Have you ever stopped being a fan of a fighter because of how poorly they performed in 1 fight?

Disappointed, yes but they need multiple bad performances for me to stop caring
 
I've stabbed some fighters in the back but it was never over one performance.
 
Thats not what a fan is.

You cant only be in it for the good times.

When a fighter loses and all the people who show support for them on their social media "dont worry man we still love you!" or "youll be back dont be too down!"

THOSE are fans.
 
Usually not. Unless they cope about the loss for months like Jamahal Hill. I used to be a big fan of that guy but he keeps digging his hole deeper and deeper. But I guess that doesn't answer the OP's question. I wouldn't not be a fan of a dude just because he lost or got clipped or just looked off on a night. That's casual shit.

it's like stock options. you can choose to buy when low and sell when high

or in this case, invest as a fan when their stock is high, and then switch when they fall off

Traitors are of little value.
 
It's not just about performance; we can't always know what injuries these athletes are dealing with going into fights. For me, it's about the preparation. Missing weight by a large margin is unacceptable. Once is forgivable, but multiple times, like Kelvin Gastelum, and I'm not ever rooting for you. It's incredibly disrespectful to your opponent and gives you an unfair advantage. The penalty should be bumped to 50%.
 
Fuck no. If I care about/respect/enjoy a fighter enough to ride with them, it's until the end of time. Barring being a :eek::eek::eek::eek: or some Joe Son shit.

I expect Jiri to get back to fucking people up, Alex is just a terrible matchup for his style. We'd have probably seen it earlier, if Jiri vs Crocop hadn't fallen through in RIZIN.
 
Carlos Condit after Nick Diaz and I’m being serious and I recognize this is not fair and Condit was a legit killer. Except this one time.

what about tony ferguson? everyone was a fan of him when he was THE ONE to defeat Khabib.
nowadays, people just meme on him and call him a joke after 7 loss streak

where did those fans go?
 
almost. jack della maddalena against bassil hafez really tempted me. what an awful performance that was. he's since redeemed himself so it's fine but i was not happy.

I still maintain people were way too hard about this. To me, it very clearly wasn't him just being safe. He would make sure he was up on points, sure, but then when he was ahead enough, he did try for his spinning attacks and jumping attacks and such, to the point where it became a joke in the post fight. The problem was, they never paid off, and Diaz being as good as he was, did punish Condit and regain some ground on points, so Carlos had to rinse and repeat.

Carlos was the one who actually tried to win that fight at any point, and it's amazing how blameless the flat-footed, no circling, same pace, never change their style Diaz goes for his role in the fight.

Yes, Eddie Alvarez.
