Rumored Who are some fighters who are nicer than they appear?

[Bigmoney4166]

U just making stuff up now? Lmao

Didn't he say that?

 

[woodsideQ]

Leben seems like a nice dude these days.

well it it's hard to get into trouble in a hospital. just kidding i love leben

 

[JAL]

That all started hating him AFTER he started his schtick. But with your name, I doubt you care about facts.

Colby was hated during his D1 days aswel

 

[woodsideQ]

I haven't heard a single good thing about Jordan

i'll give you the first, he has made more money for Nike than anyone and still sells more sneakers than today's stars despite not playing in a game since before the people buying them were born

 

[Grill master]

Gray Maynard. You wouldn't meet a nicer guy and he goes by the moniker "The bully".

 

[Strijfy]

michael jordan was hated buy teammates. maybe he just has a different approach. doesn't make him a bad guy. or maybe his gymmates are liberals

...or maybe he just really is an arsehole..?

 

[Strijfy]

Tito..I became a fan while watching TUF. Hes a decent dude.

 

[Strijfy]

U just making stuff up now? Lmao

Bisping? yes he was... said so himself. I think Bisping is pretty genuine as you see him... good and bad.

 

[Rationality]

You need to go see how Michael Jordan treats his mom, his long-time security guards, etc. He takes good care of his people. Also go listen to his hall of fame speech. He's giving thanks and credit where it's due the entire time.

He did and he does. He talks about it freely.

Now he doesn’t hate the blacks anymore. Only the gays. Just Joking. Kinda.

Markys, you should chase down an interview with him, maybe Serras podcast or something. It’s solid. He’s grown a lot.

 

[Rationality]

...or maybe he just really is an arsehole..?

On the court he'd rather be respected than liked. Nothing wrong with that. He takes good care of people close to him.

In the current era I'd imagine quite a high percentage of them given that playing an asshole persona seems to be whats expected.

 

[cheesus]

Tito would be up there, comes across as a bit of an arrogant, obnoxious dumb meathead but but I've heard nothing about great things about how he treats his fans.


The opposite would be Stephan Bonnar, came across as pretty likable in his pre & post fight interviews as well as how he conducted himself on TUF, funny and charismatic guy but I have heard nothing but bad things about him with fan interactions.

Josh was always a great guy. It was known, it is known,

Why exactly do you think Colby is a good guy? Have you ever actually heard of him doing something selfless or non-transactional? Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure in college he was a fun guy to be around. But that’s different.

Anyway, my answer is Nick Diaz. Most of his worst transgressions were before his frontal lobe finished growing (eg Riggs incident). He had a lot of growing up and emotional IQ to learn. And he did…but considering how far back he started, his progress often gets overlooked.

Wandy Claus

great one, cyborg also seems to be a sweetheart

 

[Misanthropist]

Suprised no one mentioned Cain yet. His vicious style and caveman features will make people think he’s a short tempered meathead.

 

[deucesarewild]

jon jones, ruthless in the cage but outside the cage humble nice guy

Until he gets jacked up on drugs and smashes into pregnant women with his car.

I used to go to AKA. 1st day I was there, as I was wondering if those guys really trained there, Cain was the first guy I saw. I passed him in a dark hallway, he didn't seem so friendly.

Luke Rockhold and Josh Thompson are actually pretty friendly guys, despite Luke's rep.

 

[spinup]

Colby Covington being and obvious one, 100% persona (even if he's in part being absorbed by it, I still think he's a good guy behind all that noise)

Apparently, people who knew him in his wrestling days say he was a cunt.
