He gets booed on a pretty regular basis. He is a good entertaining fighter...and a seemingly nice guy...but for some reason he doesn't click with MMA fans.
Including me. I have a irrational dislike for Diego but I really can't put my finger on why. :dunno:
a couple of reasons.
1) His Kos fight. That fight pissed me off so much I wanna punch my tv even thinking about it.
2)He is crazy. Not like a funny crazy like Mayhem is, but like creepy crazy. He thinks God is like blessing him with uber power or something. Other fighters thank God which is cool, but he seems to think he is God or something.
3)He seems like a prick. If you look at him without really listening to him or watching him fight, you will imediatly think he is someone who thinks he's too cool for school or something
Those are the main 3 reasons I originally disliked him. He is exciting though :thumb02:

The main reason people hate him
is cuz he kicks their fav fighter's ASS!!!
The koscheck fight was crap, I agree.
However, Fitch is going to be schooled!
i am not a big fan, but i gotta give him the respect he deserves.
i'm the first one to admit his prayer hands are just retarded
he is a little bit creepy at times
but, he is a great fighter, with good subs, and if he didnt have a staph infection he would have fucked KOS.
i'm also mad because he is engaged to ali sonoma

I hate it when athletes give it all up to God. "Please God give me the strength to knee this man in the head until he is unconscious" . As if God gives a damn. Is there PPV in heaven? I'd rather cheer for someone who appreciates his career and his victories for what they are; a result of hard work and heart.
Agressive WINNERS get hated, and hated by lesser men who can't deal with the aggression.
Diego is my fav, and all the haters can just go love on Karo or something and sympathize with his tooth that Diego KNEE'd out of his face.
Oh sure he lost to cupcheck, or cupcake or carpet layer, but the fact is he may have lost, but no one has beat HIM like he has beat others.
The HATERS hate that, don't ya haters?
Gotta dis the man's beliefs, gotta call him names, but not gonna be man enough to do it to his face, nor I guess admit his skill level huh? that's ok, he is still gonna be a winner even with all the hater's......he can carry that load.
It's actually a very good warm up, with a mixture of cardio, strength and flexibility work, and it gives you a head rush from the way you breath and the fact that your head is below your heart for a lot of the time.
That being said, from what I've seen, Diego's yoga is very sloppy. I would kick Diego's ass in a yoga fight
I'll give the same reason the Leben haters give, he just rubs me the wrong way. I can't give you a single reason as much as a bunch of little ones. While I give the guy credit for what he has done I really do not think that highly of him and I hope Fitch makes him 19-2. WAR FITCH!!!
I feel the same way, I do have favorites and fighters I don’t like as well but not because they represent something I agree/disagree with outside of the ring. Love him or hate him he is a good fighter and still improving his game.
