Default So who really should just watch WWF?

Hi guys,

I fear im going to get a rep for being the miserable guy in this forum, but i find myself compelled to start another thread moaning about something!

As most will know last Saturday 104 took place at the Staples center in LA.
I had the great honour of being there in the crowd to watch what turned out to be an amazing night!
OK so some decisions might have been questioned, although i have addressed this in a previous post, the only bad decision of the night i think was in Cain Valasquez fight i think it was stopped a little prematurly!

My rant though is about the fans! not only how they reacted to the Machida fight decision, although i think this was awful! but how they reacted all the way through the evening! I think the word arrogence sums it up most!
I pride myself in being a MMA fan as much as an MMA fighter, and with this 'status' comes the responsibility of knowledge. Knowledge of the sport, the fighters, the techniques and rules as well as other things, and part of this knowledge is knowing that fighters don't always have to be smashing the **** out of each other with haymaker punches for them to be fighting! Being pinned against the cage, or locked on the floor is still fighting, but requires interlect aswell! The arrogance of the so called fans on Saturday was appalling, booing (with a majority committment) anytime anything other than a slug-fest was happening!
I can put up with big fat idiots who have never trained a day in there lives shouting 'elbow him in the kidney' when watching a fighter attempt to sink a triagle choke from half guard, but booing everytime the pace of the fight slowed really annoyed me and somewhat spoiled the night.

Ive got one piece of advice for anyone reading this that is like that (and i hope we can expect more from our loyal members) but you might want to tune in to WWF instead if thats what your watching for, maybe more your wave length.
