One thing MMA does not lack are unlikable athletes.

I respect everyone that is willing to get into a cage or ring and fight in front of a live audience. As the sport is getting bigger and social media getting better it is easier to see the people behind the fighter, or in Conor’s case the WWE character behind the fighter, and often enough they have personalities that can be polarizing if not generate near universal aversion.

Often enough seeing an arrogant or loud-mouthed fighter humbled is as enjoyable or even more enjoyable than seeing one of your favorite fighters winning.

There are certain occasions in which the deliverer of the satisfying beatdown becomes the receiver in a satisfying beatdown.

There is perhaps no division with as many unlikable fighters, in my opinion, as bantam weight. Perhaps, fighting at 135 is the perfect weight to have small man syndrome. If you fight lighter, you’re just happy to get noticed, bigger in MMA and you’re likely walking around near averaged sized…but bantam weight…. it’s like the Goldilocks principle for having a chip on your shoulder.

When Cody Garbrant but a beating on long time arrogant dick Dominick Cruz it was very satisfying





Then when TJ Dilasahw put a beating on young Cody it was equally satisfying





Dilashaw went full dickheaded asshole before he fought Cejudo and it was satisfying seeing him smashed





Now Cejudo has evolved into this unlikeable giant head. He literally looks like someone put Tito Ortiz’s head on the little guy in Game of Thrones body. I hope Marlon can deliver us a nice satisfying beat down.

At this point every time Conor loses it's satisfying







Few fighters are more arrogant than Joanna, so when she got finished by Rose





Rose's "troubled soul" gimmick really started to irritate me. Also like any successful fighter, especially in WMMA, her skill level really began to get exaggerated by MMA media and fans, so when Andrade smashed her into a living death....it was very satisfying



Personally, as a huge PRIDE fan it was really satisfying seeing a former PRIDE fighter Rampage Jackson finishing Chuck Liddell. Chuck was also ridiculously overhyped by the casuals of the time.



Nick Diaz beating down arrogant prick Frank Shamrock was also enjoyable



Cain Velasquez finishing Brock at a time when people thought Brock was too powerful for heavyweight and should be force to move up to Super Heavyweight




Fedor finishing Sylvia...when many fans believed Dana White's negative comments regarding Fedor not being UFC level



Continued......

Personally the Diaz brothers shit talking has gotten old so when fighters like MacDonald and Dos Anjos put a beating on Nate




This one puts a smile on my face




so does this one

I am super disappointed. No mention of the biggest cunt in MMA history getting KTFO'ed and having her fat mouth shattered?!


And then getting lit up like a Christmas tree in under a minute while the new Hollywood lib owners expected a walk-on title win?


Also, how long before PainDog gets tired of Andrade and celebrates her getting stopped? Backlash is very real in this sport.

I am sure none mentioned Ronda out of respect to you.

This was your post to make

It depends on Andrade...I dont understand why so many MMA fighters turn full asshole when they start getting success.

Nunes was probably my second favorite WMMA fighter after Andrade...then she talked so much shit leading up to and after the Cyborg fight I can't wait to see her smashed.

It's an unfortunate byproduct of what UFC has become thanks to WME. The Hollywood suits seem to only want to push talkers and assholes. Factor that into how greatly UFC has restricted everyone's income in recent years and we get this. It definitely isn't ideal, but what can we do?

Holy shit I forgot how glorious that suplex was


Caldwell has a fan in me for that beatdown of Warren alone basically. I will cheer for him pretty much anytime he is not fighting Horiguchi
