Why was usman being booed?

[Kono dio da!]

Wtf was that shit? He knocked out jorge. What do they want from him? Classless.

 

[Domitian]

They were in Florida.

 

[filthynumber1]

Homeboy lost

Plus wasted

 

[Eiger]

Because he beat Florida Man, man.

 

[BRASIL WAND]

Florida is Jorge’s home turf.


What’s so surprising?

 

[B-Man]

If you beat the hometown boy you get booed.

You know why

 

[Moeshaak Hammer]

They are trash crowd

 

[Thad Castle v2]

Usman moved to Colorado I think

 

[Post Mortem]

Wtf. I wanted to be outraged.

 

[D'z]

1) It's Usman

2) And I can't believe I have to say this to someone with a sherdog account, but Florida, where they fought tonight, is where Masvidal is from.

 

[5thDimensionMMA]

Because he’s black

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

Because he beat Florida Man, man.

great post


Thanks for the laughs

Because it's about who is more popular, obviously. The vast majority of fans are casuals who just cheer for the most popular fighters.

 

[humdizzle]

It's florida.

Alot different from Dubai where every fighter is cheered for.

 

[Quietus]

Masvidal is from Miami and the event was not far away.. but leave it to people to think its a racist thing, because the guy they were cheering was white right? and Colby was cheered when he was showed and not booed?

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

The funniest thing to me about MMA fans is how absolutely clueless so many of them are about sports. Fans cheer for the fighters they want to win and boo the fighters they don't want to win. That is very often determined by geography. Jorge is from Florida. The fight was in Florida. The Florida crowd wanted the Florida fighter to win the fight that was in Florida.

That crowd would have booed anyone who KOed Jorge tonight. It has nothing to do with Usman; those folks don't dislike Usman. If Usman had KOed Jake Paul, they'd have cheered him.

Dude had it been wonderboy who did that shit, everybody would eat that shit up.

The event was in Jacksonville which is like a 5 hour drive from Miami. Still Florida though.
