Honestly, despite his fights feeling more like movies than actual bouts, the prefight antics have been entertaining. The bouts themselves have mostly been lackluster. In fact, I turned off that second Woodley fight, only to find out it had one of the craziest KO's of the year the rd after I had turned it off.
I can't say Jake's bad or good for the sport. He's put eyes on the sport that otherwise wouldn't care. Though he's also taken away eyes from real fighters who have been doing it all their life and barely take home decent pay. There are definitely pros and cons to celebrity/youtube fighting. If I'll give Jake one thing, he has taken the sport as serious as can be and train like he means it.
