"fighting" on resumes and in interviews

i fight because i know everyone has an inner-Bateman. i love doing mixed martial arts, jiu jitsu, wrestling, striking, etc. wall street is still a fairly testosterone driven place and i know a couple of senior bankers that practice jiu jitsu as well; however, is "fighting" too much of a taboo thing to talk about on your resume (under interests) and in interviews?

serious question, so serious answers only please. thanks all.

It is a sport - put it under interests if you want.

Don't put "fighting".. you don't want to look like a UFC bandwagon rider. Put down whatever you train in, whether it be jiu-jitsu, wrestling, sambo, etc..

I have had success in both MMA and Wrestling. I put it under ECs...and it gets alot of looks. It gives you something unique to talk about in interviews.
