I am so nervous (UFC 123)..

It's to be expected. I'd be willing to wager that the majority of people who attend a UFC fight are casual fans who have the unrealistic expectation that these guys are going to go in and just swing on each other or try to break each other's arm.

If you are ignorant about the nuances of the sport and only want to see shit like that of course you'll boo.

To call the Detroit crowd "thugs" for booing is off a little. The Indianapolis crowd did the same shit as did the German crowd during Marquardt's fight. It's almost every major market that does it.

Honestly, I'd rather watch technical fighters like Shields or Jacare than two guys who go in there just swinging wildly at each other.
