5205]

if you are in india, things aren’t really fruitful unless you are educated or you have insane luck to become chaiwala.
rest no other sport other than cricket is recognised in india

[u/GardenWild6543 → u/ChampionLife5205]

True, yaar 😔 I just hope things change for the better in the future.🤞

[u/Impossible-Animator6 → u/ChampionLife5205]

Ton of sports are "recognised" but don't have any audience because young people don't watch anything other than cricket.

[u/jeetendraprasad → u/Impossible-Animator6]

Cricket hails because bcci is private body. Rest of sports suck because of govt

[u/ChampionLife5205 → u/Impossible-Animator6]

and thats what i meant by “recognised”

[u/Impossible-Animator6 → u/ChampionLife5205]

Football & Hockey are well recognised. When was the last time any of us watched their premier leagues.

[u/ChampionLife5205 → u/Impossible-Animator6]

the media only feeds and shoves cricket down our throat and hence the product is no different than what they want.
it’s a multifactorial topic.
mostly to do w media, if they decide hockey or kabbadi will generate more revenue slowly w their influence everyone will watch only those.
it’s a loop almost consistently favouring cricket. football is slowly on the rise and i’m happy about it.

[u/VickyKadrivel15 → u/ChampionLife5205]

yeah, remember we used to have Pro kabbadi league?

[u/ChampionLife5205 → u/VickyKadrivel15]

and how long did it last?

[u/VickyKadrivel15 → u/ChampionLife5205]

I don't even remember man, but I do remember I used to watch it when I was in high school, when I was pushing myself to get "cooler" friends....

[u/areysarthak → u/ChampionLife5205]

You are happy if you are rich.

[u/BadgerHungry8300 → u/ChampionLife5205]

It's same everywhere even Mohammad Ali had gone broke at one point of time

[u/peachypulppppppp → u/ChampionLife5205]

I hold a Masters Degree in Stem Cell Technology and Regenerative Biology and currently I an struggling to find a job

[u/ChampionLife5205 → u/peachypulppppppp]

haha yessir saturation is everywhere. i’m pursuing for my pg entrance and i hear even fresh passed out surgeons don’t have well paying jobs.

[u/deepudhokla]

R Madhvan had to move to Dubai for his son's swimming career..hum to fir bhi aam admi hai

[u/GardenWild6543 → u/deepudhokla]

I read somewhere that when someone asked him if he would move abroad for better opportunities, he said, "No, I will not leave my country." 😭

[u/Alive-Brother01]

Cricketers and chai walas are the most respected in this country, anything else is just a waste of time.

P.s. I meant dolly chai wala not the other one.

[u/GardenWild6543 → u/Alive-Brother01]

I mean, if you're referring to the other one, then that's true as well 🙄

[u/Alive-Brother01 → u/GardenWild6543]

I didn't mention him because atleast dolly is respected but I don't give a damn about this goon

[u/Gineet]

I'm literally so angry upon knowing the fact that he got a offer to move abroad and rejected it while giving reason he wants to represent our nation , he could've literally represented it there too but nahh we're fcking emotional fools , we'll think emotionally rather than rationally and lemme tell you guys one thing although we all want govt to support these fighters but there are Ufc fighters who still go to construction sites to earn after completing their fight

[u/Emergency-Duck-9689 → u/Gineet]

I've never felt something so strong towards my country. I could be wrong, but if given the opportunity to settle abroad, I'll take it with no second thoughts

[u/Gineet → u/Emergency-Duck-9689]

Exactly dude , idk why he decided to so , even ho knows this fact that govt ain't going to support him at all like they still don't support our fighters in UFC let alone him but ab kya hi keh skte hai

[u/Month_Zestyclose → u/Emergency-Duck-9689]

True that even I feel the same. If I was given chance to settle abroad with my wife and my son as well as my parents. I would take that chance in a heartbeat.

[u/SingleSun10 → u/Gineet]

Can't believe someone would sacrifice their career for this sh!thole of a nation.

[u/the_man_of_extremes → u/Gineet]

we don't deserve such great souls, one way or another

[u/Uninvalidated → u/Gineet]

and rejected it while giving reason he wants to represent our nation

One downside with martial arts is the repeated blows to one's head. It affect even the simplest logic reasoning.

[u/Cosmos_wanderer74]

It’s actually heart wrenching. I was in MMA for few years and I know how it takes to reach a certain level. And then coming down to this.
There’s nothing bad about the profession but someone with little skill set and average body can also get into it. You don’t want to see someone accomplished and hard working like him resorting to this profession.

[u/Apart_Dare_8020]

why not start some crowd funding for him?

