The Unlikely MMA Fan

BONES NOSE.

I've been too busy with this whole "grad school" thing to make fun of fight fans; but today I was on Facebook and saw this brilliant response to the UFC's announcement of the delay in the Weidman fight.

UFC fans are still misogynists.  The sky is still blue.

ATTENTION WORLD:  SOMEONE WROTE (TERRIBLE) UFC FAN FIC THAT PAIRS GSP WITH NICK DIAZ.

The UFC Facebook page is basically the worst place on Earth.  (Just how bad it is has become a new obsession of mine.)

Let's start with this class act questioning the respect of female fighters (who are all grown ass, adult women) while refering to them as "girls."

I laugh so hard every time I see this on my dash and see Bisping looking over his shoulder.

I watched the first episode of Fight Master on Hulu this week.  Congrats, Bellator, on making some nearly unwatchable television.

I would rather watch UFC hopefuls get drunk and throw shit in the swimming pool than watch Frank Shamrock try to be smart and use reverse psychology.  I am not sure what was more painful - his attempt or the fact that it worked.

Randy Couture's veneers are incredibly distracting to me.  Googling "Randy Couture veneers" informs me that I'm not the only one.

Shawn Jordan's keeping it real with this fucking sweet, potentially racist tattoo.  I like to think this is a salute to all the terrible tattoos MMA has seen before Jordan's time.

Hi.  I'm a grown ass man that beats on other grown ass men for a living.  I wore my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles undies to work today.

Is there a soundbite from Chael regarding his inability to obtain a Canadian visa? 

I can only imagine any response he has for this is amazing.

Turning a profit from Dana's catty comments?  If he's not smart, Roy at least surrounds himself with business savvy people.

This whole Meisha not Cat thing?

Does it matter?  We'll still be subjected to Rhonda and that might be more than my brain can handle.

Two thoughts after all of the reading I've done this weekend:

1.  The UFC/Zuffa can't trot out Liz Carmouche as an out fighter and Rashad Evan's for his support of marriage equality and make donations to the LGBT center in Las Vegas while their PAC donate enormous amounts to politicians who are against LGBT rights. You don't get to show off people when it's good for you and throw them under the bus when it's not.

2.  Supporting conservative  and attacking a union isn't how Zuffa will win Albany.  I think in the end, Zuffa has more to do with why NY doesn't have  UFC fights than anyone in Albany.

The next time Uncle Dana runs his mouth about Culinary 226 and political money, let's remind ourselves that Zuffa has a PAC and what they do with their money is more often than not horrible.

At the end of the day, let's not forget that Dana White is a rich, white man.

[theunlikelymmafan]

I am probably the only fan in MMA that's looked up Dana's contributions to political campaigns. 

There's some serious nerd stuff happening in my brain right now.

I refused a date from someone who told me that Matt Hughes was their all-time favorite fighter.

I responded that the only thing worse would have been a Diaz brother.

This is what my life has become.
