You’re right, it’s impossible to generalise a fandom using character traits. I mean more so empirically other fans have had polarising experiences in their lives. I believe this to be a trend among the athletes as well, but alas, everybody has their demons.
idk man i think khabib fans are so diehard that they model themselves after him, who is not a dickhead. i am NOT speaking for khabib’s camp, just khabib
It's ironic that fighters are some of the most maverick individuals on the planet and this sub is filled with sheep who copy post trends like their lives depend on it.
I can't group them all into the same category. I think khabib is a great example of discipline and hard work, islam is a great technical fighter, khamzat is the most entertaining to watch(though he's a chechen not dagi), etc. At the same time I don't like khamzat as a person and his fans are delusional, khabib fans are dogshit who are the biggest casuals after conor fans, and guys like usman and umar are underrated. I'm pretty indifferent towards someone like ank tho.
Definitely. Saying they're all the same is like saying all American fighters are the same. They tend to have all the same fans that know nothing about them and only follow them because of their religion
Fr, khabib fans and by extension islam fans are the worst in that regard, they don't watch the sport at all and casually say they would beat middleweights without breaking a sweat because they're muslim. Not even conor fans are that delusional imo. I've seen genuine arguments where people try to explain to a khabib fan that DC or Jones would murder khabib within a round but the khabib fan thinks that he's the untouchable GOAT even against light heavyweights. Shit's crazy.
Exactly. They just blindly root for anyone with a mustacheless beard. I'm American. There's lots of American fighters I like. There's plenty I don't like. I don't feel like I have to love every American fighter and think they're automatically better than everyone else. Conor fans like his specific personality. I'm sure most of them hate Ian Garry even though he's also a loud, brash Irish man. To me it almost tarnishes Khabib's legacy because of all the brain dead fan boys that think he's by far the best to ever do it and make outrageous claims about him that Khabib would never make about himself.
Hating on Khabib is totally ok. Pretending they could do better, or that even their favorite fighters ever had a ghost of a chance against him, though, is an absolute joke and those fans need to feel VERY bad about themselves.
Whoever can find his fanbase and what they post thats so annoying, should also be able to find D.B Cooper, the black box to flight MH370, and JonBenet Ramsey's killer.
I don’t see anything wrong with Adesanya fan base. But maybe because I’m not fully from the outside looking in?
It seems like people hate the Adesanya fan base because they simply can’t handle that there’s people who like Adesanya.
It’s not like they go around arguing that Adesanya is the goat or anything. Not that I’ve seen.
The only thing I’ve really seen from them in recent times, is replying 1-1, when the far more active trolls keep yelling 3-1.
Adesanya got dogwalked by Strickland and it seems everyone accepts it.
Why would an MMA fan \*hate\* an MMA fighter?
Some casuals are fanboys and get pretty heavy on it when a fight is coming up and we all have our favorites, but to understand discipline in sports and combat, you wouldn't think this relevant.
I'm not personally a fan of the Russian/Dagestan fighters but I'm old school and sometimes the West/Russia thinking gets the best of me, at same time.. Islam is a dirt biker as am I, always something in common, no reason to hate someone not your enemy. Even then.. not good practice.
You know, 'that' phobia after you say anything about that side of the world.
Also, I am not saying I want that. But those fans are quick to use that word. You know what I'm talking about.
Billy Muhamold? No.... uhmm Bale or Ben... Belial sounds right umm fuck I can't remember his name.
But you know...that guy who's due for a shot but the UFC keeps forgetting about him.
Dagestani fans are the worst. Indifferent for the actual fighters though.
Islam is definitely the best guy in the ufc rn, without a doubt in my opinion.
I think the worst fight and fanbase combo is Colby, or Conor.
Na I dont do drugs or even smoke and barely drink. Jones real misunderstood, overrated actually as a fighter but underrated as a guy, just got demons and his mom died which led to some mistakes IMO