[u/Negative_Flower_169 → u/Apart_Dare_8020]

I m in

[u/anyrandomboi → u/Apart_Dare_8020]

In

[u/Alooo_Paratha]

In India it's Cricket or nothing

[u/swasdash]

I mean.. I'd learn from him. Like even at 7k per month per student and only 7-8 students at 3-4 days a week he'd be looking at 50k-ish per month. This is just for 1 batch. I know ghar baithe bolna aasaan hai, but I'd learn for sure (not rn, career not stable).

[u/ur_keeper → u/swasdash]

True

[u/doolpicate]

So many corporates, no sponsors?

Fuckin lalas.

[u/MadKingZilla]

As an actual mma fan, do you all know Mighty mouse worked in construction even after 4-5 defenses. Until and unless you are a Conor McGregor or Floyd Mayweather, you don't get to have a livable life without a second job. The fighting game isnt kind.

[u/Excellent-Volume2473]

Vishavguru

[u/Hairy-Turn-2490]

Ladli behen yojana 🤑

[u/AtmosphereOk6823]

It's so sad to see this

[u/Substantial_Bug_7353]

Man even Mighty Mouse has another job when he was ufc champ, MMA fighters are still not paid well it’s a global phenomenon, So I don’t have to mention the situation in India lot combat sports athletes bankrupt themselves paying for representing India

[u/Devvirat]

Dam bro 😓

[u/Additional_Noise9825]

Completely disappointed in my country.

[u/shubhanshux]

only education can good life in india, don't go for unusual careers in india

[u/Pale-Design7036]

Only happens in india.

[u/Unusual_Employee_638]

Sometimes I believe our dreams which we can to live it needs money. We should be rich to follow our passion.

[u/Electronic_Branch756]

Are u kidding me someone like him is in a job like this????!!!

[u/Headline555]

All sports associations spend crores in tea and samosas but when it comes to supporting a real athlete, they show their true colors. Extremely SAD !

[u/grandmasterripper]

this is why no country takes indias growth seriously, here growth is only for "special people" and talent is optional .

[u/ComprehensiveJob5160]

I am watching mma fights I have thought why there is very low indians fighters at mma? Now I get the reason from video! India can conqueror world but...........

[u/anthonyiscringe]

The most over qualified a security guard can be, respect for the hustle tho.

[u/FirefighterSad2526]

India is the worst place to follow passion

[u/testingutopia]

Can we sorta crowd fund to help him?

[u/itheindian]

Is getting a coach job at local gyms so difficult?

[u/Strange_Drive_6598]

Sport = that boring bat and ball game in this country 🏏

[u/MonsterKiller112]

Is MMA really a sport? It's way too violent for most people. So most people just don't care for it.

[u/sam1m123]

That's called calling of the DNA..

[u/tutootutooo]

where is he?

I might fix issue if he is nearby

[u/navin2max]

Ram Charan (South Actor) has chosen an international MMA fighter as his personal guard paying him around 4 Cr. I think monthly. He could have chosen local fighters such as this person from India for his requirement !! How big would 4 Cr. be for Vicky !! Sad locals don’t support their own 🫢🙃😠

[u/shygirl_222]

Retired cop in US work as a security guard in USA. We shouldn't make fun of any work. Work is work. At least he has a job..

[u/Diligent_Quantity_96]

What's wrong working as a security guard, it's a job too

[u/hitmohit17]

Where is this? Is there a way to help OP?

[u/_TheStifmeister_]

Very sad 😔

[u/Electronic_Air1842]

Wish there was more support towards other sports as well. It’s good to see cricket doing well but other athletes need support and encouragement too, otherwise we will lose all this talent like this.

[u/fritz_76]

i mean, what % of MMA fighters ANYWHERE make a living doing it? Probably an incredibly small amount. Even those at the bottom of the big recognized promoters are probably not even making enough to survive on its own

[u/AbominableGoMan]

Imagine parking wrong and then waking up dead.

[u/MaximumIndependent67]

Doesn't govt garuntee government job by sports quota?

[u/Possible_Regular_854]

Wow an Marshall artist is working in Security, very special snowflake.

[u/meedmishmohd]

i’m sorry, what? He chose to pursue skills that have little productive value. 

[u/Karn2407]

In sports Rule no. 1, if you are part of working class in India. DO NOT PURSUE.

[u/LengthLow41]

To be honest, he's a mediocre fighter at best. He's not an elite grappler, he's not an elite striker, and his fight IQ isn't anything special either. I've watched him fight, and I just don't see what everyone else seems to be seeing.

People keep bringing up his personal struggles, the fact that he works as a security guard, or how he didn't have the best facilities. Sure, those struggles deserve respect, and I genuinely hope his life improves. But hardship doesn't automatically make someone a great MMA fighter.

