Seriously, when I first discovered this forum I was excited for the fact that I found a place where I can talk to people who have similar interest than me. But after a while, i'm starting to get disappointed.

First, the amount of biased/nuthugging post from pride fanboys. I mean seriously, cro-cop gets knocked out by someone barely anyone knows, decisively. but then people still start making post saying it's impossible for someone else to bet cro-cop when he gets back and he will destroy everyone on his way to belt. come on man, how can you be that close minded. this sport is changing and everyone is training harder than ever.

Now Lidell loses and i see post saying Lidell is done, and he's overrated and he sucks. Are you kidding me? did you just forget that he's been champion for 3 years and defeated every single top contender in the LHW of the ufc. he loses once (in 3 years) and people discredit everything else he's done in the past.

it's like when i was 10 and i was playing street fighter with my brother. i beat him 30x in a row and he finally beat me once and he jumped up, cheered, got in my face and started yelling i suck and he kicked my ass. totally discreditng the past 30 wins i had before.

i'm disgusted by some of these posts, it shows nothing but ignorance and 'fanboy-ism'. i'm just waiting for the day fedor comes to the ufc and gets destroyed by another unknown fighter, i'd like to see what type of excuse all his fanboys are gonna say.

some more example:
diego sanchez posts saying he's the best, he needs title shot, then after he lost i saw post saying he sucks, overrated, etc.

matt hughes destroyed everyone for a couple of years then lost to gsp and all of the sudden hughes sucks, past his prime, doesnt have it anymore, etc.

now that i think about it i dont think anything is gonna change. i was just hoping this is one of the more mature forums that i have bookmarked.

True...i think Liddell is overrated, but ive posted my reasons before in a long page. Ive thought he was overrated, even when he was dominating, so i never jumped ship with him.
Cro Cop got KO'd and i hope to god he comes back amazing like i know he can, but hes my favorite fighter and im stickin on his bandwagon no matter what.

I never liked Diego Sanchez, hes a douche...

I never really had a solid opinion on Matt Hughes...i think hes a great fighter, i was just happy that a canadian boy beat his ass.
But yeah, i know what your saying. A Majority of people will jump ship after 1 loss and discredit anything anyone has ever done.

Rich Franklin is the BEST example of ship jumpage. Before UFC 64...this dude was up there with chuck liddell when it came to the ol' nutt huggery and worship. And he loses to Anderson...and everyone was saying how much he sucked ass. ...pathetic...(i personally think Rich will beat Okami and then Anderson (or marquardt)

I agree with most of your post but age doesn't have anything to do with it in my opinion im 16 and have seen almost every Pride and UFC event. I have been watching MMA since i was 6 so i take offense when you say that this fourm being full of kids is a problem Personally I feel im more educated about MMA than half of the UFC/Pride nuthuggers who just blindly side with either UFC or Pride without thinking about what is going on.
But beside that you make some very good points. This forum is very fickle when it comes to fighters. I personally still think Diego is going to win the title in the next few years and i think he might have won it this year if it wasn't for the Hep C stuff.

With Hughes it isn't as ridculous because he hasn't looked like himself in two straight fights.

The Cro Cop stuff depends on whether he takes UFC seriously this time because he hadn't even been training in a cage Cro Cop is going to be a force in the HW divison and it is ignorant to say otherwise but it is also ignorant to say he is going to show up and dominate.

Fedor on the other hand will run thourgh everyone on the planet and it is just because unlike Cro Cop and Herring he is well rounded. Fedor is the most well rounded fighter on the planet well either him or Shogun.

So in conclusion Some UFC fighters are better than Pride Fighters and vis versa.
Shogun and Fedor are the best HW and LHW in the world but UFC has some top guys to. Shrek, Penn and their whole WW divison are beast.

Ummmm...I sort of agree with you.

Chuck lost pretty badly to Rampage in their "past" match-up and all i heard before Rampage knocked him on his ass was how Chuck was going to destroy him. I've been saying Rampage had more than just a lucky chance for a long time and I got crapped on by the same little kids praising the Iceman.

Chuck is still in my top Ten fighters, but unfortunately there are 4 other Light Heavy weights that I think could take chuck apart.

Chuck vs. W. Silva, ask me what I think will happen and I bet you the Chuck nuthuggers will answer in droves.

The only fighter worth nuthugging is Fedor, but that's because he isn't human and can't lose. I heard he was actually the animal that ate Timothy Treadwell, and that they killed the wrong Kodiak bear.

