This is a thread to voice your peeves, what you find ignorant, annoying or you just hate that can be attached to  the sport.

Ill name 3 that come to.mind immediately.

1. "Latinos are taking the sport over like boxing" " Blacks will dominate this sport like NBA and NFL" or "In 10 years every champ will be Russian". Sigh, if people only knew how stupid these beliefs are...

2. The **** erotic stigma attached to MMA, grappling and wrestling. Even in Jest, **** is getting old.

3. That theres three facets to MMA " wrestling, Jiu Jitsu and Kickboxing ". Dumb **** right there if that's all you can see or think people train or all that works...just come on. 

What are some of yours?

"If I have a goal, then it is to escape from this literalism. I'll never achieve it; in the same way that I'll never manage to describe what really dwells within my character, although I keep on trying."

Also this that Live2Wrestle said;

"MMA becoming too much like a sport and putting winning/rankings/etc over being entertaining and a fighter."

@ED209. Reading facebook comments is one of my favorite things to do when I'm bored. Read the UFC's page and Dana White's page.

90% of the comments on Dana White's page are:

1) "Who cares, the UFC is fixed"
2) "You suck because [insert fighter name here] isn't fighting who I want them to fight"
3) "It's your fault because [insert fight ending in controversial decision] didn't go the way I thought it did"
4) "You don't care about the sport"

The best part is Dana White's "facebook page" is just his twitter connected to facebook, so he probably never sees those comments and people demand responses from him.

hahaha

some beautiful contributions here, guys. Keep 'em coming.

I'd also like to nominate fanboys who act like teens towards their favorite fighters and celebrate like schoolgirls every antic and stupid little thing they say or do, especially those on board of the self-proclaimed GOAT, Conor McGregor and the self-proclaimed Middleweight Champion & Gangster, Chael Sonnen.

Another one is the notion that a win is a win. Some wins are barely wins and some wins are just gifts. ****, some wins are even losses that are turned into wins after the fact because of a little bit a weed.

As someone else mentioned when a fighter is only point fighting to exploit  the scoring system.

Fans putting too much stock in a loss. Assuming a guy is a can or glass jawed after a loss.

Fighters calling out Bisping saying he annoys them. ******* admit it, you all think he's the easiest fight that could lead you to a title shot. Nothing wrong with that, don't hide behind dumbass excuses.

Bisping has only lost to TRT using cheats. He beat Sonnen, he beat Rashad. He is god. The list of guys he has lost to is Dan Henderson, Vitor Belfort, and Wanderlei Silva. That's it. 2 of them are TRT using cheats. 2 cancers on the sport of MMA. The other is the best fighter to ever walk planet earth. I think the easiest fight to get to a title shot is Canderson.

If you are going to say Bisping beat Chael, you have to say he lost to Hamill.

I mean this respectfully.

Mikelovestacos is like your drunk uncle at a family gathering. Everyone is laughing and having a good time, then drunk Uncle Mike starts screaming about a 9/11 cover up. "Ugh, here we go again, we got Uncle Mike started" But, on the same hand, it just wouldn't be the same without him.

Two things. 1) People who stop to turn right on the road and 2) Justin Beiber has never had his ass properly handed to him.

^If we're talking about traffic peeves, double parkers. I hate them. I'm not a fan of the death penalty, but double parkers deserve it.

Murderers. Ehhh. Let em rot in prison. Double parkers. Death Penalty. 

Specifically the people that do it where I work. They ******* parallel park in a regular parking lot behind cars because they don't want  to get off their lard ass and walk an extra 4 minutes. Cuz it's always my car they park in front of.

Fans blaming hating the "winning" fighter due to a bad judges call. I.e. people complaining about not being Diego fans after his BS decision over Gomi and Kampmann.
