I never wanted him to fail, but I wouldn't say he succeeded. He beat some bums and single-handedly brought down EliteXC with his loss to Petruzelli.

I've always enjoyed watching him fight, even though he was never really a threat in MMA.

I'm not saying he didn't fail, I just never got why the MMA community seemed to have such venom towards the guy.

I don't remember the venom, but if I had to guess it would be because they promoted the shite out of him when everyone knew he wasn't a great fighter. Idk. Pretty silly reason to root for failure. But if I've learned anything from the MSB, it's that people will hate on athletes for the most petty of reasons.

Can't hate the guy for moving the needle.

A street THUG being put up on a pedestal just because he beat the hell out of inferior dudes in someone's back yard? Our society is so damn skewed!

How is it skewed?

ETA: And what exactly makes him a THUG? Other than being BIG, BLACK and SCARY LOOKING.
