And what someone else said about someone in europe fighting in their own country is like an american fighter fighting in his own state, if you never leave your comfort zone, then its hard to see how mentally tough you are outside of your home state.

    Anyways, i think the bottom line is that the fact that the argument comes from people OUTSIDE of america on here, and yet your own fighters say its their dream to make it big here
    I agree for the most part.

    However, they do never say "Its only fair that I be criticised for not having fought in America so far".

    Just cos its your dream to do something, doesnt mean that your credibility and legitimacy should be put under scrutiny or worse completely discredited just because you havent reached your own goals. Your goals might be someone elses dreams.

      Any fighter who refuses to leave the comfort of home, no matter how good the resume is, will be criticized...

        ...Apart from American fighters? Its fair game for them not to leave the comfort of their own home because they are getting paid best there. Right?

                    It fits you perfectly, since you're bitching and crying about something thats not going to change.

                      Not really, considering a). You didnt use it in reference to me and b). You'd be hard pushed to find anyone who agreeds that I'm either bitching or crying about anything.

                      I'm trying to make sense of and show the hypocriticality of some of the people with their one-way-logic around here.
