Are there any actual fight fans left on this forum?

[13 others]

Honesty I got into watching MMA because I love fighting. It's an activity as old as time. Combat sports have been around forever. To me nothing is more exciting than prize fighting.

Ive been watching MMA and all forms of combat sports since Tim Sylvia fought Monson. The reason I was watching then and the reason I am watching today is because I love seeing the the worlds best fighters fight each other. I don't give a shit about anything in between.

What the hell is up with todays modern fanbase rallying to have fights cancelled because of fighters weighing in .2 pouds over the limit?

You aren't a fucking fight fan. I agree rules are rules and if Whittaker, Thompson or Lamas etc didn't want to take a fight because of overweight opponents then that is their call and theirs only to make. But crying on the internet and insisting a fight be cancelled is outrageous. Who the fuck are you? Youre impressed when BJ Penn fights Machida but you're shaking from anxiety and outraged when Yoel is .2 pounds over.

How about instead of insisting a fight be cancelled you just dont watch? Go watch bowling.

Please stop being clowns, its clear the outrage culture is thriving in the MMA fan base. Real fans want to actually see fights. You think Royce Gracie is outraged with Yoel? MMAs modern fanbase are the worst ever, they're a big contributing factor to these last couple lackluster years in the MMA world.

It's done bro. They don't want to see true professionals and true warriors who don't need PEDs. They support PED using cowards (those exposed already and documented as cheaters).

Been watching since I rented UFC 1 form the local video store. I feel the same. I cringe every time someone posts something from Conor's Instagram.

Wait, who is "rallying" to have the fight canceled? One of the fighters didn't make weight, and that's against the rules. I wouldn't accept a fighter blasting the other in the nuts, either.

I'll gladly be a fake fan over making excuses for unprofessional fighters

 

[bubbleboyjones]

New fan checking in. Just registered last week. Watching bowling tomorrow.

 

[Sapphorous]

Do anybody make real shit anymore?

 

[BobsyaUncle]

This forum has always been dreadful at reacting to bad news. Emotions take over, fingers get a mind of their own and before you know it, we have a load of shit threads.

I'm just here for KOs. Not finishes, just brutal, life shortening, quiet on the mic, unconsciousness

 

[fiftywattmafia]

Yup right here. I like the memes, too.

 

[Frankie Baby!]

Me, I watch Justin Gaethje fights.

 

[NapalmX]

but I don't really like watching bowling

You sign a contract saying you'll make weight, and don't make weight?? Nobody should be defending this 41 year old man who has been fighting in this weight class for years.

You don't make weight, you don't fight for the title. Just like you don't pass a drug test, you don't fight (unless you're Brock). And if he didn't make weight, and this fight isn't for the title, and won't go towards any defense record, WHY should Whittaker accept?

Because Yoel couldn't put down the eyesh-creem with spreenkles?? Take that bs somewhere else.

I stopped at “Tim Sylvia” just to write this comment...

You do look like Tim Sylvia TS

Already saw Whittaker win this, Yoel is fucking up title fights left and right, AND the card is absolutely fine without it. Mostly only Yoel fans have a ton to gain from it. IDK about other people, but I'm not mad or upset that the fight is happening. I sure would have been okay with Robert turning it down.

You aren't a better fight fan for wanting a fight to go down at any cost.
