I don't love or hate any fighter. I'm indifferent

Likewise. It's called growing up. If you have your favorites, you're likely stuck in teenage years. It's like voting for your "favorite" politician or some shit... Why'd I dickride any man lol?

I agree with your point but it is an uncommon mentality even for adults. Have you ever been to a professional sporting event during the playoffs? It's absurd.

I really cannot understand the passionate hate or love towards fighters. Am I weird? Most of the time I'm indifferent. At the best I'll avoid interviews of a fighter that I think will say nothing interesting or will look for interview of a fighter who I know says interesting/valuable stuff consistently (very rare). 99% percent of the cases I make excuses for guys for being jerks towards one another, or being cringe or being boring inside the cage or whatever. Even if there is no apparent reason I try to defend them (in my mind) and not judge them and hate them. So and so is boring - well I'm sure he has reasons and also I can skip his/her fights if I want. So and so make a fool of himself at press conference - he made a show for clicks and to hype up the fight. I don't root against ex convicts, people with felonies, fighters close to dictators, or just malicious people. I don't care what kind of quality of people they are. For some reason I can't hate a fighter. They aren't real people to me. They are like videogame characters, like it's imaginary.

Same with loving a fighter. No matter how humble, hard working, family man etc... or genius IQ inside the cage and/or amazing wars they bring, I'm just indifferent. Don't get me wrong, I respect all of the above, but I was never a passionate fan or loving any fighter from any era. Could you say I'm a casual? Perhaps. But I'm following the sport. (The last year not so much but I'm still tuning in for the bigger cards...)

Bottom line is I'm just curious to know how a man can really hate some fighter a thousand miles away who he never interact with in person and don't really know. Or how can you love them, (not respect, but love). You don't know the guy, I mean really know him. You know the bit that is public that's it.

I don't know. That was a rant, so whatever. Mods, delete this if you think it's appropriate

tl;dr, but you should hate Conor no matter what.

But a word of caution, it's a lot easier to burn out as spectator when it's all just dancing pixels, because sooner rather than later it's likely to feel interchangeable and indistinguishable when you have no rope of a personal interest to hold on to.

100% true

In this instance I would actually "dickride" somebody in the middle. But people hate fence sitters and they don't get votes. What if neighter party has "the truth", what if the best policy is little bit of both?
 
I dislike arrogant fighters, fighters who show no respect for another fighter, after their fight is over, and all fighters who support Donald Trump. That = Colby Covington! Can't stand the guy, and sure wouldn't want to meet him! LOL
 
Nah, it's not weird. As long as you enjoy the sport it sounds pretty healthy actually.

I've definitely been passionate about hating or being worried about certain fighters to the point where it was seriously fucking with my head. I still get excited or bummed out by results sometimes but not to that extreme degree anymore and I'm glad.
 
Most people don’t even know the meaning of the words love and hate so they mistake them for like and dislike.
 
I used to be into the idol worship as well as hate for fighters. As I grew older and the fighters I grew up watching started to retire, so did my emotional involvement.

I Hardly care in that way now, it's usually just May the best man win now.
 
For the most part I'm indifferent to.

Sure there some guys I like watching more so than others. But at the end of the day I don't really care and I'm watching regardless.

This is probably a healthier way to live...
My MMA fandom has probably taken more years off my life than my actual MMA training has! 🤣🤣🤣
You'll never have your heart broken, but you'll also never get to feel the high of the fighter you love beating a fighter you absolutely hate.
Shogun beating Overeem, Nog and Fedor beating Tim Sylvia, Khabib beating Conor... Those moments can never be replaced.
