I think you should be allowed to like or not like a fighter for any reason you choose, or even for no reason at all.

i used to dislike urijah faber for no reason, and now i extremely like him for various reasons. i agree. However, BJ Penn has a brother named after Ronald Reagan and when he loses badly enough his mom campaigns to make the government let her watch GSP in the shower.

I like fighters who are good at what they do and they put on exciting fights therefore I like Ronda Rousey.

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.

Yeah but those fighters are also...people? Is it really so hard to believe a person from a poor background would find inspiration or cheer for a professional fighter who dug his way out of or was still dealing with poverty? It's not about 'hang the rich' it's about relating to people's experiences.

I never argued against that at all. I even posted that I love underdog stories and I root for guys like that all the time. I was only pointing out that to me it's weird to hate BJ Penn solely because he comes from money and used that to become a good fighter. All I asked was for manyak to expand on his reason since I figured there was more to it than that. I didn't say he was wrong, just that I found it strange.

It's not strange and you're overthinking something really simple to an embarrassing degree.

Yeah, it's natural to hate people for having money.

Healthy, too.

There's a difference in "coming from money" and "being a spoiled little bitch". BJ Penn is the latter. It may require some nuanced thought processes to get to this conclusion. Be careful out there

It's bullshit, Tom Hardy's character in Warrior lived with his dying mom while the guy who played Luke Skywalker's uncle grew up with Nick Nolte in a more stable envoirment.

I saw that before you added the sass at the end. Anyway, hey, I never said BJ doesn't have a whiney personality and retires every time something doesn't go his way. This whole bad argument stemmed from Ronda Rousey getting better training than her opponents and BJ Penn was thrown in as having a similar advantage. All I was addressing was that aspect of it. I didn't get into talking about how Ronda and BJ Penn are as people, just what kind of training they were afforded growing up.
