How arrogant are we guys cmon now??? Most of these top fighters train with TOP GUYS and TOP COACHES. I think they know what to expect and what they are talking about by the time they get to the "big show." Why do all these Noobs and Keyboard Warriors actually think that THEIR opinion matters? It doesnt!! Just sit back, shut up and watch the fights. No YouTube reviews or commentaries needed.
Be happy that we arent in the MMA dark ages and can watch MMA fights LIVE now without much challenge. No need to criticize or implode our sport from within. Being a fan and politely/respectfully discussing is one thing, but being some snobby critic is crossing the line into unnecessary and annoying. Sure we have the right to free speech, but what ever happened to having respect for others or having TACT?
Im sick and tired of people criticizing these fighters, but offering no REALISTIC solutions other than, "He should have set up his takedowns with strikes, or he should have threw some Thai kicks." NO SH*T!!! Stop trying to be a sideline coach. You arent Pat Miletich. There is only ONE Croatian Sensation! Stop trying to be somebody that you are not or if you are somebody "special"...PROVE IT TO US FIRST before you talk, talk, talk.
ANYONE CAN JUDGE OR CRITICIZE SOMEBODY! Thats the easy part. Its actually being in the trenches DOING it, is all that matters. If the criticized fighters wanted you in their corner or in their camp...they would have asked you. They didnt so stop trolling or hating the guys that are trying to entertain you!!
Respect ALL fighters because they lay it ALL on the line just to entertain all of us. Whatever happened to respect and honor or following Bruce Lee's principles? Or did we just sell out completely as a society and compromise our values?
Unless you have something POSITIVE to say about ANY fighter regardless of their ability or record...KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT, unless however you want to back it up in front of the whole Underground and MMA community by stepping in the cage and putting it all on the line.
Otherwise, MMA as a sport will be run by a collective group of trolls and Keyboard Warriors like the ones found here in the Underground. Trolls are a dime a dozen nowadays but yet all of "us" do NOTHING about it??? WHY???
Stop the hate and celebrate!
Love them or hate them, you should RESPECT ALL fighters...even the ones that make mistakes or arent as good as others. If you get in the cage or ring you have MY COMPLETE RESPECT. We are ALL human and make mistakes, so its wrong to criticize WITHOUT offering a POSITIVE solution or compromise.
Dont forget our MMA past history guys, or else we wont have much of a future for our sport.
Without fighters we dont have MMA period. Unless you guys like bowling THAT much...
