“With great power comes great responsibility.” This line from the movie Spider Man was proven true last weekend at UFC 139 when we saw fan-favorite Stephan Bonnar booed by UFC fans for the first time.
Bonnar managed to notch a one-sided victory over The Ultimate Fighter cast member Kyle Kingsbury. But although the fight ended in a one-sided fashion in favor of Bonnar, the audience still seem to dislike the way the fight unfolded, as the majority of the battle occurred on the ground.
Even though Bonnar, who is also a former cast member of the reality show The Ultimate Fighter, showcased a lot of skills on the ground, the fans seem to prefer to see him banging on the feet because of his past performance against Forrest Griffin.
The question after the fight: Do fans expect too much from Bonnar?
Luckily, he’s not alone. Here are my list of fighters who seem to have a responsibility to please the audience.
