HILARIOUS! WATCH: UFC Fighter Offers Sound Advice After Victory

let me start by saying that I am a huge fan of Ludwig Von Mises.

The Austrian economist’s findings and views are a pillar of free market systems and anti-socialist philosophy.

And that just makes these recent post-victory comments made by UFC fighter Renato Moicano all the funnier.

After his victory, the lightweight division UFC fighter implored the audience: “If you care about your country, read Ludwig Von Mises’ 6 lessons of the Austrian Economic School motherph*ckers.”

I couldn’t help but crack up! Moicano is spot on here, but telling the audience to go read up on economic theory right after a UFC fight is hilarious.

But it also begs the question, is there ever a wrong time to talk about sound economics and human liberty?

Watch Renato Moicano’s hilarious and sage advice to the American people below:

Zero Hedge provided a brief synopsis for the Mises book Moicano was referencing:

By “six lessons of the Austrian economic school,” Moicano was referring to a concise, 106-page Ludwig von Mises book, “Economic Policy: Thoughts for Today and Tomorrow.”

Among the best-selling Mises works, it’s broken into six sections: Capitalism, Socialism, Interventionism, Inflation, Foreign Investment, and Policies and Ideas.

I wasn’t the only one who took notice of Moicano’s remarks at UFC, take a look at these reactions from social media:

The Mises Institute had this to say about the legendary and foundational economist:

One of the most notable economists and social philosophers of the twentieth century, Ludwig von Mises, in the course of a long and highly productive life, developed an integrated, deduct­ive science of economics based on the fundamental axiom that in­dividual human beings act purposively to achieve desired goals.

Even though his economic analysis itself was “value-free” — in the sense of being irrelevant to values held by economists — Mises concluded that the only viable economic policy for the human race was a policy of unrestricted laissez-faire, of free markets and the unhampered exercise of the right of private property, with government strictly limited to the defense of person and property within its territorial area.

For Mises was able to demonstrate (a) that the expansion of free markets, the division of labor, and private capital investment is the only possible path to the prosperity and flourishing of the human race.

(B) That socialism would be disastrous for a modern economy because the absence of private ownership of land and capital goods prevents any sort of rational pricing, or estimate of costs, and (C) that government intervention, in addition to hampering and crippling the market, would prove counter-productive and cumulative, leading inevitably to socialism unless the entire tissue of interventions was repealed.
