have you ever gone from liking to disliking a fighter or vice versa?

I used to not be a fan of Bendo but he then grew on me as he would fight multiple times a year and would step up and fight instead of excuses..  I used to root agianst him every time he fought.

I used to like CC way back but then he started to annoy me the way he showed no respect in some of his Pride fight interviews.  If you watched his pre-fight interviews, you would know what I mean.

How can you dislike Jacare?

When did GSP, Aldo or Pettis turn heel?

What education was required for you to learn how to like BJ Penn?

Disliked Jacare in strikeforce, who knows why...now im always telling people that Jacare is the best 185er.. 

GSP i used to love his style, until his style turned into wet blanket, then i hated it.

Aldo because i hate dynasties... **** the yankees.

Pettis... i dunno... just dont.

Bj Penn because i usually dislike athletes that hold out over money... then he came back to the UFC and it was all good.

You don't like when an independent contractor does what's best in his interest? Also the best lightweights weren't even in the UFC when Penn and fought abroad, he fought better competition outside the UFC than he would have in the UFC then (did the UFC have a lightweight division then anyways?). He fought a prime Renzo and Gomi (who was ranked as one of The best) and Machida off hand. 

Support the fighters, not the billion dollar brands.

Nah, you seem like a good guy with a nice Greek shnoz.

Looks closer to Semitic so Greek is close.
