Should all fighters be humble and respectful?

[Will Samuelson]

Pseudo "martial spirit" bollocks.
Every fighter has their own cause.

 

[freakyfarley]

NONE of them are humble.

 

[freakyfarley]

They all need to learn some Humility

Cowboy Cerrone is always a class act win or loses

the guy never even celebrates a win

Oh you troll

 

[TheNorseMen]

So, do you think every fighter on the UFC roster should conduct themselves in a way that reflects on their martial spirit and good character?

Sure. If you do not have any confidence in yourself then that is an easy route to take. No risk at all

They act the way they want, we as fans donate our dollars to what we prefer, and the least-preferred gets voted off the island.

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

Oh you troll

Dafuq are you blabbing about?

Dafuq are you blabbing about?

Cerrone is one of the cockiest d-bags out there.

 

[laleggenda27]

Every fighter should just be themselves, and the world will judge them accordingly.

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

Cerrone is one of the cockiest d-bags out there.

He's as Humble as Fuck, you Troll wanker

 

[Chain Saw]

They should just be themselves.

Everyone really, not just fighters.

Many national associations(dana too) want mma at olimpics 2020,or 2024.That's why usada,wada,others..they go in this drugs war with zero tolerance.In that case fighters should be humble and respectful,they'll need to change something

 

[Dana_is_your_GOD]

No, only Ronda.

:>

You mean like, respectful to her food?

IMO if the fighter is good enough, then he does not need trash talk.
He gets Highlight finishes that does the talking for him.

They're competitive fighters. None of them are 'humble'

 

[z7xfla]

In general, yes. However, I don't mind some animosity every now and then as long as it's genuine. All these fighters see Conor making money so they think it's a good idea to try and start some fake drama with their next opponents hoping that they'll see the same returns. It's this fake animosity that I find annoying.

 

[SHAZAM]

Fuck no! Then I wouldn't get moments like Ronda vs Holly, Diaz vs Conor, PED Henderson vs Vitor, Moose and Lesnar vs Cain.

I may not be a fan of them but I love watching them get their ass beat.

 

[Codpiece]

As long as it isn't taken too seriously then a bit of cheek is cool. Not everyone needs to be the same.


My favourite type of fighters are generally very respectful - guys like Edgar, Condit and Maia. But sometimes a cocky guy who can laugh at himself a bit is good too. Urijah Hall and Kevin Lee both had some AMA's lately where they were asked some pretty brutal questions and played it off really well - acting a little cocky but having a laugh about it all.

 

[Helden]

Michael Bisping is a prime example of "a likeable cockhead". Colorful personality, can talk trash extremely well, but it never comes off as obnoxious or try-hard...
Conor McGregor on the other hand... well...
