[@breathtakers914]

@@elshanks1578 Because he didn't beat anyone famous like Nate Diaz, Usman or Adesenya that's why. Guys who had match up against khazmat got absolutely dominated except burns but he still won. But it's still not enough to get him cheer from fans. Like how khabib dominated every fight in his early days of UFC but still got booed against Connor, but after beating him he became Star.

[@ringzy]

Vice versa also. Look at DC

[@MarvoloSalazar]

@@breathtakers914 Nonsense Winning fights doesn't guarantee you anything. Mma fans are the most fickle/worthless metric to receive praise from. Look at khabib he never lost got a shit ton of hate back in his run its only recently that people started flocking to him. Usman was a dominant champ for years and received heavy backlash its only when he shut Colby up did people start flocking to him. My point is winning fights doesn't equate to receiving praise from fans. They can choose any amount of nonsensical issue that they might have with you and latch on to that for years. Be it a "boring personality", "boring fighting style" "cringe behaviour" etc. Whatever the daft airheads will feel like in the moment is what they'll express wins or no.

Khamzat was never generally beloved. He's always been very polarising, you either love him or hate him. Most people that love him's opinions didn't change much because of the weigh ins they were just disappointed. It's just that the haters (who were previously silent) finally have something to hold on to that's why it seems like so many people suddenly hate

[@reecemccullough4829]

[@ericmcclelland7151]

I'd definitely disagree Most people I've spoke to either liked him or indifferent to him, with the sentiment he might be the "next khabib" and excited to see his prospect, but then he went and disrespected everyone, the sport overall & a fan favourite fighter by not even trying to make weight(or so it seemed) and obviously didn't give a fuck

[@kamaleshroy2388]

Whi loves a 72 hoor candidate? Only mullas love him coz he is mulla

[@themonsterbaby]

Pretty much. Cuz I love the dude and that's exactly how I felt. I was just disappointed. And then to hear his coach say he basically just came into camp too heavy shows me it was avoidable. But in hindsight I'm glad it happened cuz I think the card turned out better..... I didn't wanna see Diaz get mauled like that for his farewell fight. And Khamzat beating the shit out of Nate would've probably got him even more hate than the missed weight did (even though that's more on Dana and Hunter, Khamzat would've just been doing his job). So it's all good, as long as he doesn't miss weight AND beats Colby the mma fans will completely forget about that last situation.

[@thomascooper3406]

The thing with Rose isn't just that she put on a boring fight. If she'd played it safe against someone super dangerous it would have perhaps been understandable. What made it so bad is that for every second of the fight she looked so much more skilled than her opponent and like she could finish it any time she chose to and just do nothing but evade..

[@travismcminimy8187]

Agreed. It made sense to be somewhat standoffish for the first round...I'm sure Rose has memories of getting easily ragdolled by Carla. But once she established she could get back up pretty easily, even if Carla took her down, there was no excuse to at least not try to score points. And she didn't just play defensive. She acted like a videogame character whose buttons broke.

[@JSwett0042]

thats because she had a gameplan…she fought esparza before and knows how quickly she can take her back, or shoot for takedowns. But go ahead and nit pick her performance and validate the ignorant haters, thats fine too. (Where tf is all the hate for Esparza? She’s the one who brought absolutely no competition to the fight and didn’t even deserve to be there in the first place.) GSP got straight embarrassed and lost his title in his prime to a total nobody who j snuck into the title fight after being a runner up on TUF….you gonna tell me Matt serra had a higher skill level than GSP, or that GSP DIDNT hesitate in several moments he shouldn’t have? C’mon man, I also fully support her and her husband defending her fighting style; she doesn’t need to change sh*t for some mark ass casual fans, and her resume proves her fighting style is beyond capable of winning world titles 💀🤦🏼‍♂️

[@thomascooper3406]

