second, since you're a member from 2006, guess you know what's up on sherdog and realise why all the hate you've been getting. There's a lot of punks here on sherdog and most of the time they're wrong but they may be right this time.
i think that fight only made you enemies.
i've never fought a pro fight in my life, i'll admit that and i don't know how i would react in that situation (broken foot and everything)
BUT... i know i would try. Try my best. And get KOed brutally. But I would keep my integrity and (most) of my fanbase.
i can guess how strong Nathan is. I can imagine how it must feel him almost KOing you for 3 times. But give it a try... You're a fighter, to a couple of people, even a rolemodel, don't do what you did...
I can guess how it felt to you, but it looked aweful to me (and 99,99% of other people out there). I know you fight for yourself, not for the fans, but if it wasn't for fans, you'd be brawlin with Kimbos of the world in the back of a bar for 10$...
Who are the fighters with the biggest fanbase? Except Fedor, those people are Randy, Wandy and Saku. All of them were KOed. All of them suffered losses, they lost in a BRUTAL fashion.
but they tried... and fought their heart out. (not saying you don't have heart, but if I was to judge solely on your last performance, i would say that)
Did anybody judge Wandy that he lost to Cro Cop? No, and no one ever will, cause he went in there, against a man who had more power, skill and technique... and FOUGHT.
I hope you can learn from this, i just hope you bounce back, cure all of your injuries and prove to all the haters wrong... for your sake...
