You've got to be shitting me.
Ali was HATED during his time. Ali is only respected in hindsight.
Why do the same people who hate Jon Jones for being cocky and "unchristian" also hate Benson Henderson for not having a personality (humble) and being preachy (claiming to love god and shit).
Do MMA fans switch religious ideology on a whim?
Yet the same opinions are held for the same things.
Mighty Mouse and Bendo - Humble and not supported as Champions
Rampage, Evans and Jones - Cocky and not supported as champions
Silva is the only outlier as both humble and cocky and is 50/50 on love and hate.
