A UFC veteran is questioning a popular online doctor's advice. After Dr. CJ Frandrup posted a video rating leg exercise recommendations, the former middleweight couldn't help but leave a comment.

Dr. Frandrup, who specializes in pain management, hormone therapy & medical weight loss, took to Instagram on February 7 to give his expert advice prioritizing one element: joint health.

"The best leg exercises are the ones that help stabilize the knee and promote healthy joints," Frandrup wrote in the caption. However, Hall didn't find the advice useful.

"Brotha, do you work out 😂?" Hall commented on the post. While he didn't elaborate on exactly what he disagreed with, it was clear that the retired MMA icon didn't find Frandrup's recommendations optimal.

Hall wasn't the only one who didn't agree with Dr. Frandrup's. Fitness enthusiasts left comments like, "This post is 5 out of 10."

So, how does a UFC fighter train their legs?

While Hall didn't explain, professional strength & conditioning coach James de Lacey and the UFC PI's Gavin Pratt discussed how fighters train their legs.

Lacy wrote about what a typical workout for an elite mixed martial artist would look like, and three key areas, but none related ot joint health.
