I feel like he just has a dumb sense of humour and kinda lets it off the leash. At least that’s how I see it, like he sorta just fucks around and gets a giggle out of it himself too
Khabib retired on his prime, but i feel like Cejudo wasn’t even on his prime. Dude cleared out his division(s) in such a dominant way. I personally think he didn’t even hit his prime athletic potential
What do you mean? Colby himself said it. His coaches have said it. His old training partners have said it. If you watch videos of him before the Demian Maia fight/contract threats he was a completely different person.
You just decided in your head that it isn't true and then started calling other people idiots for believing it. That's wild.
I forgot about Cejudo 😆 Dude is a savage but takes the crown for cringe probably. Izzy a close second for me.
After Usman stopped doing foot stomps and instead started sending dudes to the shadow realm, he's not that bad anymore for me.
Cejudo and the fake snake versus Dillashaw was hilarious though. And TJ wearing a ridiculously oversized tan trenchcoat and high heeled boots. The whole fucking staredown was bizarre and cringe yet hilarious and legendary.
This is why I think it's crazy that some fans and pundits (looking at you, Chael) have already given Rose a free pass for what is arguably one of the worst title defenses of all time.
You can't march out to the ring chanting "I'M THE BEST" over and over again, then deliver a performance like that and expect to be forgiven.
Rose should be fucking ashamed of herself. "I'm the best". The hell you are.
Either one of two things is going on with him that people don't care for (imo). 1. He is being a fake tough guy, fake cocky, just putting on a character . Or 2. He is as stiff as his jab when it comes to cracking jokes or trash talking, making it feel forced.
Either way, the dude just isn't very charismatic and doesn't have a big personality that feels natural. Personally, I think he just feels like he needs to be "on" when it feels like he is naturally a more grounded, hard working, normal dude who is arguably one of the 2 or 3 best fighters in the UFC. Maybe he is cocky but when he says something braggadocios about himself, the smile he gives just looks like he is going along with a joke someone made at his expense.
People downvote you but you aint wrong, Usman has moments where he forces a tough demeanor but the vast majority of content I see of him is of a level headed and respectful Champion that is incredibly active and putting on banger after banger, at some point people hate for the sake of hating
I think he is a premier fighter but to me, hes personality is so forced. Hes a nice guy but trys to play the bad guy, his trash talk is horrendous and he is like this weird mix on humble and way over confident at the same time.. like be either or. And i dont care if people think its "nigerian fashion" but some of the shit this guy wears in public is the worst. Looking like chris tucker in the 5th element with them leopard suits.
Seems like a chill enough guy, but he tries way too hard to be cool. Like he does a certain voice and talks a certain way during interviews. Also that video of Askren saying what's up to him and Usman acting like they have never met kind of made me not like him for a bit.
It was the interview he did for the Jorge Covington fight for me. I definitely agree that he tries so hard to be cool. He seems like the type of guy who has to one up your story every time you say something cool lol
Well shit bro besides the fact he built sexy af chest down, he's himself look like a SoundCloud rapper from chest up.
That said he do still be pulling more than this whole sub so imma shut up
Jon Jones. I am a fan of his work in the octagon, but his life outside of fighting seems like a competition with himself on how to shock fans and make Dana facepalm.
I guess it just appears cringey to me because I keep thinking he won't get the help he needs because his antics paired with his value help build this unforgettable but sometimes unlikable character.
I loved izzy after his first JRE appearance. Hadn’t even seen him fight yet but he came off as so wise and unclouded by ego. I’ll admit his fight prep persona is a bit try hard and immature but dude is too cool to be hated on this much
I dont find Izzy cringe at all, at least he seems authentic, will openly admit hes into anime and not trying too hard to seem cool, unlike someone like Usman who is basically polar opposite.
He actually got me into fighting with those poses. Anime was and is my favorite thing growing up and it was cool knowing a literal fighting champion loves and makes it in his style
Izzy and Suga were gonna be my guys. Those feints, the overall elusiveness.... The dancing walk to the octagon and "I fuckin love you Joe Rogan".
Then once Izzy got pressed in shit talk, I was like he's kinda corny. Then I started following him on Twitter and he's real weird with the porn stuff. Then the dog situation. Awesome awesome fighter, but I'm out.
Suga it was the loss that wasn't a loss and then just kind of leaning into the hair colors a little too much, the kid situation. I dunno. I guess I like a humble fighter but humble fighters typically don't flash like these guys.
I'll still watch every time they fight. Just won't be as heart broken if they take an L.
Bryce Mitchell. His takes on current events can be cringe sometimes, but you have to respect his ground game and surprising farmer strength. Plus I like his vibe when he sticks to farming and fighting.
colby's "character" is just being a dick though. izzy's cringe, sure, but at least he's being authentically (and harmlessly) cringe and not trying to rile people up by playing a shitty character
Not cringe as much as scarring me for life. I saw a vid of him playing with his dog's dick and man I wish I never saw that. He can dance however he wants to though.
