Cushing embraces MMA training

The throng of NFL players who spend their offseason training in Mixed Martial Arts continues to grow.

The guy at the center of it all is FOX’s Jay Glazer, who has helped more and more players get the most out of their abilities on the football field. Each year, the number of players who turn to this sport grows.

Glazer and UFC star Chuck Liddell worked out today with Texans linebacker Brian Cushing, the 2009 Associated Press defensive player of the year. Cushing, whose session lasted 90 minutes today, has been a regular since the season ended.

Here’s the point where I’d make some sort of a smartass remark regarding two grown men pushing and hugging and sweating on each other and then say “not that there’s anything wrong with that,” but I don’t need Liddell tracking me down and kicking my ass.

Or pushing and hugging and sweating on me.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
