Fighters that dont like MMA?

[Ogata]

Are there any fighters in the UFC that are not fan of watching MMA/UFC?

What I mean is, they like to train and fight but have no interest following the sport or watch any fights or follow other fighters.

I remember Frank Shamrock was saying how he is a boxing fan and doesn't like MMA culture. He only likes the MMA training aspect. Though he said it at a time when he and Dana failed to work their differences and so, it could have been just a bitter remark.

Its time stamped but if you are on your phone, go to 1:52

I think Benson Henderson also said he didn't watch MMA.

 

[Jossaff]

Cerrone has stated multiple times that he doesn't watch fights

Ray Borg couldn't watch the fights this past weekend.

 

[Osiris007]

Pretty sure Rampage said he does not watch MMA

I bet most fighters aren't huge fans of the sport, it's tough to be THAT interested in fighting where it consumes your entire life lmao.

I've heard plenty of MMA media guys say that a majority of fighters are not really fans of the sport and only view it as a means to make money.

The cheaters, and douchebags. My estimate is about 3.5% ( point zero tree fiddy ) of the roster.

Many soccer players dont watch soccer, these are people that they do things, not spectators

Kind of on topic..

For me it's Uriah Hall. I really think his head got fucked up when he kicked that kids head clean off in TUF. He hasn't been the same fighter since and his is uber talented. Some of his fights he just doesn't use his talents and almost seems afraid to engage sometimes cuz he doesn't want to hurt his opponent. I wish he truly had that killer spirit in the octagon because outside of it he's truly one of the nicer guys in the UFC.

IIRC he said that he didn't watch fights in preparation for a fight, not that he doesn't watch MMA as a whole.
