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?

When someone loses a title fight it means they were overrated and overhyped the whole time.
Those are just a few that come to mind.

Also, speaking of referees, I think there needs to be a clearer way of enforcing penalties for fouls. I think the MMA world would really benefit from a universal set of "foul rules." Like you get 1 warning about grabbing the cage, next time it's a point. Don't warn the guy 4 times. It's bs, you warned him once, take the point the next time. I don't have an ideal solution drawn out in my mind, but it drives me crazy when the ref will warn a fighter over and over for the same thing.

Top of my list for what grinds my gears, is people correcting others grammar in forum posts and people who think grammar defines intellect.

i just don't get their necessity to vocalize their aversion of someone to that person or to other people, or even understand their hate in the first place.
Granted, there are fighters I dislike for a number of reasons, but to hate and actually act on that hate and take it directly to the "hatee" on social media or whatever, I think it's just stupid and serves no purpose.
