MMA fans

I was just at the past WEC event and I was pretty disappointed with the fans of Sacramento. They were so quick to boo the athletes. It was as if there were ten thousand "Just Bleed Guys" in attendance. Its so frustrating hearing people boo or talk as if they can actually fight any better than the two in the cage. Behind me was a typical drunk girl shouting out obscenities and words of encouragement for Razor Rob like "go whitey!" And spewing ignorant comments like how "black guys aren't good wrestlers." She would constantly drop names of her trainers like Tim Mckenzie and Scotty Smith. The worse was when she was commenting on someone's guard she said "Oh wow he has a really good guard" meanwhile his guard was completely open, the other athlete just wasn't trying to pass. The drunk guys to their left were placing dollar bets based on the fighters ethnicity, and would refer to them by the color of their shorts. There was also another fight that wasn't scheduled on the card, this fight took place in the crowd. Another thing I was amazed by was the amount of monster trucks in the parking lot. My brother and I were in his little four cylinder Suzuki looking like a baby in a sea of giants. Maybe thats just how people are in Sacramento, being from San Jose I'm more open minded and liberal so maybe I just don't get it up there. There were a few cool people in front of me and to my right. Very intelligent MMA fans who I enjoyed sitting next to. If it wasn't for them, I could have had a miserable experience while watching some great fights. Its just sad that the "bad" MMA fans are much louder than the "good" MMA fans, I just wish they would be more respectful to the athletes and the sport.

I agree the fans showed very little respect for the sport or its athletes. Too much booing.

lol @ the monster trucks. say no more.....

that reminds me.... back in the early 90's when one of my freinds said how "gay" it looked to see guys grappling... guess what? i took his ass to the ground sooo fast, got him in a rear naked choke, made his ass tap.... ONLY then, he had a new found respect for sport....

Thats so dumb when people dislike MMA because they think its "gay." Its very ignorant to not like something because its "gay." Thats funny you made your friend tap.

bunch of idiots booing..... that's my version of wwe fans.....

It sucks that the event was full of "typical fans". days like this make me miss Pride Fighting more, their fans were much more respectful. During fights you can hear pins drop.
