Paul thought he was becoming something special with his sparring with his father’s men at arms. Duncan knows he needs to learn to lose to learn to be better, so he goes real speed with him, slow enough to knife through the shield but fast enough to pass Paul’s guard.

Zuckerberg looks to be living in both worlds. He has never been athletic in his life and he absolutely came to his training in a skinny-fat state of existence. But he’s taking some lessons seriously, those combinations were slow but smooth, and you don’t get to smooth without a lot of work beforehand.

He’s also sparring to feel good sometimes, like this video, as is the right of the king.

I do find it interesting he’s training with a guy who’s just making his UFC debut, he didn’t go grab some past champion marquee trainer or some current ham-and-egger, he found someone hungry and on the rise. Or at least, his staff did. Good for him.
