Again I don't mean to make these comments about just jhell (so again, sorry jhell, this isn't solely directed at you), but...it's been a fascinating observation to me for some time.

There are a LOT of MMA fans that like to post on forums about how weak, boring, uninteresting this or that card is, and who feel the need to announce that they "have no intentions of watching this card" or that they'll "be skipping this card". I mean every damn card you see a fair amount of this stuff.

Do these guys actually like MMA at all? Do they only like the 95th percentile, like I said earlier, and everything else is uninteresting ("mediocre", to use jhell's word) to them?

Or do they just think it's fashionable to appear so blase about MMA that you are willing to torpedo just about every card? Do they think it's somehow a sign of weakness to show that they are looking forward to a card?

I truly don't get it. If it were just a guy here and there or just happened now and then, it wouldn't be worth talking about, but it's such a widespread phenomenon that to me, it makes me question why exactly these guys watch or follow the sport.
