MMA guys get so uptight when other ppl analyze or talk about the UFC,you dont need 20 years experience watching that bullshyt to analyze it or criticize it...

Cats like Rogan like you to think its more technical and complicated than it is.So when a new person comes in and doesnt refer to it in there terms with there vernacular they got upset...

Everytime someone shyts on it Rogans go to response is "you dont understand it"
I don't really have an issue when people analyze it, but since combat sports are my livelihood and I've done them since 1999, I do have to admit that there's something that bothers me when people armchair QB the guts/courage/toughness of fighters from the sidelines. There is something different about MMA. And for full disclosure, basketball is my favorite sport. So I'm not even trying to be overprotective about MMA, because a lot of us are a little bit too defensive. You're not wrong about that.

There is something that's different about losing a team sport that isn't the same as getting your ass kicked while being half-naked inside of a cage in front of an audience.

I'm not saying Smith and other traditional sports commentators can't analyze it, but I thought it was tacky for Smith to talk about quitting/not having any heart when a guy has more wins than anyone in UFC history and just got his orbital smashed and broken.

And to be fair, it is super fukking complicated. If I stop paying attention for even 4-6 weeks I'm behind the curve and have students that can fukk me up with stuff I haven't seen before. Every individual sport that makes up MMA is all evolving at a crazy pace right now due to the internet. There are 14 years olds I train with that are doing techniques and sequences that took me years of traveling the country to learn. Jiu-jitsu, wrestling, Muay Thai, boxing, etc. All these sports on their own are immensely fukking complex. Mish-mashing them together and having almost nothing illegal makes it impossible even for pros to ever fully understand the game.

It’s some weird obsession about making it seem like MMA is somehow superior to other sports thus so are it athletes and experts.

They are so arrogant for no reason

I'm definitely on SAS side here, but I would imagine there's one VERY good reason a lot of them are as arrogant as they are :mjlol:
