      The dude was going easy on Aria... Aria has a really good body for sure but fighting is all about experience and attitude. Most fighters train since they were children and to compete with them you have to be either very talented or have long experience like them. That’s reality. To think that you can beat a real fighter is quite naive. But I don’t want discourage Aria in any way. I have huge respect for him and his accomplishment and I can see him possibly fight a way weaker opponent and actually beat him if he keeps training very hard.

      They don't, but if you've ever seen people just try to lose weight the doubt is reasonable. Look - everybody including the MMA guys said how difficult and rare this is.

The stress you feel in the hours leading up to a fight is something you can only understand from expiriencing it first hand. Good job Aria, you kicking ass!

But the way you did it the way you persevere through it I mean it has to be one of the most truthful and inspiring videos of BuzzFeed EVER. IT'S not just a personal story for the sake of being a personal story you shared something with us and tried to inspire us and you did all of that in a very cinematic way a beautiful way and also in a very educational way to prove us that if you believe in yourself go through the process engage into the meanings and the means necessary for that process to go well then there's nothing there to stop you. Then it's only a matter of time. You showed us that it's truly possible and I think that's freaking amazing thanks aria thank you very much.
