ITT Your Unpopular MMA Opinions

[cheachea]

I'll go first:

• I genuinely (No Hate Completely SRS) don't understand the hype and appeal of Conor McGregor. I never understood it. Even in the beginning when a bunch of people started going crazy for this guy I was just thinking what is the big deal ? He's already lost and Never defended a Title.

The one thing I will give him props on is his mic skills and promotion of his fights that he does.

Josh Koschsck was never that good. And I'm not just saying that because he fell off and lost a bunch of fights in a row.

His only two notable wins are LnP fests against Sanchez and Daley. He was a good wrestler with some of the worst striking I've ever seen. Decent, mid-tier fighter but was never elite.

[sooby]

not sure if this is an unpopular opinion but barring injuries and fighting on sea level, Cain would be the best HW ever.

And DJ will be the future bantamweight champion!

[Singularity7]

I enjoy certain female mma fighters.

[reznov1]

i like michael bisping and hope he smashes the fuk outta gsp

[lsiberian]

Grappling and ground battles are highly entertaining.

Pretty much both of these except I enjoy wmma and not just certain fighters.

-I like fightpass

-I like Dana White

-I enjoy Dominick Cruz's commentary

[DrewDarden]

I have Matt Hughes in my top five GOATS and Frank Shamrock/Bas Rutten in my top fifteen.

Also I wouldn't have thought to mention it if it weren't already posted above, but I like the small weight class divisions and a great deal of women's MMA.

Agreed it's unpopular and agreed I hope he wins in some exciting fashion, although I don't want to see GSP smashed/humiliated.

Grappling and ground battles are highly entertaining.

Agreed in general.

-I like fightpass

-I like Dana White

I have a love/hate relationship with lolFightPass. I've been paying for it pretty much since since it launched, so I guess I can't hate it too much. But it's laggy and I wish they'd throw us a bone with a decent fight card every so often like they promised.

Also I used to like Dana a lot more, but his Trump-like schtick where he goes to battle with the MMA media is starting to wear on me.

Also agreed on Dominick. I'm a DC mark so I like DC's commentary, too.

[cgc]

I enjoy the grappling and GnP end of the fight a great deal....and it has to become just about stagnant before it bores me.
I like Frank Mir as a fighter and as a commentator.
I liked the open palm strikes of Pancrase.

[kathebrahl]

- weidman vs mousasi should be a nc, and I believe the chris will be back fighting for the title in the not so distant future
- rockhold vs bisping 2 was a fluke and rockhold wins that fight 9 out of 10 times
- cormier is an annoying try-hard
- GSP is a phony. all of a sudden willing to fight at mw and 99% sure he was on ped's in the past. doesn't bother me but don't act like this anti ped crusader
- biggest wrong in the recent WWE turn the UFC has taken, is aldo not getting a rematch. rematch at lw is the nr 1 fight I would like to see

[Cranz]

Mcregor doesn't defend titles on purpose. He only fights when he has to feel he's some kind of under dog. Even the first fight against Diaz where everyone predicted him winning lost, and vice versa on second.

Ronda Rousey is still strongest in division after nunes.

I agree with all these. But I liked Cruz on TUF and really like him after hearing his story on Rogan. Can't not like a guy who comes back after 3 knee surgeries.

Fightpass is awesome especially the the Bravo Invitational. I like most of the WMMA fights too. I'll even watch Invicta sometimes. It reminds me of the old UFC when fighters were still figuring things out.

Dana basically saved the sport IMO.

I love MMA it's my favorite sport.

If she went to Jackson's I think Ronda would get her title back, but I don't see that ever happening now. She rested on her Judo and didn't grow enough as a striker to keep up. Reminds me of Royce Gracie in a lot of ways.

What do you watch it on. Ever since I direct wired my Apple TV to my modem I never lag. I don't watch PPV through it though usually just the prelims other live events and the fight library

Ronda Rousey is still strongest in division after nunes.

Can't say I totally disagree with this, she is easily still a top five fighter and I think if she changed camps she could probably make a title run. And no matter what people say she still could be a draw. There are enough women out there that still love her, and let's face it if the wife is excited to watch a PPV many husbands will just order it.

Anybody else having trouble with this website lately. Both issues I'm having are on my desktop only so could just be me. If I hit reply (to somebody) their full quote doesn't show up. Also if I try and rep somebody the "I approve" part shows up but not the button to actually give the rep. On my phone it all works

There are only two genders

[HanselMine]

Hendo like, really really really sucked

[PepperedAngus]

There is a place for Women in MMA.

And that place is Invicta.

Arianny Celeste is not that sexy at all, her tits are fake and she has no booty

Why not just admit it? You're gay.

This. I'm not sold on this guy at all. Even more so after the loss to Nate Diaz. And their second fight was extremely close, and if I didn't know better, I'd swear Nate backed off in certain points of the fight when he had Conor in trouble. He could have easily taken it to the ground in spots, but just..........didn't. I can't help but wonder if he got all that money for that second fight just to throw it.

I really hate to think Nate Diaz would do something like that, but I wouldn't put anything past Dana White. UFC is starting to look more and more like WWE these days. No way they were going to let their cash cow lose twice..............to Nate Diaz.

Care to elaborate?

[Reliance012]

These'll rustle some jimmies...

1. Fedor isn't a top 5 GOAT

2. CC and Wand are the two most overrated fighters in mma history

3. Freestyle wrestling credentials mean less than collegiate in terms of translational success to mma

4. MM's opponents are p4p as good or better than the opponents any GOAT candidate has faced.

I have no problems with these. All three fell off once they came to the US. Coincidence? I don't think so. Just like I don't think it's coincidence that Nobuhiko Takada (a former pro wrestler) was an executive at PRIDE. There were clearly fixed fights in PRIDE, and if you disagree with that, well you're just a fool.

Just like I strongly suspect there's fixed fights in UFC. And there certainly was monkey-business, if not outright fixes in the SEG days of the company.

And fellas, let me tell you something: I've trained with pro boxers and MMA fighters. Sometimes fighters will throw a fight, because they know they can't win. The other party **might not even know** their opponent is taking a dive.

This is why the whole 'opinions can't be wrong' idea is retarded.

"He's already lost and never defended a title". He has not lost a UFC fight at FW or LW and even avenged that loss letting Nate weigh in at 170.

It's far more of a feat to fight the champion of the weight class above you than defend your title against Frankie Edgar (who Conor would decimate)

[DrewDarden]

I watch it on a Roku or Roku 4 99% when I watch something live.

There are only two genders

I saw someone else say literally this on ******** the other day. I guess I'm just getting old but is there someone proposing that there is a third gender out there to is this some meme that I
m unaware of.
