It's because Sean is the casuals favorite fighter and anyone he fights people take it dead ass serious and hate on the other fighter. Same thing happened with hill and Alex. Hill was just shit talking to sell the fight and people acted like he was making fun of a dead relative of alex

You can't attack fans who talk shit. You're an athlete and performer for the biggest MMA promotion in the world. I remember a HS bball game and some hecklers came in. One of the players complained of them talking trash and the ref said, that's the audience and you're the athlete, that's a dynamic of the game. That's Hs basketball!

[@benmcreynolds8581]

For real. I fully agree. It's ridiculous how he's unable to manage and control himself over very petty and immature sh*t. Nothing against Merab, i just wish he could learn how to manage and control that immature parts of our mind.. he's a pro MMA fighter.. he shouldn't be so bothered by some random fan saying some dumb sh*t

[@redghost1567]

I wonder if I see you irl and start talking shit to you. For example if you have a wife and I say something like am ur wife’s daddy and I have her on all 4 and she is standing next to you would you react? All human don’t like people talking shit to them and all the people who believe they can do something they do it. If you are scared of the person talking then that’s a different story. Just because someone is an athlete or more specifically a fighter does not mean they can’t or shouldn’t react to people who are actively disrespectful to you around you.

[@vipset87]

@@redghost1567 I'm not an athlete or entertainer. He bought a ticket and is talking trash from his seat. If he was talking trash outside of that then all's fair game at that point.

[@redghost1567]

@@vipset87 i think you are responsible for your actions, if you talk a certain way to or about someone that is degrading you should receive what you deserve, if you can talk shit then you should also be able to defend your self and your actions. Otherwise you are a someone who is annoying people and when you receive what you eventually do you shouldn’t cry about it and there most certainly shouldn’t be people defending you or talking bad about the person who took action. What’s fair is fair, the dude started and Merab finished. He had a reason to do what he did, doesn’t matter if it’s a good reason or not. If the guy just kept quiet what happened to him wouldn’t have happened. And yes if you are in the audience and talking shit is fine, but when you are talking shit in and you are making sure the guy can hear you clearly it’s different. Also it’s not like Merab was the preforming, ( am guessing he wasn’t, only because it wasn’t a ufc fight and he is a ufc fighter). The guy knew exactly what he was doing he just wanted to look good or something of that sort and was being an asshole, he most definitely knew his words wouldnt be liked by Merab and he also knew Merab would of heard it. I don’t want to live in a world where you can’t defend yourself, and in a world where people can out right mock you and you take action and some random people seemingly defend the guy who started the whole problem in the first place. I grew up in the uk and in the uk we have this saying, chat shit get banged.

[@redghost1567]

@@vipset87 Don’t think of me as a hot head, I have a lot of self control and actively ignore and avoid situations that lead to a fight, even when people are insulting and such, I am also a great fighter who know if wanted to I could easily best people in a fight, I just think it’s pointless only because I will never see them again and their words are also meaningless as I don’t personally know them and it has 0 effect on me, but if I had an image and and reputation to protected or if people I would see often where to insult me or degrade me, then I would take action, even then I may not as I know I could easily fuck them up if I wanted to or if I got to a fight.
