Fighters who should get more respect

[Pizza Werewolf]

CM Punk is somebody who deserves more respect. He was a 37 years old man with no martial arts-experience, that decided to have a go at it. UFC deserves a ton of crap for promoting his fights, but I have no beef with a man, who just wants to try this out for himself, gives it his best and ends up sucking.

UFC messed up here. CM Punk did nothing that warrants the disrespectful attitude.

He was gifted a UFC contract and He got paid half a million per fight, for his first two fights, which I'm sure many think is ridiculous and undeserving especially after his performances. The only thing the guy had going for him was name recognition from WWE.
If he got paid closer to what most newcomers in the UFC got and was in any way competitive I'd have more respect for him.
I can't blame the guy for taking the paycheck though.

Not a fighter but no doubt Guru Josh Fabia is the GOAT MMA mind.

Women. There is still a sizeable minority, that is consistently disrespectful to female fighters.

Agreed

Keyboard warriors need to dial it back

Jan Blachowitz
Gilbert Burns
Andrei Arlovski (Just needs 1 more win for Title Shot)
Deiveson Figuiredo

But the lower division guys under LW don't get too much respect here because apparently smaller guys fighting don't generate as much excitement as bigger guys fighting...

Arlovski is bad

He's at least 4 wins away from a title shot