@@JSwett0042 She had a bad gameplan.. I'm not a hater at all, I'm a big Thug Rose fan, that's why it disappointed me. I don't have any hate for either of them, I just have more disappointment in Namajunas than I do in Esparza precisely because I know she is capable of dominating her. Sure, it takes two to put on a stinker, but I don't actually expect Esparza to be able to do any better than she did. I'm no casual. I haven't missed a UFC event in over 15 years. I watched WEC, Strikeforce, Pride etc etc. I've trained MMA. I'm a hardcore fan in every sense of the word. But it's not just my opinion is it? The judges scored it for Esparza. Of surveyed media scoring of 19 publications, it was scored 11-7-1 in favour of Esparza. It literally set the record for the lowest amount of strikes thrown in a 5 round fight ever! She doesn't need to change sh**t for casual fans, no. She needs to change that gameplan to actually convincingly win the damn fight.

[@HeliumQueen]

I disagree, she got finished by Esparza one time already. What made it so upsetting is that she kept screeching "I'm the BEST" after the fight and her pedophilloic troglofauna coach Pat Barry defended that.

[@ianmcfadden2794]

My problem wasn't the skill gap its that she was genuinely afraid she was in fear of that girl. And even that wasn't what upset me it was her doing fuck all and screaming "IM THE BEST" to try and seem like she wasn't terrified of losing again.

I've always said Igor Vovchanchin was the scariest, most fearless fighter from the 90s to the 00s. He was the first to stop Mark Kerr (albeit it was a no contest due to illegal knee) but still stopped Kerr when Kerr was steamrolling everyone. And just about all his opponenets were so much larger, but he still either managed to beat them, or give them all they could handle.

[@fabians228]

Fedor happens to be the heavyweight GOAT(and the only real pound for pound heavyweight ever ) he should make the list because he’s never called himself the best and never thought he was the best. He doesn’t really say much, no trash talking, no excuses after losses and he doesn’t give a fuck about who looks away first in a stare down ,he’s literally just there to fight. He’s way more of a bad motherfucker than Jorge Masvidal or Colby Covington could ever hope to be😆. No gimmick here, just running miles every week and never once gassing out in a fight. He also can’t help but smile sometimes when he’s at the weigh ins or doing the stare down. He just is a bad motherfucker and he just shows that with absolutely no trash talking or flair👍

Doesn't even matter if he's dominant. People clown on him meanwhile jump on Nate Diaz's dick screaming "209"!!! Like Nate didn't miss weight by like 30 pounds against Conor in their first fight 💀

[@gentlemandemon]

I'm still down with Khamzat. After his past medical issues, I can understand him listening to a doctor who told him to stop cutting. His "fuck you" attitude felt like a way to ignore the inevitable hate storm for missing weight.

[@cbm3]

is it just me, or could he have also came into fight week weighing much less than he did?

[@gentlemandemon]

@@cbm3 That's fair. I don't know if there's some benefit to cutting closer to fight week, but I think a lot of fighters do last minute cuts. At the end of the day, if a doctor says stop, then a fighter should stop the cut.

[@sethwick8348]

It's crazy to me that people get so offended by a competitor choosing a strategy based on what they think will win them the contest instead of being aesthetically pleasing. Which is why I will always root for "boring" fighters and "anti-futbol" football teams. The entertaining part of watching a real sport is watching people trying to win, if you want an contest based around being aesthetically pleasing watch a movie or pro wrestling.

[@VIRGINCYCLOPS]

its one thing for him to try to win, utmost respect for that, its different when they just lay there for control time doing no damage. at the end of the day it is MMA but lackluster wont get you that far in the ufc these days sady

[@k7j007]

My introduction to the UFC and MMA was the Tito / Shamrock season of TUF and watching the fight at the end of the season. Tito and Ken made me a fan and I bet there are many more people that became fans around that same time thanks to those two

[@tdpmayhemyt]

Rhonda Rousey was a champion of noobs. She never really faced any talented fighters who were badasses in their own right. But when she finally did fight some talented fighters she got outclassed every time. You can actually see the level of skill she really has when she fought Nunez. Nunez took her apart with such ease. And let’s not forget her shadow boxing/sparring video, lol.

