Is anyone else depressed???

[doggo]

Yes this sucks. A lot

 

[Ares Black]

You mean moreso than usual?

 

[SamuraiBro]

More upset seeing Bobby tap like that, was so anticlimactic

 

[Bork Neslar]

He was never that good. He should retire.

Am I doing it right, you fat autistic nerds?

 

[LeBron]

Agreed.. Max was that guy, I’m shocked.

 

[ExitLUPin]

Yes most I've been in a while. Max and Rob are in my top 5 favorite active fighters. I had a gut feeling Rob would get finished early but I really thought Max could do it..

 

[DrawK]

I lived through Shoguns decline. I'll be ok.

 

[CatchtheseHands]

Nah, I had a feeling this would happen.

 

[Warehouse]

I'm only depressed I wasn't there to witness it in person

 

[OldFashion]

Nah I don't get depressed over this shit no more, I used to back in the day when I was younger and far more invested but after seeing your favorites go down time and time again eventually you just kinda get used to it and realize it's inevitable.

It sucks sure, love Max and Rob but their time has passed.

I think this is how it's going to be for me from now on. Max was the last guy still around at the highest level that I was this invested in. This one hurt. Don't think there'll be another fighter that I'm gonna love as much

 

[bng]

I feel GREAT!
Awesome finishes, and no one died!
Can't ask for more.

[Negrat]

It was just a lucky win, he only needs a rematch to prove it.

 

[RockyLockridge]

no im always happy to see Whittaker lose.

However, max i didn't want to see him lose, but he had to tonight. im glad he got to secure another title fight in his storied legacy but even statistically he had zero chance tonight. he earned this moment

 

[BowserJr]

It's official we are in a new era of MMA

Within a year all the guys that people called GOATS will be known as weak by newer fans who will hail the new top 3-5 as the GOATs

 

[sdpdude9]

Nah, it’s just the nature of the game and we’re entering a new era.

 

[Kevster]

Nah, Holloway & Whittaker had good years, time for the next, exciting guys too.

 

[Odoylerules22]

Toperia right now is better than max has ever been. It happens

 

[HolmeZy55]

I think this is how it's going to be for me from now on. Max was the last guy still around at the highest level that I was this invested in. This one hurt. Don't think there'll be another fighter that I'm gonna love as much

I have been into combat sports for like two decades, so many favorites over that time have come and gone. You will definitely still get attached to fighters but it will never be the same and yeah after a while you just kinda accept the way things are and that eventually your favorite will go down and most likely hard.

 

[TRUS8888]

The prophecy, or should I say the nightmare, was fulfilled..

Rob submitted.. Max knocked out.

I'm slightly more depressed about Rob because it feels like he could've won if he had just survived that first round, but credit to Khamzat for not allowing that to happen.

Max is indeed a fan favorite but I actually like Topuria and he showed that he truly deserves to win. No shame in acknowledging the next generation of champion.

 

[Carrotman23]

No.

I like Max but the level had been raised.

Exactly, stop being pussies.

Real fight fans love to see this kind of shit ...

Except I'm one to talk because I legit hated seeing Wieli lose to Rose after the crowd boo'ed her and Whittaker lose in the first Adesanya fight so i get it at the same time
