Ever try to recruit friends to MMA, only to have the fights disappoint?

Fellow sherbros, have you ever tried to recruit non-MMA fans into this crazy sport. I myself, like fellow sherdoggers, am a virgin living in my mother’s basement. I pray to the Just Bleed God, and believe fighters live rent free in each others heads. I am a loser but am self-aware enough to not tell others I am a MMA fan to avoid public shaming but there was a time I tried to convert people into MMA fans.

One particular fight I remember was Nick Diaz vs Carlos Condit. I really wish people could understand the buzz going into the Condit-Diaz fight. Fans legitimately thought it was going to be MMA’s version of Gatti-Ward or Hagler-Hearns. A lot of people were looking forward to that fight and telling non-MMA fans to tune it, that was the talk on Sherdog pre-fight. I told so many people to tune in because it was going to be all out action.

When the fights was over, I was in disbelief. I felt more ashamed than I usually do. That was the last time I tried to bring fans to the sport. I usually don’t even tell people I’m an MMA fan anymore.

Yup, it was ngannou vs lewis

I got a friend of mine to come to UFC 234 for Whittaker v Gastelum, pretty disappointing to have that fight cancelled on the morning of, he ended up coming to Whittaker v Adesanya as well though ha ha

My friends and I use to all get together to watch fight nights and TUF back in the day, starting around TUF 2 or 3 and we would watch all the prelims for the PPV's and pre drink and go to the bar to watch main cards. Of all my friends I'm the only one left that still watches the UFC, most of my friends stopped watching around the time Anderson Silva's run ended and GSP retired sometime in 2013. No one here really gives a fuck anymore if you ask a bar to put on the UFC fights they act like you're speaking a different language.
