Was anyone else annoyed by Derek Brunson celebration after beating Leben?

This year, Brunson had a fight cancelled last minute by the commission, lost two straight, made it on TUF only to find out contractual issues were blocking him from participating after he was confirmed for cast, and made his debut on 8 days notice.

Classiest thing to do? No. But aside from Dennis Hallman, maybe no one else in MMA at the high levels had worse luck this year. I at least understand it.

I understand he had a rough year but it seems people are justifying his antics because of it. Who knows? Maybe that's why but it was ridiculous to say the least.
 
He looked like an idiot and it made me laugh but I wasn't upset or anything. The fight was boring but he has potential.
 
Yeah I got mad and poured my cereal all over the floor then I had to fry up some hot wings cause I was still hungry.
 
Not agreed

The fight outcome shouldn't be the only determining factor as to how a fighter reacts when it's over. That's spoiled fan shit right there

Yes you're right. Why stop there? How about John Dodson style celebrating with backflips off the cage after one of the most boring fights in recent memory

Again, spoiled fan bullshit

How about he's a human being that probably just went through a whole bunch of human being shit PRIOR to this fight and this was a big moment for him as a HUMAN BEING

But as an ARMADILLO it's uncalled for!!
 
I was walking away but I heard the celebration. lol. It was a terrible fight to celebrate like that but it was his 1st ufc fight and was a victory. I recall another debuting ufc wrestler doing the same thing not too long ago, can't remember who though. I know it was a poor showing but then I realized it was his debut lol
 
Most guys look stupid when they are amped up. I miss the Fedor and Cro Cop post-win reactions where they look like they just got home from work.
 
You don't seem to get it. If u want to get all sentimental , A LOT of fighters go through a bunch of shit before a fight. It doesn't mean becoming the hulk and screaming and throwing yourself backwards on the ground after a snooze fest is justified because of it. It just doesn't and if u don't see that then nothing will get you to see that. Spoiled fan shit is your response when it's so far from the point is laughable

1) Everybody is different and will react differently as their circumstances vary in degrees of sentiment. Get over it. By your logic everyone should run around screaming like Liddell when they KO somebody.

2) Why should the fight being a "snooze fest" even matter to him when he's probably reacting to a bunch of other shit? Again, get over it. Let the guy be a human

Let it go bro. Let it go. Move along
 
Your thread

Youre stating him going through shit as why he did that as if u know. Everyone thought it was ridiculous. Fans , Rogan, Dana , Leben... Get over it. Be a human behavior specialist in another thread.
 
So, he's not allowed to celebrate winning his UFC debut because he didn't win the way you wanted him to? You're right, this totally shouldn't have been a huge moment for him and he had no right to be excited.
