Zimmerman in a "MMA" fashion...and Zimmerman told his PA that we was taking MMA classes three times a week? I'm dumb about all this stuff, but I thought the language just popped out at me.

Sorry to be annoying, but the only fighting I heard about was Trayvon Martin and his friends filming some dudes fighting, but the defense first said that Trayvon was fighting.

If he got in a street fight that same night, why didn't he have some sort of injuries on him?

Maybe he got in a fight or fights, but that does not make him a "street fight" or a MMA...it makes him a teen...shit, I'd hate to think what you would think of my bother and friends of mine (many, many moons ago), they got in a few fights back in the day....

I don't know what makes one a "street fighter", but simply posted that there was info that seemed to show he did fight and brag about it.

It seemed quite implausible and improbable that Tvon would be trained in the very fighting methods that Zman just happened to have some knowledge of. It just goes to his mindset of being a wannabe -- wannabe cop, wannabe karate/mixed martial expert. That would be like me trying to explain that someone attacked me with a roundhouse kick from the Les Mills BodyCombat class. Oh really? How plausible is it that a random kid on the street would know the moves or lingo of Zman's workout routine. Plus, does he practice his MMA routine with a loaded weapon? It was just too weird to be believable.

One altercation on a school yard doesn't make a person a street fighter, even if a person accepts that Martin had a fight at school. Have you been reading rightwing websites. If so, why would you believe that trash unless it conformed to your own beliefs and views?