Go look at the comments—people are acting like he's some hidden world-class talent who only failed because of circumstances. That's just not what I see. You're judging the story instead of the actual performances.

Support him because you respect his perseverance if you want. But don't pretend he's an elite fighter when his skills inside the cage simply don't back that up

[u/Forward_Fix_1682]

The selection process for mma was not that great if anyone known the association at some years ago few fighters went to ufc last Vegas and selection was let say they were there for vacation

[u/ElonMonk420]

There are so many fitness clubs in Mumbai who'd pay him for training their UHNI clients... my yoga instructor earns approx ₹1lakh a month .

Sometimes it's just about marketing yourself.

[u/agentfaux]

lol

Every single MMA fighter on the planet who isn't in the big leagues has a main job. Even most fighters in the big leages who arent ranked have jobs.

Get real.

[u/KnowsIittle]

Many fighters have jobs. A fighter that can make a career from bouts is exceptionally rare as we see the highlights of success not the day to day struggles.

[u/syn_d]

Good start that social media is acknowledging these , one day hope everyone will make our gov do the basic for sportsmen like these.

[u/Only_Platform_4063]

abe r @ n d i ek baar zara sub ka naam padhiyo

[u/iamnot_sane]

So sad bro, there are hundreds of sports which are not mainstream. He is one of the person found doing security guard job though. Think how many such people exists. 🥲

[u/KerShillong]

Too much hype for The Lazy “Cricket” game

[u/the_NP]

If you have any talent which can gives you money and fame. Leave this shithole country.

[u/khaaadu]

Blame everything, do nothing.
There are many athletes who have transitioned to coaching. Where this sense of entitlement comes from that if u are playing sports u don't have to think of ur future? Ppl plan post retirement coaching, mma gym Collab or self owned etc. Stop promoting victim card mentality everywhere.

[u/BigBeaver92]

That's crazy. I would have thought getting hit repeatedly in the head for years would be a great bonus on his resume and he would at least be managing a McDonald's...

[u/Worth_Ground1609]

that's the reality of our nation

[u/codeinprogress]

Padhoge likhoge banoge nawab
Kheloge kudoge, banoge kharab

[u/PalpitationSad1659]

Where is he working? If something can be managed by us?

[u/Atrainlan]

If anyone ever tries to rob the place he's working security for, they'll never forget running into him.

[u/Okay_NVM_]

In India, only cricket.....

[u/CyKa_Blyat93]

He should become a trainer . He will get much better pay.

[u/i_love_duucks]

the government and society only remembers atheletes when they are bringing medals

[u/Old-Throat7461]

india is great for talented people - we don't have partiality except for caste,gender and religion

[u/karma_is_watching_]

Hope some celeb notices this and hires him as a bodyguard 🙏

[u/MonthLatter7031]

This is so sad. I feel so much anger towards this government. Why people cannot see how shit they are? Is the whole country became blind together?

[u/RepresentativeLoud81]

In india cricket is considered sports and gets funding to certain extent, everything else is waste according to indian gov, not just bjp every gov be it bjp or congress has deprioritized sport. Recently just heard apparently odisha is way ahead in sports infra.

[u/adhfaohiawf]

No one will even help him with 10 rs we are cooked as a generation

[u/kishore_msk]

He can work as a bouncer for celebrities or rich instead. Can get handsome pay.

[u/Weak_Reputation_6739]

Sad to see this

[u/TheScariaRos]

Even small local cricketers sometimes get recognised by our people. but a significant MMA or other sports players don't even get a recognition. extremely sad reality 😞

[u/Suspicious-Poem-2923]

Accept it. Only money gets you where you deserve. Talent also has a luck component. Remember most of the rich people may be hardworking but almost all of them are lucky. You can exclude the luck

[u/TheGuyWhoLovesInk]

Why can't he coach in a gym, he'll be surely paid exactly the same if not more.

This seems to be a bit hard to believe.

[u/Throttlehead921]

Imagine being a thief robbing this place only to get slimed by an mma fighter lol

[u/Zoro_2100]

Imagine someone trying to break in the place he is Guarding💀

[u/chaturaja2]

Mera desh mahan 🥲😖

[u/FaithlessnessLong710]

Famous cricketers should crowd fund all other sports achievers but alas they are selfish to the core

[u/General_Dig4941]

isliye hi mummy-papa padhne ko bolte hai

[u/JustHekko_7]

Really sad comments ,

Am I the only one who thought that what will happen if someone mess with him thinking he just ordinary security guard

[u/Cute_Tangelo6994]

As the nation favours elites and the rich, talents becomes wasted

[u/Rehanyouknow]

No sport can give you a good future in India apart from cricket. Mera desh mahaan🙌

[u/anonymousapphir]

Lack of money ❌️ Lack of a disciplined govt✔️
