thats my only issue, and yes i do really see posers at the bars who airbox w/ their friends, and yes i have gone up to them and ask where they train and find out they dont.
What exactly is 'trying to look tough'? I know plenty of douchebags at bars that pick fights and DON'T wear mma gear.

I think the problem is more with douchebags in general rather than people wearing mma clothes.

Another tip: training bjj 2 nights a week doesn't make you tough. Sure its pretty effective in competition fights where there are rules and weight classes. But in your bar fight scenario it would be pretty useless.
