RIP but his main reputation was for being a world class prick who had a chip on his shoulder the size of Texas. He was famous for getting in fist fights and had possibly the worst "little man complex" since Napoleon. He was pretty tough for his size but he had to tell everyone in interviews what a tough guy he was, it was very strange. Very odd human being.

Robert Conrad being a small guy in Hollywood and compared to the leading men of his era (Wayne, Eastwood, ect) probably did have a complex, and for good reason. This was the 70's pre MMA, and everyone just assumed the little guy would always lose to the big guy. Well before the realities of even the first UFC.
