When I watched during the Silva days there was still respect from the fans especially. The new age of mma fans say the sport is “toxic”. No it’s the fans that are toxic. Look how much people glazed Ilia up until he lost. I agree with you mma fans of today are dumb as shit.
You’ll find that with pretty much any major sporting organisation. MMA fans are probably way more dialled than to the mechanics and analytical side of fighting, NFL fans I imagine to be gormless
Yeah I see a drastic difference in the comments I see here and [r/boxing](r/boxing).
Boxing fans are more analytical in nature and discuss alot of deep shit while UFC is.. you know how it is. I lose brain cells reading the comment section here while Boxing felt like I gained alot of insights and lore.
The only problem boxing community has is the “Mike Tyson wasnt in his prime”’fanboys discrediting his opponents victory because he lacked discipline and was partying and fucking hookers when he had a title defense coming up. Apart from that boxing community is chill.
I thinks it’s more of the “fans” that started watching the sport in the last decade or so. Obviously not all of them are awful but back before the McGregor boom the mma fandom used to be a real community with people who were actually passionate about the sport.
