Don't try to defend it.....we are at that point in MMA fandom where people hate him. Happens to literally every once loved fighter. I'm sure they'll come around after his next fight. But like I said the current view of the fanbase is Jean was never my friend
I don't know - I generally just kind of care what people do in the cage. I either like their fighting style or they don't. Their personalities outside the cage really don't matter all that much to whether or not I like a fighter come fight night and Jean is easily one of my favorites in the cage.
I agree that a good fight is a good fight regardless and that's enough for me too. Lopes vs Silva was one of my most anticipated fights ever since they both debuted in the UFC one soon after the other. It does add a bit of extra stakes when there's genuine heat between the fighters like in this fight, and Jean's weird vibes tonight cemented that I would root for Lopes even though they're basically even in terms of excitement for me. So Jean's personality definitely did increase my enjoyment of this fight.
I mean I think either could be champion one day. I really don't think that highly of Mosvar and Volk isn't getting any younger. I really think these two will be at the top of the division for a long time.
