Sheesh, the Dana huggers are out in full force
Listen, when you just get done not only promoting the guy as one of the best ever and ripping on people for believing (which was true) that he had some marketability issues because his insane skill inside the cage would be enough for "real" fight fan and pushing him as the p4p best, it's a little funny when the next thing that happens is an 8 to 1 underdog thoroughly whips him for 4.5 half rounds and then finishes him.
To quote one of only two good movies by Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore
"Talk about your all-time back-fires!"
Yes he had a job to do and yes most people didn't see this coming either. It still is funny. And had one of us been out there pushing the same hype because it is our job it still would have been funny. Although most people probably be smarter than to pretend there are not marketability issues and rip on anybody that wasn't nuts for Barao. But still, it's funny. Lighten up. And THEN, claims he wasn't surprised by it! Wasn't surprised an 8 to 1 underdog not only beat but destroyed his p4p best?! Come on. That's just pure idiocy due to pride. TJ and his camp were probably the only people that thought it was possible and I doubt even some of them thought to this degree.
