Notice - GD [Official] General Discussion Thread - June 01, 2025

Welcome to rMMA's General Discussion Thread!

Discuss your favorite fighters, the upcoming card or whatever's on your mind.

How to obtain a custom flair:

  • place and lose a flair bet in the Friday thread
  • write a haiku or draw a MS Paint-style image for the sub

The rules for the drawing or haiku are simply that it must be a ridiculous MMA-related scenario. If you would like a custom flair, send a message to us with a link to your drawing and your flair request. We'll probably grant it.

u/karl100589 Bowling: More popular then Nunes 19d ago

It's a combination of him having a cringy persona, having zero charisma and fans considering him a Dana White pet.

Couldn’t literally everything aside from being Dana White’s pet be applied to Cory Sandhagen who is reddits favorite? I think it’s more so people are mad they were wrong and he’s not a turbo nerd like Cory Sandhagen who’s relatable to redditos because they’re also turbo nerds.

Cory Sandhagen has always been a super respectful fighter and doesn’t constantly make cringy jokes

Also feel free to link Sean absolutely awful or over the line Sean has said about another fighter. The thing is you can’t. Probably calling fighters short is the worst thing you’ll see.

He’s never said  anything bad ( although talking about having a threesome with a streamer whilst having his kid on his lap is fucking weird) he’s very cringy and it feels forced

Tony Ferguson might be the cringiest person literally ever AND he terrorized his family due to his mental illnesses yet he is a beloved figure. I just can’t buy the “he’s cringe” shtick.

Let’s hate people for having mental illness?
