Default Someone claiming to be something they aren't

Purely hypothetical but I'd be interested to know what others think.

Imagine a person claimed to be say 'king of the cage fighters' because they falsely believe it somehow intimidates rather than amuses other people.

Imagine then that they were asked to simply provide a few details about what they do and where they do it, not asking for names per se but you'd imagine that a rough 'n' tough cage fighter wouldn't give a flying **** about telling such things.

Then imagine that they refuse to give such details would you conclude that they are probably just some kind of sad weasly little liar or do you think they are probably telling the truth?

All purely hypothetical of course................

There's an easy answer to this one: punch this person in the face.

If they take the hit, they're probably not a cagefighter at all.

If, however, you find yourself on the ground 10 seconds later trying to count how many teeth you've lost, chances are that they are.

Either way, whoever gets hurt will have richly deserved it.