But try not to get too serious on these boards. Just have fun and put the newbs in their place. I got your back :thumbsup:

It's always like that, until a week after an event. Then finally, the n00bs start filtering themselves out.

I see you've been here in February...you should know the drill by now bud.

No worries dude, all forums have ignorant members but if you look and try a little harder there're a lot more people like you than you think. I've been on a few forums and I back this one up 100%. Give it more time and you'll notice there're a lot of people on here to learn legit mma from, that can talk legit mma, and have backed up reasoning for their oppinions on legit mma, even you don't agree with them.

I feel ya though, mainstream fans kinda ruin the fun, but hopefully those mainstreamers will become real fans eventually if they stick around.

If not.. :thumb01: we'll f*cking kill them ALL!

It's just amazing how many new fans an underdog gets after he upsets someone. It changes from "GSP is gonna work over Serra easily" to "I always knew Serra had a chance and even told my friends he would win!"

Man I hope your not referring to me Iron Daisy.

You can check my past posts if you want.

I never had a change of heart regarding who would come out on top in the Liddell/Jackon fight.

no offence, but judging by your total of 5 posts on this forum, maybe you should contribute more to arguements and prove the noobs and nuthuggers wrong, instead of just *****ing about how annoying there are.

I am a Mirko Cro Cop nuthugger for sure, but I'll be the first to admit he got KTFO and he deserved it. Being so overconfident, not needing a cage, not training for elbows on the ground, he needed an asswhooping. Maybe if you did some research on Mirko's past, you'll know that he does not take getting KO well, and he comes back hungry.

Matt Hughes is a great fighter. But I think his time is coming. He dominated the division with his wrestling ability. This whole, 'dominating w/ one skill' is soon going to stop in the UFC. Guys like GSP, who can strike, wrestle, submit, defend takedowns are going to be the lasting champions in this new mma era. The same goes for Chuck, one hell of a badass. He kicked everyone's ass for 3 years, but the times are changing. You cannot just be a sprawl and brawler anymore in MMA. Not that I'm looking past Chuck's wrestling skills, but only uses them defensively, so the other guy only has to worry about strikes, not takedowns or submissions. Same with Tito, he's not going to GnP from a guy's guard to the title anymore. He's got to learn some serious muay thai, some serious submissions, b4 he'll be a dominating champion.

just my 2 cents

This forum has exploded in members, the newer ones are obviously A. New to the site or B. New to the sport. The more B ones that come, this is what happens.

Don't worry about it. If we all ignored their **** instead of feeding it, we wouldn't end up with 10 page threads of "**** you Chuck Sucks " "**** you Rampage sucks" back and forht and back and forth. If somebody is stupid, IGNORE THEM!?

That's why Sherdog has 100 page threads of nothing but *****ing. Ingore the idiots, and they will go away. No repsonses will give them nothing to be excited about.

And can we find a new word other than nuthugger? That's on every single forum now. Anything...

IGNORE THE ****TY POSTS AND LIFE WILL GO ON!

I share the exact same sentiment. Repped.

Im 37 yrs old. And yes Ive noticed thats most here are just kids. Not that they are just kids though. But that most of them have no real concept of what MMA is about. Lumping it with WWE and streetfighting are two examples of just how ignorant they are. By ignorant I mean it in the dictionary definition of the word. As in misinformed and not having knowledge of the subject.
 
#20 ·
anyone who thinks MMA is like streetfighting or fake ass WWE crap needs to open their eyes whilst watching MMA cuz they weren't seeing it clearly

i just turned 38 so it's not all kids on here. anyway I think a lot of people on here are very knowledgeable, that's why I keep coming back to this forum

I wouldn't say Kids, I'd say they act like kids, but their age is hardly the issue, I say there's just WAY too many new comers. Also, this board is probably the biggest on the net, obviously then, as soon as someone gets in touch with MMA, they come to this site to further their curiousity for it.

you cant compare the stupidity on this site with Sherdog, people there are just idiots who like to bicker.

This is just what happens when something goes mainstream, you get tons of people who have absolutly NO idea about it, trying to take part in it. There are some REALLY intelligent people on this site, it's just a shame we also have these "n00bs" that are immature and just want to stir shit.

I'm 13, so what? I like ufc and pride. And when you think about it their isn't many "kids" on this forum. Theirs probably 10 active... And every "kid" i know, knows allot of mma info, they all have 100% grammar and they never spam.

Just look at these high;y respected people, ozz525,/\/\etallica,doublelegtakedown, esv,Hughesfan2791 and mma1990.

I know I never understood why people ever put WWE and MMA in the same sentence.