[@albinwallen634]

Doork? More like animal too goon

[@shahidabdoullakhanzorovr1564]

The only dorks are the ones who went from slurping him sooo hard after just three fights to hating on him even though he's now pretty much a proven veteran. You should be glad he didn't fight Diaz. It'd've been a waste of everyone's time, just like the Usman-Colby rematch was. *Edit:* Wait, a goon is a good thing now? This generation...

12:28 Can you imagine how terrified the officials were when they saw Khabib, someone normally respectful and calm, suddenly jump over the cage in pure hatred to beat down Dillon? Arguably the best fighter in the WORLD jumps into a brawl and THEY have to somehow get in-between them to stop it before a riot starts.

[@reecemccullough4829]

[@Rocky-oq9cy]

@@reecemccullough4829 I didn't say they couldn't stop it. I said can you imagine how terrified the officials were right when he jumped over. They didn't know how it was going to end. They saw the best fighter in the world picking a fight outside the ring. They were probably shitting themselves.

​@@Rocky-oq9cy he's not that feared outside the octagon where people are bigger than him. he's small. I'm not telling he is weak or something but you keep saying he is the best fighter in the world.

As an adult, I understand why Tito felt that way. As a teenager, I was like, "It's your job though?"

[@allyourbasearebelongtous2191]

And that Tito thing. When I watched that PPV (like 2 weeks after it was live) I liked what Tito said. They were friends and I thought it was cool that he didn't immediately say some shit about wanting to kick his friends ass. I saw it as him having a line he didn't immediately want to cross. That was then though. Lol

Unpopular Opinion: Fighters owe the fans nothing to make the fight entertaining, they should be treated as athletes not gladiators. Also, since when should athletes feel ashamed for losing? They are the ones who reap the consequences for losing, in no sport do people condemn athletes for not being good enough to win.

@@tmosh55 I don't agree, if the UFC wants mma to be a legitimate sport, then the best fighters should be competing, not the best names. You can have money fights, but exactly what "favors" are you talking about? And I disagree about your premise. People watch sports because they enjoy the sport, the UFC made this culture of drama by choice. There are civilized people who watch sports just to enjoy the sport, and might appreciate a fight if it is going to be close because both fighters have good TECHNIQUE. The more I think about this, the more ridiculous and contrived this whole mma culture seems. This is what turns people off from mma, because they are appealing to as Floyd would say it, "beer drinkers". But real sports are for everybody

[@brianmcguire5175]

What turned me against Rose Namajunas was that her past trauma story, which I celebrated her overcoming against the boogeywoman when bullied with that past by her, kept continuing to be a narrative point. At some point that past has to be allowed to be replaced by the new tales of success and so ,for me at least, like Eminem's and his life story I cannot sanction a continuing victimhood story when clearly now this person has far surpassed that past with enormous success. I cannot see Rose as a still tortured soul anymore than I can Eminem in his most recent work. However, a Rose that discontinues a dark horse persona of yesteryear and instead shows the growth of character incumbent of a champion then I shall enjoy rooting for her once again. Its just the not leaving the past behind aura that bugs me about her. I know trauma is trauma, and I know about trauma in my own way too which is why my opinion is being shared here, but anyone having any troubled past seeks release and relief from it and so it puzzles me when one achieving one's own life goals against certain odds wouldn't relish the absolute resolve it surely brings. I seek my resolve and I know it brings closure for certain. She ain't no underdog anymore and no one should think that anymore lest you be fooled. To finish though, I do love above all her style, that last fight though was underwhelming but not enough for me to dislike her for it, but above is why I carry reserve for her these days

[@BiggieTrismegistus]

This is a good point. Trauma sucks and shouldn't be the kind of thing that becomes a central part of one's identity. Moving past trauma to succeed is the real story and she did it.
