Yes, all of my casual UFC fans say the same things. "UFC is like pro wrestling now." "LOL @ the nicknames!" "This is gay!" "This is boring." "Lets watch something else." "I've been pronouncing Vanderlai with a V but it's spelled with a W, I'm so stupid!" |

The worst is when these types will argue with you and don't even know the names of the fighters he's arguing with you about. Perfect example, Anderson vs Forrest. I tried to hold my tongue when this guy kept telling me "this white guy is gonna smash him." The second the fight ended he was convinced it was fixed.

I've never understood how fans take pride in being a bigger fan than someone else. |

I work with a guy who watches every ppv event with his friends and I still can't have an intelligent conversation about mma with him. He says him and his friends just buy the ppv's to see guys get knocked out.

Most of my friends don't watch it or only occasionally if a big name is fighting. I have one who will watch most fights with me but thankfully doesn't act like he's an expert at all. Just asks who's fighting and if it's a good card or not. Funny enough my dad is more interested and knowledgeable about the sport than any of my friends.

I have a friend who is a die hard fan. Both of us started watching MMA when another friend showed us some old videos and then watched the Pride Grand Prix on PPV. To this day he calls Vitor, Victor Belfast and he is being serious. |

RickStorm -TX_432 - "Was that guys name Wonderful Silver"? BeautifulJohn Madden play by play here.
I have a friend who is decently knowledgable and whenever we head out to bar watch, when something generally exciting happens (example - rampage/hughes style slam, tight submission) he belts out, loud as possible, DDT!! It's actually a good laugh for everyone, but ocassionally he gets the "come on man trying to watch the fights here". Dumbest i've ever heard while being out (Franklin v Vitor @ 103 i believe). I tried my best to respectfully tell him 'look man anything happens here, a fight is a fight, but i'm behind Vitor, and I like Rich, I just don't think Rich has the chin to hang around here'. NO bullshit he responds with "You don't fight Anderson twice with shit boxing bro!". I responded with something along the lines of "You're exactly right". We hear yelling, the fights over. In finale I get "Ace took a dive".........time to leave. |

I was told that Tim Silvia knocked out Anderson Silva to take his belt.. Yeah. The worst part was that the group of people we were with believed said moron over me. I guess ignorance is bliss. |

I think it's best to just watch the fights with teammates. |

Joshua J King - It's usually wiggers and wiggsters that want to go on and on about how whatever black guy fighting is a beast and the white guy is inferior...moments before Cerrone X Melvin. voted up for use of the word "wiggers" |
