To begin with, I literally never said "you need to respect the sport", I said you need to stop being entitled as it is not about you or me, they're the players that know what or what not to respect. Learn to read. Also making money has nothing to do with fans, yes, you clearly don't know business if you think otherwise, does any of Nintendo's practices seem fan friendly to you? 😂 The exact opposite actually, yet one of the most successful companies ever. Oh wait, your foolish bum will probably say that's not combat sport? Then how about any of "Money" Mayweather's exhibitions 🤔, you could literally get hundreds of examples. You also obviously don't realize the shaddy shiz that goes behind the scenes of UFC? Their only concern as a business is to "organize" (a word you seem not to understand the meaning of) the events and fights, what happens inside those fights is up to the fighters, and it's your choice as a viewer of whether you follow the promotion or nah. You just enforced my belief that you need to grow up, or perhaps you just might be ignorant, in that case continue to be a snob and get used by corporations, you do you boo 😘.

      I love how Izzy gave the fans what they wanted though. He went in there and let him show off his skills and they traded back and forth. Felt like an exhibition almost. Felt like he was shipping him off with a good farewell. Then you have douche bags like Uriah Hall who try as hard as they can to knockout old men but are still barely able to.

Sorry. Anderson retired he was still in the top10 of his division , he won a round against Israel , wich means what it means. Guys like Jose Aldo STILL in the top 5 TODAY 35 years old , in a division full of killers , Franky Edgard was a generation before Silva , Romero before he left . You want more names ?
