I don't wanna come across as an asshole, but the guy called himself The Olympian but the best he ever won was bronze.
that always made me think he was a bit of a dick

Olympic athletes retire long before 39.
If he had been in a super weak division and barely made the Olympics once and yet went around calling himself Olympian 24/7 then yeah in that scenario you could maybe say it's annoying but that's not what happened.I don't wanna come across as an asshole, but the guy called himself The Olympian but the best he ever won was bronze.

Because if youre in the Olympics then youre in an event with a hyper individualized focus on peak athleticism; instead of professional MMA where the ingredients to success are much more diversified, lending to more longevity. He didnt need to retire imo. He quit prematurely which is whats so befuddling for someone who has Olympic tier experience, drive, discipline, dedication and fortitude.

Mark's the Olympian, our dudes the contrarian.Kinda comes across as an a-hole lol
Dude was one of the 3 best in the world as bronze, what were you?
There's no "longevity" at 39. Typical white belt nonsense.
