So why is the houston crowld being nice to charles?

[welcometohavoc]

They were booing everyone who wasn't a texan but they are treating charles well, what am i missing are the guys to drunk or charles is already loved everywhere?

Dude has a 90% finishing rate. Just Bleed is a universal language

 

[Tapatio]

Because he didn't hyah hyah point fight his way to a bullshit win

 

[Tchernobog]

The drunk Houstonians probably thought Charles is Tony Ferguson, and were amazed by his resiliency and fighting two fights back to back

 

[Shaddows]

beniush dominated their favorite and showed he had what takes to beat him - and got booed out of the building, poor guy

...did he KO Tony?

... Obviously not the same thing

 

[Zanderlini]

He showed heart, fought hard and came back and won like a boss. People will cheer for that unless you're a giant douche.

COS THAT SHIT WAS DOPE

 

[MMAProfessional]

If they weren't from Texas I don't think they cared who won. Sure they cheered for whoever was born in the USA but if someone finishes it's easier to pretend you were with them the entire time.

Joy is universal

Shifting the goal posts now, weak haha

 

[kingJohn]

Because he's a tough, exciting fighter who showed a ton of heart.

Because most of them arent from TX.

not the least.

Houston likes dominant fighters who "end the competition".

Beating someone via decision win is not the same as showing your dominance by KTFO your competition.

 

[Mr_Pink_eyes]

Considering the shit fights beforehand, it's easy to appreciate a beautiful KO especially in an exciting title fight.

 

[Carlan Gracie]

Charles is a good guy and represents all of us from favelas! tonight the favelas of Rio are happy. Party time!

 

[Sad Dad]

how can you hate on the guy after a fight like that? Charles deserves ever single bit of praise he's getting and more. I'm super happy for him. The guy broke the ceiling on his limits with pure determination. Can't wait for future LW title fights.
