The point at which you started hating a fighter you once loved

[mommas homeboy]

A lot of MMA fans turn on fighters who used to be their favorites. Often times, it’s completely justified.

So who’s a fighter you once loved and now detest? And no, this isn’t just a thinly veiled Jones bashing thread. Although he has been exposed as an absolute scumbag, there are other fighters who have been turned on as well.

while i never loved a fighter, i was impartial to Silva before the Maia fight, and hated him ever since.

 

[wilKO]

None. I thought Conor was cool. Now I don't. Don't detest him though. The fighters I hate I have always hates. Like Jon Jones.

I was a big fan of DC until the lead up to the most recent Jones fight. They amount of shit he talked after getting his ass beat the first time really rubbed me the wrong way, I was so happy when he got KTFO.

I never turn against the fighters I once loved. Hell, I still root for Jones. Doesn't mean that I condone every single thing they do, but unless they turn out to be serial killing child molesters and/or fans of Tom Hanks, I still root for them.

Do you even big or castaway bro?

Not hate. But as a big Anderson silva fan, i was starting to hope he got knocked out right before he give weidman the knockout on a silver plate.

For obvious reasons. High level point fighting is just fucking boring.

I don't dislike him personally. It's just his fighting style against higher level opposition makes for a really dull fight now.

So, why did you hate Jones before it became apparent what kind of guy he was?

“Get some fans” was the start of the end of Jones likeability

That he used to snitch on weed smokers then turned out to be a hard-drug user rubbed people the wrong way

Yeah.....it’s funny though. I wonder if he was a scumbag his whole life, or if he became one only after the money and fame.

I think that's funny.

If true.

When Mayhem Miller lost to Bisping

 

[Rdude92]

Was on the PlatinumPerry hypetrain till I found out how big a douchebag he is. Now on the hater train

 

[BTard]

When Bisping won the title and walked around like a rooster on Viagara. I loved him as a fighter, but he became an insufferable asshole with the belt.

 

[quantiqus]

Loving fighters? Seriously? Wow!

So you loved him before he was not a point fighter?

 

[CasterMard]

I liked Khabib back when he was new in the UFC, but as soon as Conor emerged (huge fan) and reached the top Khabib became a threat, plus his fighting style became repetitive, and in his interviews he became more and more entitled and annoying.

Seriously? I took it more like he was acting like "wtf just happened? Now I might as well play along".

 

[loisestrad]

Not like you love your wife or relatives or friends.

Love comes in many forms, chill ...
