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. |

I like the bangers (which is why i'm a huge Rampage mark) but to boo grappling (which is a HUGE part of fighting) is ignorant..

Definitely agree, but again it's how the sport is marketed to a certain extent. UFC has released DVDs featuring the Greatest Knockouts or Greatest Submissions, but not too many about greatest grapplers. Even on ESPN they only show the KO's or taps for the most part so the casual fan expects to see only that.

I don't know why Dana was more understanding of the Machida vs. Rampage fight than Marquardt vs. Okami. He shat all over Marquardt and Okami while praising Machida and Rampage, and I'd venture to say the fight in Germany was a better, more competitive, rough and tumble scrap.
I guess it's cuz he's fucked in the head. |

I think he was more understanding of Rampage's performance than the fight overall. Rampage went out there and tried to push the pace the best he can throughout the fight and survived the last round where Machida took him to the ground whereas that last round with Marquardt kind of sucked.

Apparently Rampage was sick 2 days before the fight and almost had to pull out.

The core fans know what's up, the casual fans may or may not boo, but it's the douchebags who are the most vocal. They're the guys who make MMA fans sound retarded, the guys who have made it seem like only lame people wear Tapout shirts and the guys buying up (and thus propagating) all those terrible Ed Hardy shirts.

Tapout's been around for ages. No one thought anything of it until MMA got big and every douchebag and bro on earth started rocking them.

Supporting MMA doesn't make you lame, wearing tacky shirts and having no fashion sense does.

Shut the fuck up IC... theres nothing lame about all those clothes. Whats lame is the guys that get th shirts 3 sizes too small, matching jeans and sport an attitude that because theyre wearing it, theyre the toughest man on the planet. Its the douchebags wearing it making it lame.

I'm a t-shirt and jeans guy, or a polo and jeans. I just think most of the MMA clothing looks really tacky, much in the same way I think Ed Hardy looks tacky. I don't care if it's white trash wearing it or not, though I'm sure it doesn't help the cause any.
Also, I assume you look like a lumberjack in your flannel, being the big, bearded, and the behemoth that you are. Last edited by IC Champion; 11-28-2010 at 11:57 PM. |
