What are your MMA pet peeves?

[flowoftruth]

Almost every event fighters are hyped up on how they have a BJJ black belt, and as soon as the fight hits the ground turns out they don't even know what they're doing down there. My cousin at subway could give me a black belt if he wanted to.

Fun fact: Mcgregor was awarded his brown belt after KO'ing Poirier in their first bout.

Foot stomps.

"Wooooo!s" from the crowd.

Finicky fans.

 

[aali14]

Champions cherry picking easy contenders and deliberately avoiding dangerous ones

The belt is everybody's end goal, don't be an asshole and give the most deserving person a chance for it

Fan hating on fighters because of their nationality, race, religion or politics.

It's a sport. Be sportsman-like.

Missing weight is one.

refs / judges and rounds

 

[Swing]

Trash talk. I know a lot of fans feel like it adds flavor to a fight, but I haven't watched a press conference or weigh in for years because I got sick of everyone trying to imitate McGregor (whom I already couldn't stand).

Tony Ferguson.

oblique kicks to the knee, your knees will never be the same even after surgery.

The current Twitter to Fight Time ratio among "top fighters". Welcome to the Talk Shit Don't Hit era homies.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Counterstrikers that will do anything not to lead an exchange

 

[BrunswickMAF]

Fighter's sitting out long periods of time after knowing they earned a TS

 

[kingghidrah]

Counterstrikers that will do anything not to lead an exchange

I hear that.

Some f**kers will never pull their weight
