Hieron Blasts "Green Light" Image
Jay Hieron says a recent video that named him chief humbler of inexperienced braggarts who come to Xtreme Couture--ie, that he beats the crap out of armchair warriors--is giving people the wrong idea. He's no brute in the gym.
"It's about respect," he told MMAInsider. "It's about having no respect for the gym. If these guys are trying to put me in my place, then they're not real fighters. That's like me going to your house and being a straight up asshole. Would you tell me to leave?
"So that's what it's about. It's not about me trying to beat up guys that can't fight. C'mon. What do I get out of that? I'm a professional. I get paid for this. That's the last thing I'm trying to do. It's a respect thing. And by all means, I'm happy to do it if somebody comes in and disrespects. I feel that's my house, and I'm going to protect it from apes.
"Everybody took it the wrong way. Everybody has their own opinion on it, and they don't know what the hell's going on. I just wanted to clear the air with that."
Hieron is, as ever, hard at work in the gym, preparing for his fight with Paul Daley at Affliction: Trilogy on Aug. 1 in Anaheim.
Armchair warriors should, however, stay away as a precaution.
"If I went to a gym and did that, I hope somebody would do that to me," said Hieron. "I'm not like that, but that's how we make our living. That's our workplace."Labels: Affliction 3, jay hieron