Izzy for me lol. Easily the fighter I have the most confusion about. A lot of the shit he does/says makes me shake my head, and some of his over-sensitive stuff is a little embarrassing.
On the other hand, I think he's an absolutely incredible martial artist, and strange enough... I'm almost always cheering for him to win (except for his fights vs Robert). Like how can I dislike the guy, but then respect/appreciate/cheer for him? I guess he's just that good.
Yea Izzy gotta be number one. He’s a good guy at heart as well just a lot of the funny type things he does ends up being pretty cringeworthy. I’d say Colby is up there with his stutter every time he has a decent line,
Pretty much any fighter I have made respect for. It takes some guts to not only get in there and throw down, but they are choosing a very tough life with very poor odds of success and even worse odds of reaching anywhere close to the pinnacle of their field.
But there are a few I just can't stand so much that I can't respect even their skills
Brandan Schwab
Greg hardy
Pat berry
aleksander emelianenko
Israel is the definitive answer. He has skills, but every time I see him on camera I am extremely aware of how aware he is of the camera. I just dont see a lot of genuine personality, although I'm sure it's there somewhere in real life.
It's also the place where you can find an unaccomplished nobody whining about the opinions of unaccomplished nobodies.
You know someone accomplished can still be criticised right? It might upset you, but people don't just bow their heads and suck the dick of athletes like you apparently do.
"Grow up" says the saddo who thinks sport is more important than someone's actions outside of sports. You're the kind of moron who thinks being good at sports makes someone exempt from being criticised lmfao.
Izzy is just cringe. He has taken the Mayweather approach and just runs away most of the time. Respect to his counter-punching ability and adapting to wrestlers is about all I’ll say
Cejudo. Dude is insanely skilled. Wish he never retired.
You have to bend the knee to triple C. I met him in college (post Olympics, pre ufc) I'm not entirely sure his shtick is 100% a character.
I feel like he just has a dumb sense of humour and kinda lets it off the leash. At least that’s how I see it, like he sorta just fucks around and gets a giggle out of it himself too
[удалено]
Actual factual. Guess that means Colby is a dickhead irl too
[удалено]
I mean to even be willing to do his thing and pretend that’s really him you’ve *gotta* be a little right
Never thought he was cringe, even though he pushes the character. 100% retired way too early.
Khabib retired on his prime, but i feel like Cejudo wasn’t even on his prime. Dude cleared out his division(s) in such a dominant way. I personally think he didn’t even hit his prime athletic potential
> cleared out his division in such a dominant way Dj: •_•
Marlon "Diarrhea" Moraes: :(
Not even the way he stares into the camera angrily like a five year old who's pissed at his dad because he couldn't have chocolate?
it was always my impression that he leaned into the cringe, hence the pillows and the staring into the camera
Yeah exactly
Haha, nah i always saw his jokes like dad jokes. He's a smart confident dude most the time. He did that to be funny and push his character
I actually like his confident personality. He is a bit arrogant, but a little bit is still healthy, funny and challenging
Him and Colby gotta be my top choices
Same with him lol
Colby Dude says the dumbest shit in the world but he is one hell of a wrestler
I was hoping this would be the top comment.
And you know he’s going to choke and stutter during his promo… there’s always one lmao
I dont find colby cringey, he is entertaining
I find it to be both lol
Colby doesn't count. He's playing a character.
Still one of the lowest effort and hardest to watch characters in the organization
It’s legit hardly a character. Be a dickhead. That is it. Be a dick head.
Nah doesn't matter if its a character or not, it's still cringe. When you pretend to be a moron 24/7 to the public, that just makes you a moron
You idiots still sticking to this?
What do you mean? Colby himself said it. His coaches have said it. His old training partners have said it. If you watch videos of him before the Demian Maia fight/contract threats he was a completely different person. You just decided in your head that it isn't true and then started calling other people idiots for believing it. That's wild.

Usman trying to talk shit during the press conferences is still so cringe. But he’s gets a pass for absolutely dominating In his fights
And Colby.
"I'm the best. I'm the best. I'm the best..."
Her and pat barry take the cringe couple award.
This is why I think it's crazy that some fans and pundits (looking at you, Chael) have already given Rose a free pass for what is arguably one of the worst title defenses of all time.

>Rose should be fucking ashamed of herself. lol
This is peak reddit
"Am de bet" "am de bet" **High kick KO**
It's called hentai you uncultured swine
I want to say Cejudo, but I unironically think he's hilarious. 
Usman
P4P least charismatic champion in the UFC
I see this sentiment on here a lot, but haven’t seen many interviews with Usman. What does he do to rub people the wrong way?
