Why are Sherdoggers so obsessed with being "popular"?

This is cagefighting. We shouldn't care about popularity. This is underground. It should be.

Because the new breed of MMA fans care more about how much money and followers you have. Blame Conor, he knew his fans were gullible enough to parrot everything he says.

Who would have thought the "boring wrestler" would become a global superstar?

Khabib should be on the Wheatie’s box.

 

[dragonsfly]

Dominated by Khabib and Nate Diaz as expected the funny thing is that they are the only two guys who have a legit recorded street fight or to be more precisely group fight. crazy and otherwordly stuff

Sherdoggers killed UFC. They started hating on the two single most popular/best fighters (Conor and Ronda). And they started loving exactly no one.

It's a sickness that spreads amongst humans; hating what's great in order to feel better.

Are those two statements supposed to contradict each other? They don't.

yes, you want us to appreciate what you called greatness (popularity), and this's exactly what this thread about

 

[TheJohnnyWalkerEra]

Wanna see crazy Khabib numbers. Look back an extra year and see the incredible spike when he fought Conrad

I appreciate great fighters. Some of them inevitably become popular, and then they start getting hated on for no other reason than being popular. I don't like that. That's what the second quote is about.

I don't get the obsession with popularity. That's the first quote.

They aren't contradictionary.

people don't dislike them because they're popular lol wtf, they dislike conor and ronda because they're pricks.

Topic is misleading, these are not most popular UFC fighters in the past 90 days, these are Khabib/Diaz/Jones/DC/Holloway/McChicken popularity/trending ranks only.
Wouldn't be surprised if part of it actually matches the list overall, but I'm quite sure there are a bunch of names that would have popped around.

GSP would be at Canada's number 1-5 standings for sure, we cling on him like it was our only chance.

Google Trends in 2019 ...

So Lomachenko, a midget with 0 english (he improved his english) and ZERO trash talk is as popular as the your #2 guy?

Acoording to Google searches, the NFL is more popular than UFC & Khabib combined, so this means: Tom Brady is morep popular than Khabib.

Lets be real: Im not even a Conor fan, but Conor was/is the only "global" Superstar.

Conor >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Khabib >>>>> rest

Number 2-5 are unnecessary because they are not popular.

We only care about likes dawg.
And you do too which is why you beautifully formatted your post for more readability. I peeped game.

Jk, I agree.

 

[Ares Black]

My takeaway from this thread is that Diaz vs Nurmagomedov is the fight to make.

Am I doing it right?

I'd be the first one to hate him, but he's actually pushing for finishes, that's the only thing I expect from a wrestler, no need to finish, just try finishing fights ffs.

He had his tides of boring wrestlerness, still, look at WW: Usman, Colby, Woodley... Feels like they've prohibited people hitting each other there.