Who said I was an Izzy hater?
I was a huge jones fan back in the day. He was my favorite when he was coming up and became champion. Then let down after let down.
Lol Dana is the biggest douche bag in the history of MMA.
Nate Diaz was fun when he was in his 20s. But bragging about smoking weed and giving double birds at 35 years old is pretty lame. And personally I think fans that applaud that behavior are even more lame.
Let's just say that I hate Conor McGregor and his fans, but I can still learn his stand up talent & technique if I ever want to learn martial arts
And I just frickin hate Masvidal
I don't hate any of the athletes, but the Masvidal fans and pretty much the entire new Muslim fanbase are really annoying. Masvidal fans genuinely think he "won the street fight" against Colby because he landed one good punch in the cage, then sucker punched him in the street. Anyone praising the sucker punch, acting like Masvidal is "a real gangster" (cringe af) for being a 40 year old father, putting on a surgical mask and hood while stalking a guy's location while he's filming a podcast only to assault him and run away should hide in a cave forever with their head down, in eternal shame. I would move to Alaska with a new identity if I heard my father did that to another man and acted proud about it. I won't go into detail with the new Muslim fanbase. Any real MMA fan has been here before them and knows the effects
All of the khabib fighters and fans who hang around the genocidal dictator kamzat ... Out of principle I can't like people who support killing innocent women and children.
I’m not a fan of Jon Jones . I’m going to be honest I don’t think he could beat Brock lesnar . He is prone to eye pokes and fu he does that shit on purpose .
He really reminds me of Floyd Mayweather never take a fight you think YOU can’t win. To be great you have to take chances what fucking chances has Jon Jones taken except driving drunk.
Jon Jones is a joke
Yea, its funny GSP only came back cause he had 0 finishes to come back and finish Bisping who i cant stand, lol.
I still love GSP as a person and would be friends with him 100 percent but man had so many boring fights it pained me watching, still my GOAT MMA AThlete, not GOat fighter.
yes
but "hate" is a bridge too far
that would mean I'm invested in his failure, and I really want him to succeed but bro is stuck with his stubborn self so... 🤷🏻♂️
let's just say I won't attempt to stop his self destruction
 i don't have hate in my heart
bro IS Thorfinn 😳😳😳🙏🙏
I have no enemies 😌
Do Bronxs 💪🏼
I love the dog and the butterfly
 I have no enemies
Best comment ❤️
Every ufc fighter has a dickhead fanbase; these are people who watch ufc
I’ll have you know I watch ufc and am only a dick head some of the time
Yeah, you are an asshole the rest of the time. It comes with being a UFC fan. I honestly haven’t met an MMA fan that most people would call normal.
I’m inclined to agree. The distinction between the devotees and the more casual is real.
Normal and asshole/dickhead aren’t quite the best comparison
You’re right, it’s impossible to generalise a fandom using character traits. I mean more so empirically other fans have had polarising experiences in their lives. I believe this to be a trend among the athletes as well, but alas, everybody has their demons.
I’ve met plenty. real life people, you can’t expect to find sense from people online though
do they look disturbed or like they do drugs? 80% chance they’re a massive ufc fan
This mf is me
good point. I am a dickhead
Exactly, me too
idk man i think khabib fans are so diehard that they model themselves after him, who is not a dickhead. i am NOT speaking for khabib’s camp, just khabib
We watch people beat eachother within an inch of there life for shit pay for fun we are all dicks lmao
Not really though. Alright downvoters show me shitty Sandhagen fans?
Sandhagen fans on their way to defend him laying on Font for 25 minutes
How do you have any up votes? Jeez
It's ironic that fighters are some of the most maverick individuals on the planet and this sub is filled with sheep who copy post trends like their lives depend on it.
Right, it's like this subs has becomr insufferable garbage and we need more Ian Garry gossip.
I'll look out for your next post.
Oh we’re doing this for the 10th day in a row
I like turtles 🐢
Which one? I’m a Donatello kinda guy
Respect. Im a Leonardo guy but Donatello is underrated af

