Friendly Voices - Daniel Puder

"Anybody that's getting bullied in the whole U.S. can shoot me an email at dp@knockoutsgym.com. You email me, I'll go fly to your school ... and we'll go talk to the bullies for you."

Former WWE entertainer, current Mixed Martial Arts fighter, and hot straight guy Daniel Puder made the statement above to TMZ a couple days ago. And ever since, his email inbox has been blowing up with messages from kids being bullied. This is both encouraging and sad at the same time.

Can you imagine having Mr. Puder come "talk" to the guys who are harassing you in 5th Grade everyday?? Awesome...

Jiujitsu Dave was born in Brazil, raised in NYC, and now lives in Miami.  I'm assuming Dave is an MMA fighter, but that information isn't included on his modeling profile.  Anyone know his real name?
