He's not wrong. Rashad Evans one of the most humblest fighters for years, and he was by far one of the most hated. Was labeled as "cocky and arrogant".

They liked Rampage because he's "funny". He made em laugh like the minstrel shows. Jon jones was labeled a snitch, cocky, arrogant, fake, cheater, adulterer, etc PRIOR to his issues outside the cage. Can't forget about DC either. Guillard was called arrogant and a cokehead. Keep in mind that mmas most popular fighter today is the most "arrogant" fighter in mma history

Gullard isn't arrogant, but he is a cokehead. Melvin got suspended for using coke last summer, Melvin is pretty much his own worst enemy :mjcry:

Guillard was suspended one year by the Kansas Athletic Commission (KAC) back in August after failing an in-competition drug test in relation to his bout with David Rickels on July 22, 2016. The commission cannot lawfully release the name of the substance Guillard tested positive for, but sources said it was cocaine, which Guillard has popped for previously in his career.

After agreeing to go to rehab and completing the program, Guillard’s suspension was reduced to six months. The Louisiana native still had to pay a $10,000 fine and his knockout victory over Rickels was overturned to a no contest.

KAC boxing commission Adam Roorbach confirmed that the commission unanimously voted to reinstate Guillard after he successfully completed rehabilitation. He said the parties came to an agreement, because it was a recreational drug and stems from a drug issue, not blatant attempt to cheat.

Woodley should train with MVP

black fighters need to help each other, he could build up MVP's wrestling and he MVP can show him how to counter wonderboy's basic ass karate

wonderboy is a very limited striker, if you don't over extend he can't do anything

Woodley should be calling Mike Tyson to show him the leaping left hook, he would knock wonder boy out in the first round

UFC has the most :mjpls: fanbase of any sport. Sherdog may as well be groundzero of the Trump supporter, internet tough guy demographic.

that's pretty much what their news/politics board is like. about 85% of those posters seem to be alt-right, pro-trump, anti-sjw/blm/muslims/mexicans/leftists/libtards/beta/cuck/etc.

shyt is :hhh:

You're speaking on hear say that has nothing to do with how fans view him. Its irrelevant.

MM isnt promoted nowhere near as much as conor. Ufc hype machine plays a huge role in how the fighters are accepted.

What's hearsay? The Rashad shyt or mighty mouse?

When it comes to Rashad I'll take the word from people that trained and worked with him over some random coli poster going off of his public persona.

Conor being more popular than mighty mouse isn't as simple as "The UFC is racist." That's just fukking stupid. BREAKING NEWS: THe flashier more exciting finisher who literally cuts WWE promos, knocks guys out and stages ridiculous antics at press events is going to get more attention than a tiny, professional wrestler who isn't a knockout artist.

The rashad part. Gym gossip has nothing to do with how mma fans view him. I never mentioned MM until you did, but it is a fact that hes barely promoted compared to conor. Its clear to see.

Idek why you're comparing conor to MM. This is about the fan base shytting on black fighters while giving passes to Perry, conor, cerrone, etc

:heh: I don't give a fukk about how MMA fans view Rashad, if some random person has a romanticized view of someone and it's not true, it's not true. And it's not gym gossip, I'm going to leave it at that though because it's borderline snitching and I don't want to turn it into that.

I brought up mighty mouse because Tyron compared his lack of promotion to Conor in his ESPN interview. But there are reasons outside of a fighter's skin color as to why one gets more promotion over another. Another shocker, fanbase of largely white misc/sherdog cacs is biased towards white fighters.

I don't give as shyt what fans think, we all feel how we're supposed to feel, but it's lazy and stupid to just say fighter A isn't promoted solely because of his race over fighter B when there are other factors involved.
