MMA/Kickboxing as an Extracurricular in the Recruitment Process for IB/PE/HF

What's up guys, just curious as to what the general image of MMA/Kickboxing is within the finance industry. Is it seen as an interesting/memorable extracurricular that adds more dimension to an applicant in the recruitment process (and maybe shows discipline/competitiveness), or does it make the applicant seem like a violent brute?

Thanks,

Pat
