Around SBN: NFL Owners Vote to Change Trade Deadline

The Fighter We'd Most Like To Be Our Personal Trainer

Photo

Welcome to this week's installment of "The Fighter We'd Most Like To...". Thanks to everyone who voted last week in our "The Fighter We'd Most Like To Be Our Valentine" poll. The winner with 25% of the vote was These Choices Are Terrible. Congrats!

If you're one of the many people who made a new year's resolution to get in shape, this might be about that time when you start to really struggle with sticking to your goal. Maybe you hate exercise and are just tired of doing anything. Or, maybe you like exercise but you're completely bored with the routine you've established. In any case, it might be helpful to just go ahead and pay someone for some one-on-one time to kick your butt into fitness submission. Fighters are pretty tough and I'm sure some of them can be really bossy and effective, and eye candy can be extremely motivational, so why not pick a fighter to be your personal butt-kicking fitness trainer? But, who would be the best one to choose? There are just so many good choices. Check out our thoughts on this topic and let us know what you think, too!

Knitty: I pretend that I like to stay in shape, but mostly I want someone that can run for miles with me and help me get less flabby. Cris Cyborg would scare me into never going back to the gym again, so I'm going to go with Frankie Edgar. I want his cardio.

Lizzie: My fear of Cris Cyborg would keep me on track. But realistically, Roy Nelson.

Jackie: Chris Barnett. I know he likes video games, I'm pretty sure he likes comics (his nickname is Beast Boy, after all), and so I know that when he wasn't screaming at me to quit crying and get back to work, we'd have lots of stuff to talk about.

Midge: Big Country! I like Burger King

Rachel: Nick Diaz. The man runs triathlons for fun. Who trains full time then decides a triathlon would be a nice cool down? I need more insanity in my workouts, anyway. Not to mention a mean mug is a great persuader.

Nick Diaz for the win!

I imagine a regimen of crunches where when you get up you get to take a quick puff off of a blunt that he rolled. Good times.

Id want sexyama

God help me, I lusted, and there is a promise in such sweat. But it is a whore's vengeance, and you must see it; I set myself entirely in your hands. I know you must see it now.

Are you guys crazy!?

Nick Diaz would leave you for dead on the third hill, while he runs home for another session of medically prescribed marijuana.
I’ll take Cyborg just for the “a girl (a stretch, I know) is beating you” mentality. And she’d mean mug me into giving my all every work out.