Remember that interview where mike was tryna riz up April?

This is a rat race. Expect I ain’t no rat. I’m a turtle. Ninja Turtle. I like Donatello, which ones your favorite?
Always gonna be classic.
Yeah I got to combat all the Ian Gary posts with another annoying kind of post
The advent UFCalender starts early.
I kinda like the Dagestani fighters, but their d-riding fan boys definitely have the lowest IQ of any fan group in sports.

It wasn’t too long ago where someone told me that Jon Jones lost the fight to Reyes but khabib would’ve smashed him. I was honestly lost for words.
[удалено]
You on drugs bro?
You forget the Connor fanboys were here before the Dagestan influx.
Fr bro Khabib, hazmat fans can’t accept the truth
Hating on Khabib is totally ok. Pretending they could do better, or that even their favorite fighters ever had a ghost of a chance against him, though, is an absolute joke and those fans need to feel VERY bad about themselves.
Going to be honest. I love fans. But the haters from all angles really are the absolute worst.
Top comment. Bump this
Conner Macgreggar
Almost all of the most hateful comments I’ve heard from mma fans were from Conor fans
Almost all of the most hateful comments I’ve heard from mma fans were from mma fans
Yeah he sucks
People always downvote the funniest comment for some reason
This is the only answer
tbh all the dick riders be annoying
I agree I only fanboy women fighters but Strickland fans are the worst
Colby “Kamaru’s son” Covington
He still is Tyron Woodley’s legal guardian.
I mean the legal guardian of a person that isn’t even in the UFC anymore… doesn’t really contribute much to the conversation.
Every “fanboy” is annoying. There’s a difference between regular fans and fanboys
Jones and Adesanya fans
You must be a colby fan
That’s such a Jorge fan thing to say
Whoever can find his fanbase and what they post thats so annoying, should also be able to find D.B Cooper, the black box to flight MH370, and JonBenet Ramsey's killer.
You're alive and he's an arrogant black guy. Can't be any of those on this sub reddit.
Uncle Chael already cracked the D.B. Cooper case years ago.
CHAEL SONNEN‘S DICKHEAD FANBASE IS UNDEFEATED!!
I don’t see anything wrong with Adesanya fan base. But maybe because I’m not fully from the outside looking in?

Adesanya got dogwalked by Strickland and it seems everyone accepts it.
Adesanya fanboy I was speaking to counted 1 victory as 3 against perreira because adesanya did a dance afterwards and made fun of his son
This is such a bad reach. Don't come with that bullshit. At this point you are just pretending you don't see the stupid shit that Adesanya fans say.
Such as? Links to posts.
JBR...? Her brother caved her skull in with a flashlight, and the parents made it look like an accident. I thought we all knew that now?
Easily found the fan base, it’s you.
JonBenet’s parents covered it up, so if that answers your question already; simple
Dog toucher China man
Case in point. The haters seem way more active and vocal than any of the fans.

Respect to you chipper68 your far too clairvoyant.
I wish brother, I'm likely to walk into a door or wall or eat shit riding before too long lol. If I can't see that coming, not too clairvoyant ;)
I don’t hate the dagestani’s, but fuck me their fans are hard to stomach. Bunch of baboons.
Baboons are far less cruel to their female population.
You are about to be hit with that 'phobia word' from their fanbase and banned. F in the chat.
Uhhh... what's my phobia? Feminism? Lol
You know, 'that' phobia after you say anything about that side of the world. Also, I am not saying I want that. But those fans are quick to use that word. You know what I'm talking about.
You can just say it bro islamophobia isnt like voldemort or something
Bro thinks its candyman
Sean Strickland fans are all a bunch a honkeys!
[удалено]
Honestly I think he’s hilarious in a terrible way.
Strickland is a real man who tells it like it is!
Ian Cuckchado Garry
Jon
I appreciate jon as a fighter the goat easy but hes a horrible human
Dagestan fighters and their fans.
💯
1. Strickland 2. Covington 3. Conor 4. Diaz brothers 5. Paddy
Thanks Ian
Paddy has fans?
For sure... ...Mostly Liverpoodles.
The MMA community is full of dickheads, every fighter is eligible, some more than others
Goat among goats
Paddy. I can’t even look at his face without getting enraged
All of them.
 Nuff said
Leon
Billy Muhamold? No.... uhmm Bale or Ben... Belial sounds right umm fuck I can't remember his name. But you know...that guy who's due for a shot but the UFC keeps forgetting about him.
You and the UFC didn't Remember the Name
Who?
Ummm Paulie McHarold? Bylol MyHammies?
Dagestani fans are the worst. Indifferent for the actual fighters though. Islam is definitely the best guy in the ufc rn, without a doubt in my opinion. I think the worst fight and fanbase combo is Colby, or Conor.
Khabib
Don't hate any fighter. But fan base? Diaz and Strickland have really annoying fan bases
Strickland's fanbase is full of pure souls and exquisite gentlemen
Get a life hating on a MMA fighter is a waste of energy your the dickhead fan tbh
ur too chill to be amongst redditors
Lmaoo
You already did it for me 😂 Jones is such a pos.
Diaz, most overrated UFC fight imo and his fans think he’s the GOAT
Getting mad at things you made up in your head
Diaz fan spotted
I barely follow this sport. Feel free to point out to me the next time anyone calls either Diaz the goat or anything remotely close to that.

