PrintI know that at some point we have all run into these types before; at the gym, at a friends UFC party, at the local sports bar. They're everywhere.
And using statistics, some of the people reading this fall into at least one of these categories, so let this serve as a warning to you!
Put two men in a steel cage and let them destroy each other. In doing so, you’ll get one of the fastest growing sports in the world today. What was once considered barbaric and savage is now setting trends faster then you can say “you got knocked the fuck out.”Unfortunately when it comes to watching this sport via pay-per-view, you’ll need to prepare yourself for the douchebaggery of spectators that surround you.

An example of a "diamond in the rough" type post...
I love this… great stuff. I will rec’d this.
He was like 'You hit like a bitch.' I'm like all right. And I stood up and slapped him. I go 'Now you just got hit like one.'" - Kurt Pellegrino.
I hate going to a bar and seeing seats taken up by disinterested girlfriends who do nothing but text their friends and look bored. I learned to leave my gf home a long time ago.
I dont even bother asking my wife to come. We’ve both reached an understanding ;)

My wife is a huge MMA fan and knows more about the sport than some guys I’ve trained with. Suckers.

I invited a buddy if mine over for a UFC and he is a “know-it-all” type.
I sat him next to a BJJ black belt world champ and proceeded to listen to him explain to the black belt about BJJ and MMA and strategy, so on. Of course, being the nice guy I am, I didn’t tell him the guy is a BJJ black belt! Ahhh, good times, good times.
That guy didn’t ruin my party!

There is a big one missing
How bout those 2-3 people who u aren’t really good friends with, but u needed a few people to cover paying for the PPV. But at the end of the night they’re like " O shit I totally forgot to go to the ATM I will get u back next time I see u" aka never…. and as far as chicks at the PPV it’s fine as long as they don’t complain they can text and sulk all they like, most PPVs take about 2 hr 45mins, if I have to sit through shit like “He’s just not that into you” and the Lake House then they can suffer through a UFC PPV.
i have to admit....
i am the emotional superfan.

lol
so am I. If Rich Franklin, Jason Mayhem Miller or Aaron Simpson fight, I am the emotional superfan.
I find it funny because the guy in the picture who wants to fight people, is actually in a local band around here in Cincinnati and my band has opened up for them 2-3 times, and I don’t even think they like UFC, they like WWE.
this list is missing the “flip floppers” or the guy’s who are going for their favorite fighter so long as he is winning
I invited a buddy over for when St. Pierre fought Hughes the second time. After the first rd, with Hughes saved by the bell, my friend asked if I could change the channel to find out the score in the hockey game. We haven’t spoken since.
Lol, I’m the guy that watched every single UFC (like many here I assume) even if I don’t tell others, I let them know with subtility…but the guy that piss me off the most is the one that don’t know shit and criticize fighters because they don’t go for guillotines every time they stuff a takedown.
Oh, and there is a guy that enjoy MMA but can’t help noticing how every move look gay.
You don't look like a Tanaka.
haha i know what ur talking about. thats my dad. we always invite a lot a lot of people sometimes room full of buddies to watch fights at my house. my dad is usually on a stool in the kitchen saying o cool and then o wait that looks kinda gay why dont they move wtf north south eww im going up stairs watching my hockey bla bla
How About The Guy
That hates a fighter that night just because somebody else at the party is a fan? Man, I used to go to some UFC parties with a guy like that it it pissed me off. And if the guy that he wanted to win actually won he’d be rubbing it in everybody’s face. The funny thing is that he didn’t even like him BEFORE the fight.
"I will do nothing lightly. When I walk, I will walk heavily. When I fight, I will fight with conviction. When I speak, I will speak strongly. When I love, I will love with everything"
HAHAHA WOW i just read this for the first time and now i have to realize how annoying i must really be. o well some people dont like certain things about themselves i probably really am the emotional super fan. honestly the night randy and nog fought the rest of the night i was hugging talking about awesome the fight was trying to get more people drunk pooring shots instigating beer pong and kings cup LOL… the night hendo knocked out bisping same thing. then the night wanderlei lost to rich franklin.. HAHA that was a couch night for me. lol funny ass article i must say
everyone always busts my balls cause i can’t stop moving during the fights. i tend to lean left and right, etc. kinda like playing video games – i guess i think i’m there… makes me wonder why they’re more interested in watching me than the ppv?
It’s not so much them being more interested in watching you as it is that you’re bigger than the image on the t.v. and unless they have zen levels of focus on the fight, they can’t help but notice you moving around.
I do a little of the play by play thing for my girlfriend coupled with the “oh shit, my instructor just showed us that this week.” She doesn’t seem to mind though because although she’s new to MMA, she’s been taking Shotokan since she was a little girl and only recently stopped because of her studies and jobs. So it’s fun watching with her so far.
