Before the fight everyone here is loving Bobby Knuckles and then after a close fight (where Yoel missed weight for a second time) people are bashing him and calling him a ducker?...

Yes, that was a very close fight that could have gone either way and the champ got the nod. Whittaker is a great fighter, what's the problem here?

How is a champ who fought fucking Yoel of all people twice getting hate on sherdog?
 
Chunky fighters like Yoel, Gastelum, Hendricks, Koscheck others are overhyped on mma message boards.
 
There in no problem, only a select few people who like to release negativity online
 
As soon as you start getting really good people look for reasons and excuses to tear you down. They liked him when he was on the way up. Now that he is at the top it’s time to give him shit. I love the guy. I think people are acting like idiots. He literally has not been in this position for very long. People need to chill the fuck out.
 
Gastellum fans is the reason.
 
Whittaker is starting to seem kinda fraudy to me....

First the Yoel accusations...now the Gas ducking...
 
Idk... The 2nd fight could've been a draw. He's my favorite fighter on the UFC roster, and I honestly think he steamrolls anyone else in the weight class not named Yoel. Whittaker's level of striking and grappling defense is elite, and he's only getting better.

I partially agree with you. That is the trend here. But when he "beat" Uriah Hall by foot stomp wall and stalls I've wanted nothing more to see him crash and burn. Complete shit fight that he made that way. Go rewatch if you don't believe me. He's not some warrior he's just a tough kid that will resort to blatant :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:ry to win, even if he knocked off a couple 40 yr olds.
 
Anyone second guessing Whittaker's god tier talent are fucking retards. Really that simple. Anyone who breaks his damn hand hitting a man like Romero to go on for 4 more rounds or have his knee busted to the need of surgery in the first fight also in the first round is a savage. Who else has put a beat down on Romero? Romero has almost retired Rockhold and Weidman lol. Chris never been the same since that knee and Rockhold after Bisping and then Romero is probably reevaluating a fight career right now.
 
I’ve noticed.

Joanna esque in switch from universally liked to hated on.

And Whittaker didn’t even have a Boogeywoman moment

I agree the accusations are a bad look... but as for Gastelum... Weidman beat him, so it makes no sense for Kelvin to get the shot right now. I wanna see Gastelum /Whittaker too, but Whittaker needs that first legitimate title defense, and frankly I think he destroys Weidman.
 
Thousands of Sherdog users with varying opinions. Whittaker said something they don't like = generated hate.
 
It's simple, Yoel is Sherdogs favorite fighter because of his muscles ( Sherdog is very open minded ) and they don't like Whittaker because he beat Yoel twice.

There is absolutely no homo-eroticism for the aesthetic on sherdog. How dare you HATER!

A combination of tall poppy syndrome and Shertards.

There's a few good people here but in general this place is an absolute shithole that attracts the scum of the Earth.
