There was something about Bendo's championship reign, that made me turn on him reeal quick.

Cant really put my finger on it. I thought it was the robberies but Lawler robbed some fools as well and i still like him so idk.

What about you? Is there a fighter you turned on? Why?
 
Aldo.
Quite a while back, way before Conor fight.
Used to love him, heard him talk a few times, rooted hard for KZ to beat him.
 
I love shogun, still do. But I really gave up on him after chael tapped him. I mean, I knew he'd never get back to the belt again but still, it was rough.
 
Dom.

TJ is the better version. Fuck the judges.
 
Jon Jones once he become a self-absorbed man child.
Conor McGregor once they put a mic and camera in front of him 24/7

I still respect the talent of these guys, I'm just sick of hearing them speak and would rather watch them fight.
 
Conor not defending his title

Anyone that misses weight, though I'll rarely hold it against them after the fight
 
I was a huge fan of Rampage and in some ways still am, but his constant whining rather than will to evolve his game so he won't be taken down so easily turned me against him.

Check a leg kick once in a while Quinton...
 
I'm a huge Diaz brothers fan but Nick's complaining after Condit (although somewhat justified), GSP & Anderson fights was tiring. Prefer Nate nowadays.
 
It's hard to like Salty Aldo at this point. I was starting to get fed up with the inactivity before his loss, but the way he handles himself now just rubs me the wrong way. He has been extremely childish and petty lately.

Ronda because of how she handled loss. Not a way to carry yourself when you have so many young aspiring fighters looking up to you.
 
Erick Silva for sure. Slowly turned on him fight after fight. Still think the kid has potential but he will never be a top 5 at least . His last fight made me turn on him for good.
 
Aldo, Anderson and Nicks little brother.
 
Jonathan Jones.


Dom.

TJ is the better version. Fuck the judges.

I thought Conor was funny and interesting. Then he got a lot more loud and arrogant and of course his fans didn't help any.

True story
 
BJ penn. All the talent to be goat just lazy af.
 
I'll answer in reverse but I'll give some context to my answer as well.

I've noticed usually in the weigh ins and when they walk up to the octagon before a fight that when fighters take off their clothes, they just throw em onto the floor for someone else to pick up.

I never really use to cheer for Lawler in any of his fights but changed my mind when he was walking to the octagon at 195.

Instead of leaving his clothes on the floor, Lawler picked them up himself and gave it to his trainer. I know its a really small gesture but I feel that it says alot about a person to be honest. It might have just been a once off thing for Lawler, I'm not sure......
 
Hendricks popularity seems to have done a 180 since the days of sending Kampmann across the cage.
