TUF and tears

Underground
1

Hello all...

I am curious to know what it is about T.U.F and having a good amount of the fighters crying ?

I have also noticed this in some UFC's with some of
the competitors quick to tears in victory and defeat.

I have had 9 fights in MMA and have been around quite
a few MMA shows here in Australia and I have never seen guys backstage away from the camera's and public eye even close to crying. Angry, frustrated and so on
yes...

I am curious is their a different psyche' among some fighters or is it perhaps that the stakes are higher
in some US shows ? Or are Australians ( and Kiwi's) a different breed ?

I am curious as to other peoples opinions or perhaps insights.

I am only posting just that I find it frustrating that when watching this show with people who are not around the fight game( people who are attracted to the TUF mainstream appeal), they see these guys crying, chucking tantrums, and so on...

Now I am not suggesting everyone should be or is emotionless..I am just curious..some guys are almost Bi-Polar. So angry and full of themselves and then reduced to tears.

Thanks again guys

Kym Robinson,

Very true.

They do after all represent our sport.

True warriors cry like girls when they don't listen to their corner or when they can't make weight.