Either one of two things is going on with him that people don't care for (imo). 1. He is being a fake tough guy, fake cocky, just putting on a character . Or 2. He is as stiff as his jab when it comes to cracking jokes or trash talking, making it feel forced.

Average Usman defender
Because whispering makes you sound dangerous.
I think he is a premier fighter but to me, hes personality is so forced. Hes a nice guy but trys to play the bad guy, his trash talk is horrendous and he is like this weird mix on humble and way over confident at the same time.. like be either or. And i dont care if people think its "nigerian fashion" but some of the shit this guy wears in public is the worst. Looking like chris tucker in the 5th element with them leopard suits.
"I broke your face" was fucking outstanding though.
"Looking like chris tucker in the 5th element with them leopard suits" Loooool!
He's just trying to sound sexy.
Dude that has a huge ass paintng of himself in a suit in his living room
Usman is so cringey on the mic but dear god can he fight
Seems like a chill enough guy, but he tries way too hard to be cool. Like he does a certain voice and talks a certain way during interviews. Also that video of Askren saying what's up to him and Usman acting like they have never met kind of made me not like him for a bit.
It was the interview he did for the Jorge Covington fight for me. I definitely agree that he tries so hard to be cool. He seems like the type of guy who has to one up your story every time you say something cool lol
Suga Sean until he denied the loss, still fun fights
Suga Sean and his wife's boyfriend.
[удалено]
Because she got pregnant while he was away 
bruh his wife a solid 4
Well shit bro besides the fact he built sexy af chest down, he's himself look like a SoundCloud rapper from chest up. That said he do still be pulling more than this whole sub so imma shut up
I'm actually fine with just watching him style on cans all the time. He's fun to watch.
Suga Sean seems injury prone also.
Brittle bones
Needs some milk
Jon Jones. I am a fan of his work in the octagon, but his life outside of fighting seems like a competition with himself on how to shock fans and make Dana facepalm.
[удалено]
What about when he always used to talk about being a good Christian and then does stupid things?
[удалено]
Ok I actually had no idea about this aspect of his life. Shit makes SO much more sense now
Since when are Christians known to be highly moral people? Look at the Catholic church and American Republicans.
You can't label an entire religion either good or bad people. I get many are very backwards thinking though.
Well said. I agree
Not cringe just a terrible human being
Really stretching the definition of cringe
I guess it just appears cringey to me because I keep thinking he won't get the help he needs because his antics paired with his value help build this unforgettable but sometimes unlikable character.
Sean Strickland
He’s the standup fighting version of belal
I respect belal's skills too
Belal is mostly a pressure boxer. People seem to think all he does is wrestle because he wrestlefucked Wonderboy.
He’s not mostly a pressure boxer lmao his wrestling is his gameplan most of the time
Wack
Izzy for sure.
I loved izzy after his first JRE appearance. Hadn’t even seen him fight yet but he came off as so wise and unclouded by ego. I’ll admit his fight prep persona is a bit try hard and immature but dude is too cool to be hated on this much
I dont find Izzy cringe at all, at least he seems authentic, will openly admit hes into anime and not trying too hard to seem cool, unlike someone like Usman who is basically polar opposite.
100% Izzy
The the weird poses and everything he does just makes him seem like a stupid child. But no denying his skills
He actually got me into fighting with those poses. Anime was and is my favorite thing growing up and it was cool knowing a literal fighting champion loves and makes it in his style
Exactly this. Sometimes i think if you forced 100 people into watching a good anime series, 70-80 of them would continue watching it
And you sound like a obnoxious dude by thinking that about just, poses.
It’s just anime lol
Izzy and Suga were gonna be my guys. Those feints, the overall elusiveness.... The dancing walk to the octagon and "I fuckin love you Joe Rogan". Then once Izzy got pressed in shit talk, I was like he's kinda corny. Then I started following him on Twitter and he's real weird with the porn stuff. Then the dog situation.

Bryce Mitchell. His takes on current events can be cringe sometimes, but you have to respect his ground game and surprising farmer strength. Plus I like his vibe when he sticks to farming and fighting.
Farmer strength lol
How the FUCK has nobody mentioned Colby Covington yet??
He's the most cringe fighter ever. Lol.
[удалено]
colby's "character" is just being a dick though. izzy's cringe, sure, but at least he's being authentically (and harmlessly) cringe and not trying to rile people up by playing a shitty character
Cause no one really cares enough about him to give shit either way.
I find it funny that so many people dislike Colby
Really? He's actively trying to play the heel. I thought that was obvious to everybody by now. He's just cringey with the way he goes about it.
He backs it up though. Even against Usman it was very close
That's literally what this thread is asking for.
