MMA is a competition and to chant "USA" during fights just because the fighter's from the same country as you is the stupidest thing. its not just at UFC 58 either, i was watching couture/belfort I and noticed it there and in the first UFCs people would chant USA in royce gracie's matches and didn't care that he was the best grappler we had seen at that time. MMA is a competition, not a war. when i watch a fight, i'm rooting for the best fighter, not the guy from my country. | I agree 100% with you
I didnt like the idea of making it USA vs Canada too cuz as you saw it caused animosity. It started a lot of disrespectful actions and I felt bad for GSP for the most part cuz he was tryna win over the crowd, trying to apologise for his accent and everything he really didnt want to get boo'd.. almost felt like GSP felt he did something wrong.
GSP is probably the most humble MMA fighter there is right now, hes the last person that deserves to get boo'd.. hes a class act.
