How do you feel about crying in MMA?

I have to admit I am fine with it because I cried many times after I lost a fight online on UFC Undisputed 3 .. because I was on like a 12 fight win streak with my CAF, which had a sumo base and a kung fu stance, so no one could take me down.. but then when I played @Mammothman I got choked out and I was upset, not gonna lie the tears flowed... and flowed.


(uninstalled the game for a while, but came back to it)

Don't worry @HI SCOTT NEWMAN I will teach you the skills to create a CAF GOAT and we will go into a can crushing tour.

They say there's no crying in baseball but there's definitely crying in MMA. From the athletes, to the media, to the fans... We shed tears and weep being apart of this crazy sport. It's almost ironic in a sense. I watch MMA because I want to prove to others I'm more masculine than them. It's a brutal sport so the juxtaposition of two individuals fighting to a person weeping is fascinating to me.

Fighters cry due to the happiness of victory, the demoralization of defeat, I cry because of what my life has become (that's another story) but there are numerous reasons why MMA causes crying. Here are some memorable crying moments.

Ariel Helwani - This might be my favorite crying moment of all-time. Ariel Helwani threw a pity party for himself and literally cried on his show for an hour because Dana White got mad at him for leaking Brock Lesnar's return. Come on Ariel, your kids are gonna see that. This moment is hard to forget since Ariel acts like a pro-wrestler on his show and refers to himself as "Heel-wani” now.

Jon Jones - He might be the GOAT fighter but he isn't immune to the tears. He cried at a press conference after he was pulled from the rematch with DC due to being busted for PED's. No other fighter has had to endure what Jones has outside of the cage. Some of it was his fault but some of it was due to different circumstances and timing.

Joe Rogan - On one of his podcasts, Rogan cried talking about Ronda Rousey and how amazing he thought she was. Man was in full white knight mode and hyping Ronda up. He was also the main culprit in getting people to believe Rousey would beat Floyd Mayweather in a fight.

Daniel Cormier - Who could forget DC crying after getting head kicked in oblivion by Jon Jones. I actually felt extremely bad for DC. He was concussed, suffering from the worst defeat of his career, got yelled at by Dana, then had Rogan shove a microphone in his face. This may have been the moment they stopped interviewing KO'd fighters.

Andy Wang - Saddest TUF moment for me. Man was crying tears from the heart but was mocked by BJ Penn. Andy Wang... That guy's a warrior.

Jose Aldo - He has shed tears due to happiness and sadness in the cage. Seeing him cry after losing to McGregor was rough but seeing him cry due to happiness after beating Jeremy Stephans is a great MMA feel good moment.

My fellow Sherbros. Crying is natural and we should embrace it. What are your thoughts on crying in MMA, lets hear some of your favorites...

It takes a big man to cry, but, it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man who is crying.

:14 I imagine thats how all these fighters sound when they cry.

I fully understand why fighters, coaches, their families and teams, might shed tears of joy or despair after a fight...

That said, as a fan, whether it be MMA or another sport, have never been anywhere close to brought to tears.

I would be absolutely devastated if I lost badly after months of hard work and mental preparation. Mma is savage and these fighters put so much work and sacrifice…no shame at all if you are a fighter and you cry because you failed.
