Relax bro, think about it in the sense of him being a product in a way. It's fine for you to love watching his fights and the entertainment product you receive from that. Doesn't mean you want to marry the guy or think of him like your family member. It's the same way people say they love the UFC or a show or a restaurant etc.
I love music, I like mma. There are levels to that as well.
 
Poatan is the greatest thing to happen to the UFC in a while in my opinion. He filled the Khabib void for me. CHAMA.
Out of curiosity, what was the void?

We've seen Pereira lose and look beatable several times.
We've seen Pereira compete on a far more consistent basis. After his fight tonight he'll be 2 fights away from matching Khabib's total UFC fights in half the time.
Don't get me wrong, I respect both, I'm just genuinely curious.

I'm guessing he means that he was a fan of Khabib and felt empty when he retired but now he has Poatan. Nothing about styles or anything like that.

Ont: Neither hate nor love. I am however very happy for all the success he's had knowing where he came from and it's great to see the MMA community give him so much love too.

The baddest motherfucker in the fight game. A dude with a generational specialty (his kickboxing vs Khabib’s wrestling), engaging personality (savage but funny AF) etc.
 
I think he's pretty much the most beloved fighter on Sherdog.

But let's see what the numbers reflect.

Not surprised to see the numbers, It’s incredibly difficult to dislike him. I thought poirier is more beloved amongst sherdoggers, but maybe I’m wrong
 
Not sure how anyone can dislike the guy or be indifferent?

Like, explain your MMA fandom if you are indifferent to Alex as a fighter?

The guy fights all the time. He knocks people out. He's entertaining. He's respectful to other fighters.

I think he's a little too good at marketing himself like most of the successful MMA guys now. I guess that's more of a complaint about the state of MMA than him, though. He got a really protected run to the title, too. Maybe even more protected than Sean O'Malley.
 
Somewhere between Love and Like. Very exciting fighter and he confuses me as a part of me still kind of think he is so one dimensional that his spot in history is confusing. But tonight would be a big win over a well rounded fighter.
 
Hating Poatan should be a bannable offence. It just doesn't even make sense.
