Is it better to be an exciting fighter who loses, or a boring fighter who wins?

[Jeffery09]

Labelling the most exciting fighter on the UFC roster boring for only 1 fight is completely retarded.

Chimaev has 12 finishes from 15 fights and has only gone the distance in his entire career 3 times and these two other times they were an asbolute war and one of them probably will enter the UFC hall of fame

Winning is what matters. If you're fan of MMA you want to see who's the best, not who's the most "entertaining."

Entertainment pays the bills. UFC would be out of business if they had all the best technical fighters with zero entertainment value

Seeing who is best is the entertainment value.

On a karate forum, perhaps, but not the general fan base

Okay, well, fuck them. And if the sport can't exist without pandering to them, then fuck the sport.

Anyone who thinks Chimav is boring after years of watching UFC is fucking retarded

Max Holloway is the greatest entertainer the promotion has.

The crazy fucker goes out in a hail of bullets, win or lose. “If it’s blood they want, blood they shall have.”

Max is the gold standard.

Exciting fighter who loses (risks getting knocked out in every exchange due to flashy, aggressive style):
Jiri

Boring fighter who wins (maximize chance of winning a fight, even if boring techniques are used):
Khamzat


------------------


If you are an exciting fighter who loses too much, you risk getting cut from the UFC eventually.
If you are a boring fighter who keeps winning, people will skip your fights regardless.

What's better to be?

You mean is it better to have bangers like Chandler and lose but keep main eventing?

Or get cut for a boring fight like Buday? I'll let you decide.

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Khamzat the boring fighter who has 9 first round finishes in 15 fights lol.

 

[World eater]

This thread is embarrasing. Khamzat had one boring fight. This place is reaching rock bottom today.

 

[Strijfy]

LMAO GSP had 12 decision wins out of 26 fights. Oh but he threw superman punches. Gtfo. Khamzat is 10× the finisher GSP was

who gives a fuck about whether it was a decison or a knock out? Only a neck beards think that its some pinnacle.
As I said , GSP did not lay on someone and do fuck all, he was always going for it.
Another dumbarse who has never watched a GSP fight.
Off you trot

 

[D0GMeAT]

GSP never L&P like last night's fight. Go watch some GSP fights before mimicing other dumbarses on this forum

You are projecting your own bias. I never compared him to Khamzat.

After his KO loss to Serra - GSP fought in a much safer, but less "exciting" style. Many people criticized him as boring.

Additionally, you are assuming that I am not a GSP fan. I think he has the best overall MMA career of all time.

Go take a cold shower or something, dude.

 

[GrantB13]

Depends on the length of time for losses. Eventually losses get you cut regardless. For career longevity you need to win.

Before winning the title GSP was finishing everyone.

Having titles on the line can change things, just look at Khamzat.

 

[STAY GOLD]

Its not like Chimaev is boring, he isnt John Fitch...still undefeated, but he had 1 boring fight, in his biggest fight tho.

That’s what’s throwing me off. Khamzat has one rough fight and it makes folks forget when he was steamrolling and finishing folks with ease.

Max vs. Volk 1 was a boring calf kick fest

 

[flektarn]

exciting fighter who loses sometimes.

 

[VAfan]

depends on if you're asking the fighter or the fan.
