Most hated fighters by fighters

He got kicked out of American Top Team, couldn't find another reputable gym to train at, his coaches wouldn't show up to corner him, and the only person willing to take money to appear with him and corner him was Chael Sonnen.

That reminds me, doesn't Ian (Machado) Garry have the same kind of problem with gyms kicking him out? I wonder what his relationships with other fighters are like [insert cuck joke here]. The same was said of Joaquin Buckley — but it was James Krause who was saying that, so maybe it should be taken with a sprinkle of salt.
 
conor has to be #1. i've heard repeatedly by fighters: "he's no longer one of us" etc... sure everyone respects what he did for the sport, but he's bad mouthed everyone, pissed off a lot of fighters, and of course people are jealous of his $. add in the out of the ring criminal stuff an the fact that he's a total douchebag, he's gotta be the #1 most hated amongst fighters.... colby might be 2nd, but i think most people know he's playing the heel.
Most people do NOT know that. In fact everyone that knows his non-heel (ie: real) persona are the ones that hate him the most. He wasn't playing "heel" when he didn't pay his coaches, cause drama inside his gym, shit on everyone who gave him lodging and supported him, etc etc etc.

Sometimes people are scumbags. It isn't "heel"

I was going to say Garry. He likes to bring his wife and other guests to his gym sessions and film everything for socials. A lot of fighters frown upon this and apparently he had a habit of doing this without prior consent of training partners.

This whole „for the sport“ myth needs to die. Who still believes that 2024 UFC is better than 2014 UFC? More money and mainstream is always bad for a niche, it waters down. It‘s a universal law. For some reason corporate cucks and UFC shills think MMA would be different?
 
Someone posted that Colby is disliked by almost every other fighter, which I agree. We know folks like Lawler, Holloway and Volk are liked and respected by other fighters but who do you think are disliked in the circle?
Colby is definitely one. Lots of other fighters crap on him.
Strickland too maybe.
As disliked Jon is by fans, I don't think a lot of fighters hate him. Lots of them see him as the goat and he doesn't get crapped on as much as Colby does.
Brock and CM Punk for obvious reasons, I guess.
Who you got?
Colby is disliked, because he's super nice and respectful, until a camera appears or he's filming a skit and it's tiring.
 
Well there's two reasons why fighters hate fighters:

1. They talk shit about their culture/country/family/etc
2. They're dicks in training

For reason one the most obvious examples are Colby and Chael, maybe guys like Dom and Conor too for getting under peoples skin.

For reason two the only examples I've heard of are Lombard, Strickland and Wanderlei for basically trying to murder people in the gym and TJ snakey for the betrayal
 
I wasn't around during those days but I heard Josh Koscheck was very hated, with Paul Daley even losing his career punching him way after the bell
 
You're one of my faves! <Oku04> <{1-7}>
thx fam u too mi memba yuh was mi 1st like pon di forum mad welcomin' so u a real one too good work broski 💯🥇💪🏽
 
I can't imagine having to train with Dominic Cruz, I feel like he would always be trying to one-up and be pedantic to a point of being absolutely insufferable.
