Does dissatisfaction with a fighter's performance warrant disrespecting him? ...It's not enough to say "I'm disappointed with Kalib's performance and effort in his recent fight; I can not be a fan of a fighter who back pedals the entire fight"?
..and speaking of Lutter, so what if he gassed? ...he tried and lost. He put on an exciting 1st round had had rich in trouble. Do you hate on BJ too?

Look - if Kalib can't take the criticism, he should stay off the forums. Any professional, regardless what their field, is accountable for the work they produce, that's life.
And sorry, Lutter gassed because he didn't try when it mattered... in the 12 months he had to train before his fight. He phoned it in; and this after not making weight for a title shot?!?!?!?!
The difference between him and BJ is that Penn is just on another level talent-wise. He can get away with a shitty work ethic against most. Though I think if he hasn't trained for sherk, he will be exposed, once more.
Again, MMA is a professional sport; fighters on the main card of a fucking PPV have no excuse not to be in peak shape. Anything less is bush league and an insult to the fans.
