"Work" in his definition is the non-value-adding work that is drudgery and, perhaps, a waste of your time. The MSN interview is very funny - I saw that live, and although I'm a fan of Donny's show, why can't he just let Tim explain himself a bit more?

I don't follow mixed martial arts so had no clue he could be a fake. Thanks for sharing this. Very interesting Panu. I don’t follow mixed martial arts so had no clue he could be a fake.

So I am bit hesitant to believe or take seriously anything said by a guy who needs to make false claims in his resume. He claims to have beaten 4 MMA world champions, but no one has been able to access any records of him ever even fighting professionally. And, in Japan cage is used very rarely in MMA competition, traditional boxing ring is way more popular. To my knowledge only one organization uses cage in Japan and results of their events are readily available online.