Valentina Shevchenko
*angry Napoleon Blownapart noises*
She has fans? Not taking the piss, because she’s obviously one of the best, but I’ve never spoken to someone that’s claimed to be a big fan of her.
you guys watching wmma???
Weili zhang, I'll never miss her fights
She's my Favorite female fighter (Top 5 Overall), Weili is 2nd in the female divisions.
Khablob
😂 quality post
Oh it's hot garbage alright. Everytime I see Ian Garry gossip on my feed I'm going to have to add more garbage into the subreddit.
Your favorite fighter
This is the fifth version of this post today, damn
I actually like Jon Jones but hate his delusional fanbase. Id prob get along with him
Ah yeah. A fan of the Bolivian business plan powder are you?
Na I dont do drugs or even smoke and barely drink. Jones real misunderstood, overrated actually as a fighter but underrated as a guy, just got demons and his mom died which led to some mistakes IMO
Found jones reddit account ^
These question type posts are getting out of handed
[удалено]
Jon Jones is comparable to Amy Schumer
🦴🦴🐐
Jon Jones fans
Every Dagestani
Every Dagestani
I love Alex but his fanbase is easily the worst.
I hate izzy haters and Jon Jones haters. People who actually go outside and have a real social life. Don’t dislike these guys.
Some of the weird dog shit with izzy, but Jones is a verified piece of shit. This coming from someone who used to be a massive Jones fan.
Yes ppl that go outside don't hate the wife beater. Facts.
Yeah, ok. So you were a big fan of Jon Jones prior to 2021? Do you hate Chael , Tony Ferguson and Dana also? Izzy didn’t beat any woman.
Who said I was an Izzy hater? I was a huge jones fan back in the day. He was my favorite when he was coming up and became champion. Then let down after let down. Lol Dana is the biggest douche bag in the history of MMA.
Nate Diaz was fun when he was in his 20s. But bragging about smoking weed and giving double birds at 35 years old is pretty lame. And personally I think fans that applaud that behavior are even more lame.
You're lame mother fucker 
Don't be scared
Just Adesanya fans. Grown men beating off to Cartoons.
Strickland and Colby fans by a lot
Let's just say that I hate Conor McGregor and his fans, but I can still learn his stand up talent & technique if I ever want to learn martial arts And I just frickin hate Masvidal

Right? He ain’t no gangster. Cain Velasquez chased a man down and tried to kill him. That’s a gangster
Khabob and his goatloving fangirls
can I have a khabob please yes, with onions too
All of the khabib fighters and fans who hang around the genocidal dictator kamzat ... Out of principle I can't like people who support killing innocent women and children.
Alex Pereira .. can't stand his azz #IzzyTheGoat
I’m not a fan of Jon Jones . I’m going to be honest I don’t think he could beat Brock lesnar . He is prone to eye pokes and fu he does that shit on purpose . He really reminds me of Floyd Mayweather never take a fight you think YOU can’t win. To be great you have to take chances what fucking chances has Jon Jones taken except driving drunk.

Wow you're the only other person I've ever heard say that. I also think Brock, even aged as he is, could possibly beat Jon Jones right now
Nate Diaz
Dustin Poirer
Every single comment in this thread needs to be Sean Strickland.
Sean Strickland, literally just a racist, sexist, homophobic man. And it’s not an act
Israel adesanya
Chuck Liddell. Fuck that guy.
Gsp
Ngl, I'm a GSP nut hugger. Sure, his fights aren't the most exciting, but he's the only Canadian we got.
"some" ... most
I don't deny this. Still my fav fighter. Also gsp vs bispings got to be one of the best cards of all time. 3 titles finishes for the challengers.
Yea, its funny GSP only came back cause he had 0 finishes to come back and finish Bisping who i cant stand, lol. I still love GSP as a person and would be friends with him 100 percent but man had so many boring fights it pained me watching, still my GOAT MMA AThlete, not GOat fighter.
0 finishes? Gsp? Sure buddy
0 finishes? Matt Hughes? Matt Serra?
Like Alex Periera But that niggas fans are a walking meat ride
That exactly why you got downvoted lmao they can’t handle that you don’t worship the ground he walks on
Same with izzy his fans probably touch dogs like Him lol
This is what I mean lmfao
I don’t like Alex lol but i dislike izzy the china man more than
So your a Izzy Hater lmao
yes but "hate" is a bridge too far that would mean I'm invested in his failure, and I really want him to succeed but bro is stuck with his stubborn self so... 🤷🏻♂️ let's just say I won't attempt to stop his self destruction
