After a bout in Vegas with Jordan Heiderman, Chandler Cole, MMA heavyweight, claimed he was "a role-model for all dad bods across the globe".
They fought at Ultimate Fighter 30 to secure a spot in the semi-finals.
Cole's acrobatics were not enough to keep Cole from being outmatched in the heavyweight match.
TUF30 events are normally fought over two rounds. However, the scorecards were equal and the fight was extended to five minutes.
Cole may have been disappointed with the final result.
He produced the moment of truth in Round 1, when he landed a spectacular, spinning back-heel punch.

The 27-year old is well-known at "The Hammer" and delivered a serious blow to an unsuspecting Heiderman.
Cole is 5'10 tall and weighs 265lbs. His spinning kick sent his opponent flying into the octagon.
As he tried to win, the Virginia native piled on after the kick with a flurry punches and trapped his opponent on the floor.
Heiderman, however, fought back to keep his unbeaten record of 6-0 - even though Dana White, UFC champion, disagreed with the judges' decision.
White stated that he disagreed with the judges. White stated that he didn't believe this should have been a third round. It happens, so what are you going to do about it?
"At least you have the chance to go out there and dig deep to try and make it to The Ultimate Fighter."
Cole was proud of the performance he showed after the fight, even though he lost.
On Twitter, he said: "Well... I didn't win the win but at least I'm an example for dadbods all over the world."
Although I didn't win the contest, at least I am a role model for dads all over the globe.

Cole was unable to punch due to a UCL-ulnar collateral ligament injury in his elbow.
He stated that he had told himself that he was going to let it all out, but with my injury and other factors I was limited in what I could do.
"But that's the way this game works."
