Any fighter you wouldn’t talk to?

I highly doubt I would bother any of them or any ‘celebrity’.
 
Yeah plenty, I d only think about talking to those I like
 
can we get a subtitled gif of Smokey "Afterparty" McAfro saying "i love you joe rogan!"?

This. But there are times and places where I feel a quick "hey I'm a huge fan just wanted to say thanks for putting your body through hell to entertain us over the years" is appropriate as long as you aren't one of the hacks wanting pictures/autographs/20 minutes of talk time.
 
Wouldn’t talk to Conor, he reminds me of those loudmouth attention seeking kids from school back in the day.

Might go down something like this…


"About two years ago, I went down to Orange County to visit a friend. We were at some healthy juice place, you know one of those places where Ed Hardy-wearing dudes and super health-conscious chicks hang out. As me and my buddy were in line to get one of his banana flavored protein powders, this huge-ass man comes in. He's wearing shades and a hat, so I couldn't really tell who it was. Suddenly the clerk stops ringing up the customer and everyone in the store (there were like eight of us) see what he's looking at. Right as I turn around I see Brock Lesnar talking with some smaller man about what's something that helps with digestion. He was in town for the UFC event against Cain Velasquez.

Anyway, my buddy being the idiot that he is walks up to Brock and I don't know what he says but Brock says something like, "sorry man I'm in my fight mode." My friend leaves it at that and heads back with his tail between his legs. These two douchebag-looking guys try to talk to him, and get the same response from Lesnar. Apparently they won't get over Brock slighting them, so they say loudly enough for Brock to hear them that they think Cain is going to kick his ass (which he did). Thinking they're funny they go on for a few seconds before Lesnar just walks right next to them and gives them the death stare. I swear the one talking must have shit in his pants, because he quickly shut up, backed away and almost ran out the store with his friend following him. We all look over at Lesnar who just smirks and goes back to doing his business. Lesson here, Brock Lesnar is massive and to all those douchebag bros in Orange County, watch who you mouth off to." -Tien

I love Lesnar... and there's no way in hell I would approach him in public.

Well if you paid me $100 I would, but it wouldn't be fun I imagine.
 
Any of those fudgepackers with Nazi paraphernalia tattooed on them, I wanna say they all fight in shit orgs and are shit fighters.
 
I know I wouldn't want to be famous. I wouldn't want people approaching me all the time wanting pictures and autographs. That said, I wouldn't stop anybody or take up their time. I wouldn't wanna be bothered so I wouldn't do it to anybody else.

I guess the short answer is that I wouldn't stop and talk to any of them. Maybe some of the ladies, but I'd pretend that I didn't know who they were and just act like I was hitting on them.
 
I don't even go out of my to talk to some of the pro's I train with or train.. they are just normal people imo. Maybe held to a higher standard by others, but to me, they are just people. No need to go out of my way to converse with them, as I don't do so with others in life either.
 
Personally I believe there is a point - probably when you become a regular main card fighter for the UFC - where you get approached in public often enough for it to be a nuisance. I believe most undercard fighters will be glad to talk to fans unless you're an asshole and disturb them in a private and/or inconvenient situation.

I met former world class football ref Pierluigi Collina at the airport once. He was my favorite ref for like a decade and I really admired his work, so there was just no chance I would let this chance for a quick selfie pass.
 
When I read the title, I thought this would be regarding people you wouldn't talk to because you're not sure how they would react or something.
