It started in one of the very first events with Keith Hackney and carried over into pretty much everyone one of his wins, he did it to Kimo atleast twice and countless other guys along the way, trying to drive home his message of "how dare you enter here with me"... i just HATED that kind of poor sportsmanship, it was arrogant and dirty.
Then you get into more modern day guys like Rusamir (sp?) Palhares, Bigfoot, Anderson Silva (his disrespectful clowning is legendary) and many, many others... just constantly being showoffs, poor sports, arrogant, dirty, pick an ugly word and they love to do it, too many of them really views themselves as superior people... Palhares for instance, just got kicked out of UFC for breaking a guys arm long after the ref jumped in, just wouldn't let go in true Royce Gracie style.
Take this Bigfoot vs Hunt matchup, it ends in a draw and that big mongoloid mfer wants to get up there later and say...
"Dahhh bahhh yahhh, i jus wanna erraone to know i hurta ma back ina twainin yahhh (as the aussie crowd boo's their guts out) wisha ahhh coulda gibben u daaa win"
Making excuses for not winning, its just typical of too many of those guys... in the final analysis, yep... i hate most brazilians, people who think Americans are arrogant need to take a good look at these extremely unsportsmanlike people.
Not all are though, just one prime example is Wanderlei Silva, i used to hate that guy, but then i watched an interview where you really got a feel for the guy... humble, Christian and shy... much like a guy like Hines Ward, he's an animal on the playing field but a retiring gentleman off it, he changed my tune on him for sure.
But too many of those mfers are terribly poor sports, arrogant to the roof... almost anytime i watch, i'll root for ANY nationality besides those guys.
