A lot of the older fans who were here since the first UFC or Pride days get called "just bleed" fans.
People who like moves or fighters who use moves that would be more effective/practical in actual combat also get called "just bleed"
People who like to see Heavyweights because they like to LITERALLY the best fighters in the world, get called just bleed fans.
People who prefer the stand up get called "just bleed" and I couldn't believe it, but recently I got called a "Just Bleed" fan for being a fan of Shinya Aoki, Immanari, and Palhares.
It's come to my attention people don't know what a "Just Bleed" fan is anymore. The buzzword gets thrown around so much it lost its meaning.
A just bleed fan ORIGINALLY was an idiot who just wants to see two guys trade punches via brawling and blood splatter everywhere. Preferably two fat Tank Abott type of fighters.
Disliking point fighters, preferring to watch the biggest and the best, and liking finishes because it shows MARTIAL ABILITY doesn't make you a just bleed. Neither does making the judging fair make you a "Just Bleed" fan.
How the hell is it just bleed to want a striker to win the round when he layed an ass whooping for 4:30 of the round and lost it to a flimsy takedown? That's just wanting fair judging.
A just bleed fan is a guy who thinks he can beat up Mighty Mouse just because he is bigger than him.
A guy who understands that the little guys put on great fights but still prefers Heavyweights to watch the best in the world (none of that p4p theoretical stuff included) is not a Just Bleed fan.
I think by the year 2020, the mma hipsters are going to call everyone who doesn't like lay and pray "fights" by 100 pound females wearing head gear and shin pads, a JUST BLEED FAN.
The way the "fans" are treating (Mixed "Martial Arts") in a few years, even guys who are fans of GSP will be considered "Just Bleed losers" who supposedly don't understand the sport if things keep going this way.
There, it's off my chest. And bring back soccer kicks and knees to the head.
100% agreed.
