Jimmie Rivera post-fight interview

[Sapp]

Takes it pretty gracefully.
Very good attitude.

 

[Mr hanky]

classy guy, like to listen an honest interview instead of Johnny Hendrick's book of excuses.

 

[Substance Abuse]

I've always liked Jimmie. He's a good fighter.

Props to Jimmie for taking it like a man he’ll be back.

Jimmie is the man, hope this doesn't knock him down too far. Maybe he gets Assuncao next?

Edit: just realized Assuncao is fighting Rob Font. Not an easy fight by any means, Font is my boy. But how exactly is Assuncao keeping his spot fighting these lower ranked guys?

Either way this threads about Jimmie. Maybe he draws Dom? They where originally scheduled to fight, and it would be good for both of them. Jimmie still gets a top guy and Dom gets someone who doesn't have all the momentum.

Isnt he the guy that constantly pokes people in the eyes? Like worse than Jon Jones?

for someone that didnt walked out with an american flag he sounds pretty american... I am wondering what part of PR did he grow up in ? oh wait he grew up in NYC.... maybe he should walk out with a NYC flag or at least usa flag..... maybe daniel comier should walk out with a louisiana flag next time he fights to make himself seem more unique (and yes i know PR is part of usa, so why fly a state/ territory flag when no one else does? racist)

loved seeing jimmy get ko'd by a brazilian that has nationalistic pride and flew his countries flag

Nationalism is for fools.

 

[Captain Tight]

Globalism is for fools.

Fixed.

 

[Omega Man]

Great attitude. Very refreshing.

No, but he got poked by the habitual eye poker Faber when they fought.

 

[Gio]

Frankie Edgar-esque post fight interview. This is the stuff you hear similarly to Frankie whenever he lost. Accept, brush it off and get back to training again. Very professional

 

[L.T.]

I used to like Rivera until he referred to himself in the 3rd person 3 times on MMA hour. Glad he got his face knocked off. The way he treats the UFC it's the back of the line for that guy.

 

[IrritatedTomcat]

No, but he got poked by the habitual eye poker Faber when they fought.

Yeah I think he's merging this in his mind

 

[Schoolboy Q]

Not as good as people thought, dude is a point fighter.

 

[beefcake180]

Don't understand the weird hatred some people are throwing around now that he lost.

People bring up that he goes the distance but ignore that he drops his opponents in most of his fights too. Dude is an entertaining fighter.

Jimmie will definitely be back.
