[@Haulinbassracing]

It's because he's done so much in so little time while not being an MMA guy. It's jealousy with a huge shit to their ego

[@blackblurable]

They tend to favor western fighters over others. I mean at least from what I seen. I think it’s a bit of jealousy and it makes them feel insignificant. They were in the game for years and some a decade or so in the fight game. For a guy who’s a kickboxer that just steamrolled everyone is like a hard pill to swallow

[@CYMotorsport]

I mean 10:34 this fight doesn’t belong really. This likely should have been a draw. He did drop him twice. It was a close fight. All the analysis from people was right. It’s just rampage didn’t finish him. But I don’t think fights should be on this list if the decision is legitimately fair to atleast question. Rampage vs Forrest is questionable. I don’t think rampage should have been the clear winner mind you but I didn’t think the round by round scoring results in Forrest walking out the new champion . I’d love to see you guys do the reverse when analysts were right and the crowd was wrong. Would be tough to find examples lol but for instance I’m seeing A LOT of them say roundtree jr has a better shot than us dummies keep saying he has, maybe not win but it’ll be a good scrap.