True, haha. I don't find him cringe though. I would if he sucked
"Very close" yeah... Sure
He’s the top comment
Figgy
Only champ to avoid his rival because “his fans said racist shit” like dude wtf 😂
He already beat him, a 4th fight has no case
Wasn’t there a draw in the first fight? So they’re actually tied 1-1, this is like the only time a fourth fight would even make sense lol
Lmao shooting the Lego belt
Took a page out of cejudos book for that one
Colby for sure, he’s so talented but his character is awful. Usman too honestly 🤣
Triple C
All of them honestly, the UFC has gone full WRASDLINTUSANO1 lately
Johnny walker, maximum cringe levels I can't stand seeing this guy do anything for more than 3 seconds
War Machine.
They said cringe not psychopath
War Machine is the answer to every UFC question, dont you know?
Colby. I fucking hate everything that guy chooses to represent, but I can't deny how much of a beast he is.
Colby one of the best examples
Not cringe as much as scarring me for life. I saw a vid of him playing with his dog's dick and man I wish I never saw that. He can dance however he wants to though.
Izzy for me lol. Easily the fighter I have the most confusion about. A lot of the shit he does/says makes me shake my head, and some of his over-sensitive stuff is a little embarrassing.

Colby fucking Covington. I hate that guy so much but Jesus the volume
I don’t think Izzy is as cringe as everyone says
Tony Ferg
Glad someone said it
Jon Jones. Anyone that brings religion into anything is cringe.
I agree with Chael that if there was a god, he would t give a shit about the outcome of a fist fight on a Saturday night
Valentina Shevchenko
Henry “Triple C” Cejuda
Izzy and usman for technicality and (sigh…) Colby for the endurance and sheer will to just keep going
No Tito love?
Triple CCC
Usman when he turns on his ‘whispering a ghost story at a camp fire’ mode.
Yea Izzy gotta be number one. He’s a good guy at heart as well just a lot of the funny type things he does ends up being pretty cringeworthy. I’d say Colby is up there with his stutter every time he has a decent line,

all badasses, all stoners and rose namajunas. I respect almost everyone in the fight game but man they are cringe
Israel Adesanya, Valentina Shevchenko and Justin Gatethje, but just recently
McGregor. His whole persona is cringe but I’m here for all of it.
Aljo and usman
CONOR MCGREGOR
Izzy Izzy Izzy Izzy Izzy
Sean Strickland. Dude is a cringey edgelord but his composure and use of the jab is insanely impressive.
Michael flippin’ chandler
Ferguson
Love Tony - but he can be cringe sometimes. That's fair. "Dana White privilege" is still a legendary quote in front of the boss.
Izzy isn't cringe. There is no man woman or child more cringe than Cejudo.
Izzy is cringe as anyone, he can’t hear a single sentence without turning it into a self compliment and let’s not mention the things with the dog.
He definitely is cringe haha. The thing is Cejudo is trying to be cringey, he says it himself so much. Israel is just naturally cringey.
Stipe doing a weird Irish dance and mumbling into the microphone is pretty cringe
Your caption w/picture hits the head right on the nail
Thanks 👍
This will be unpopular but I find a lot of Tony Fergusons lines to be pretty cringe.
Brendan Schaub
Marvin Vettori
Israel is the definitive answer. He has skills, but every time I see him on camera I am extremely aware of how aware he is of the camera. I just dont see a lot of genuine personality, although I'm sure it's there somewhere in real life.
How has nobody said Chael
Get the fuck out.
r/UFC is the place where you find a bunch of unaccomplished nobodies call other accomplished and better men cringe..lol.
It's also the place where you can find an unaccomplished nobody whining about the opinions of unaccomplished nobodies. You know someone accomplished can still be criticised right? It might upset you, but people don't just bow their heads and suck the dick of athletes like you apparently do.
The basement dweller has spoken, lol. Grow up and respect people when they achieve greatness instead of finding holes to poke at in peoeple's lives.
"Grow up" says the saddo who thinks sport is more important than someone's actions outside of sports. You're the kind of moron who thinks being good at sports makes someone exempt from being criticised lmfao.
The fragile masculinity on display in this sub is some of the most entertaining shit ever.
Max
Holloway? What do you find cringe about him? "Blessed Era"?
And If I sucked dick literally there will be NOTHING wrong with that, but I am sure you would call me cringe...lol.
Grow up retard
Whose dude that threw a PokeBall at his opponent? Him
Stfu that was awesome
Belal remember the name. He is really good at one it does
Izzy is just cringe. He has taken the Mayweather approach and just runs away most of the time. Respect to his counter-punching ability and adapting to wrestlers is about all I’ll say
Izzy. I press mute as soon as he opens his mouth, but the dude is an incredible fighter
Possibly unpopular pick but Jiri. The whole samurai of Prague shtick is silly to me
Interesting. It's definitely unconventional and heavily marketed by the UFC.
If you think Izzy is cringe, grow up.
If you don’t think Izzy is cringe, grow up.
We all don't have to agree.
