Then he does it, loses, badly frankly, not just in front of others but the entire internet and holds his head high and tells his story and gets the girl.

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.

Awesome vid bud, it's not always about winning, it's about persevering. With your timeline and goals you really did win, it wasn't about your opponent, it was about you and you persevered. Amazing weight loss, amazing transformation and in the future, an amazing win, cheers

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. But the initial reactions build a better story.

It's awesome to see your friends be way more supportive now, in the first video they looked really mean about it, you were taking a huge risk and undertaking and they didn't seem to have that belief that total strangers had. Maybe take a year to learn the grappling, your striking looked quite clean! Awesome effort, I never watch Buzzfeed but these videos were great!

I mean the fact that you did all of that while doing your buzzfeed work took some of your lifetime for one minute in the ring is incredible. 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.

The feeling you get when you've worked hard for a match and then win is amazing. I was in Judo for 12 years, i am a big dude and most of my fights were were against bigger dudes. At first, i was tossed around and manhandled. Then, i started weight training and after 2 years of learning how to move against larger opponents with the strength i was gaining, i began to win. That feeling brought me to tears

I do competative judo, and it really takes alot out of you physically, and even more so, metally, to train and prepare for competitions, especially some of the bigger ones which can be hella nerve wracking. 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!
