When Ode Osbourne was dissatisfied with the present situation of most MMA fans
UFC flyweight contender Ode Osbourne recently expressed his dissatisfaction with the way modern MMA fans engage with athletes. Taking to Twitter, 'The Jamaican Sensation' shared his thoughts on the current state of MMA fandom. This was in contrast to earlier fans who would steadfastly support fighters regardless of their outcomes in the cage.
Osbourne lamented that contemporary MMA followers tend to abandon athletes after a loss:
"MMA fans are not what they use to be. Fans use to rock with you til the wheels fall off. Now they treat us just animals for them to bet. I appreciate all the REAL fans out there who’s rock’d with me win, lose ,or draw. Love you all for real."
