Real reason why people hate topuria

[Rapa]

Why theres so much hate towards topuria? Dude always says he respects other fighter but he is just better than them and this is reason why people hate him? I dont get it. He should say he will lose or he is not best?
Even against volk he told him he respects him hes just fighting for his dreams
Why mma fans became toxic pussyboys?

People can hate and will hate on anything.

Doesn't matter who you are - the nicest person or the worst - GSP and Conor both have people that love/hate them.

Only thing that matters in combat sports is performance and victories.

Feelings are irrelevant.

it’s that face he makes. people like watching him fight, but when he makes that face they just wanna watch him die.

I like him but ppl talk shit about him because he talks a lot of shit himself.

Like what? When he says he is best ? Or he will beat his next oponent? He never talks about person or his family he never talks outside of sport

It's true, it's that smile he always does

 

[Subline]

Because he's fighting fan favorites

I think the biggest factor is that Max is so well liked and a legend, and Ilia immediately dismissed him as not deserving of a title fight.

Then said he would only fight Max if the BMF belt was part of it, making him sound exactly the opposite of a BMF.

People “hate” him because he looks like another Conor clone. Eventually, if he remains at the top, people will like him more. They hated GSP as well.

 

[filthybliss]

His wannabe Conor act and the fact that he slammed my precious king, Alexander Volkanovski, is why I ain’t a fan. I understand the pain that the Aldo Fans went through watching a brunt like Conor brutalize their guy.

Spanish Conor is no friend of mine sorry...

I appreciate how European fighters learn multiple languages and give English interviews as appropriate.

Currently Ilia prefers to strike but I want him to mix in more takedowns and submissions.

 

[mjoln]

He print bmf belts and promote matadors

 

[Last Falconry]

Nobody likes a cocky dwarf. The fact that tiny people are permitted to behave this way is a glaring oversight

A lot of people don't realize that half the time he's trying to joke around with this stuff but just isn't very good at it.

Like people were losing it when he did that tweet thanking himself for being so good lol. And that time he had the BMF belt up on display beside his FW belt.

These are jokes, people. They're just not really all that good.

All he's trying to do is get a bit of a rise out of his opponents. It seems to work well enough. I mean, he called Volk old and as a result we got some of the funniest content ever with "Old Man Volk" and those videos haha.

It was just talk -he was always fighting Max bmf or not

It's true, it's that smile he always does

he has this look where he wrinkles his forehead and squints a little, usually with a wry smile. it’s the look of complete douchey arrogance. i love it.

“oh, you think you can defeat me? that’s amusing. i almost want to laugh. almost.”

“how does this belt look on me? yes, i know—it looks fantastic, like everything else after i put it on.”

“i’m gonna buy your wife a drink. don’t like it? too bad. i can beat you up lol.”

“wow, i look so big on that screen. but it’s not big enough. they need a bigger screen for me.”

“look into my eyes. they are like a tiger’s eyes. rawr!”

 

[Goutfather]

tbh i think ilia should just lean into the whole douchebag thing and grow a ponytail. maybe wear an iron mask like vega, since he is vain and from spain.

 

[HHJ]

I like him

When he put UFC champ on his IG before he fought Volk, I thought that took serious balls.

 

[Neck&Neck]

I didn’t like him at first
But now I’m on the Top Train
His skills are legit
