Sam, you were absolutely right for calling these people bandwagon fans. If you didn’t like Rashad a week ago, then there is no way one punch should change your mind. Let’s see if he can KO about 5 more people in a row and compete for another decade. Then you might be able to put him in the same league as Liddell. Until then keep your bandwagon mouths shut! Great article Sam, keep it up.

Rich S. let me explain what what a “Written Warning” is for you because you seem to be a little slower then the average person. A “Written Warning” is when a person is working for a company (lets say a corporate company in this case) and they do something that is considered wrong and is looked down upon in a negative way. That person receives a “Written Warning” the first time and if the issue is not corrected he is fired the next time it happens. Do you follow me so far…………good. In this case the article was so STUPID that the writer who posted it (SAM) should get a “Written Warning” from his “Boss”. Now let me explain that again as if i am speaking to a 5 year old because what i just wrote may have confused you AGAIN because i used big words like “Written Warning” and “Boss”.

Sam’s “Boss” (the person Sam reports to at work) should be mad about how dumb the article was and tell Sam to put more thought behind his work and less bullshit.

I really hope that clears things up for you because if it doesn’t then i think it would be best if you just did us all a favor and stepped in front of a moving bus.

Impress your “bandwagon” friends and acquaintances with the following quote from Tacitus: “Success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan.” Who says an MMA fan can’t be well read and urbane?

Sam……..seriously………….you are an idiot and you should get a written warning by your boss for this ridiculous article. Take a look at about two entries up where i asked you to explain what a band wagon fan is. Again i ask you, do i have to grew up wiht the fighter and be his best friend? or perhaps maybe at least from the same town?? Rashad fought aweful fighters (i include tito ortiz in that group as well) so who is going to give a shit about the guy. He showed potential by knocking out a overweight fat wrestler with a leg kick and beating on Ortiz for 15 minutes. No one will like a fighter until he gives the fans a reason to like him and Rashad finally did. also i have been a fan of BJ Penn and GSP for years now but according to your dumb ass i bet i am a bang wagon fan with them too right!!! I am telling you your ass should get a written warning for coming up with this retarted article. I have written better bullshit in my 10page papers for college in under an hour.

sam i dont respond to your “stir the pot” posts anymore, theyve become too common, and i know they are a useful tool to drum up more site hits, but when u argue that evans is good 30-40 times on same site with same haters hating back eventually u get tired of beating a dead horse, actions speak louder than words, and rashads actions have as usual put a foot in the mouth of all the so called experts. yours truly, rashads most loyal fan since day 1

Yeah your cool because you liked Rashad Evans first. lol. Man, talk about gloating.. ok ok, you were right and everyone else was wrong! cracks me up. I bet you liked Nirvana before everyone else too. who cares if people like him now? He’s a good fighter. I picked him to win, but didn’t comment, because I don’t see a reason to comment on articles. But had to here, because you sound like an idiot. You better pick another underdog so you can gloat about it in a future article. :p

I don’t think ANYONE that likes Evans now after the Liddell fight is a bandwagon fan. Evans is now showing us how exciting of a fighter he can be. He was on the Ultimate Fighter as a Heavyweight which is the most boring division that they could possibly put on the show. I am not saying it’s a boring division in the UFC or Affliction, but on the show it’s painful to watch. Since the show he has fought no name guys besides Tito Ortiz and lets face it Tito is not the fighter he was before. Finally Rashad faces someone that people have a liking for and knocks him out cold. OF COURSE people are going to start liking the man!!!!!! That is how we became a fan of Rampage and Anderson Silva when they first came to the UFC. Are you going to tell me we as fans have to come from the same town (your reference to RedSox Nation) or grow up with the person to not be considered a bang wagon fan. When a person catches our eye and proves that they are a fighter worth watching for the fun and excitement that MMA offers how is that a bangwagon fan. So why don’t you do all of us a favor and supply us with the guidelines that we need to fall under to be a fan of a fighter and not be considered a bandwagon fan. Because for me a bangwagon fan is a person that stops supporting and/or liking a fighter after a tough loss. That is a fan that is as you say a Bang Wagon fan because they decide to jump off when the going gets tough. Dont’ get mad at the world becuase we are now FANS of the guy that knocked what seems to be your HERO out.
