lol me I always have a feeling Fedor is going to lose, or Rashad or anyone I go for. I guess when the opponent looks in better shape you get that feeling hes a better fighter lol.

Dude yeah me too on Fedor lol. My friends and I were watching the first Affliction PPV live and were tripping balls.. "Oh man Fedor's gonna get knocked out in the first 10 seconds"... 36 seconds later, we were happy and drunk.
I get nervous every single time.
It kinda makes the fight better IMO (albeit, more stressing, but better non the less).
What really sucks is when one of your favorites starts loosing (like Chuck Liddell). :|

Abosolutely, when Forrest was fighting rampage, the image of Forrest getting the sh** kicked out of him kept playing in my mind. Over and over again
Also when its 1 of my all time favorites (Randy, Forrest, Mir) i'll be standing and pretending i'm fighting with him. Then my friends are like "Dude, Chill the fu** out" LOL. Sometimes I get waayyy to much into those fights.

nope. it's a contest. a sport. a game. strange things happen and there are so many factors involved that it's really anyone's fight. one could ''get caught''. be fighting injured. just having an off night. maybe he ate some bad clams a few days ago and is not feeling well for the fight. cutting weight can take a lot out of ya'. i'm always pulling for my favs but accept that they may not be getting their hand raised at the end of every fight. then, when they do, it makes it all worth watching. if they don't win, i know they'll be back.

Ever since the first Serra fight, I get extremely nervous watching GSP fight. During the Fitch fight when it was standing, I was on my feet the entire time, seeing the image of the Serra fight flash in my mind. I was actually at the GSP/Penn II fight and I was nervous in the 1st round. The 2nd round was a lil less nerve racking, and I actually was enjoying the fight from the 3rd round on.

Even without money on the line (I don't bet), I am pretty nervous when my favorite fighter is in the ring. I usually start yelling when my fighter either sinks in a submission or wobbles their opponent, this is where I get really into it.
I love seeing fights finishing in dominant fashion, I don't mind watching a descision fight unless it is really boring aka Anderson Silva vs. Scared MW challengers.

when my faves fight (B.J.,CHUCK,KOS,VERA,GONZAGA) my palms get sweaty and I start pacing back and forth as early as 2 to 3 hours before fight time.When they r making their way to the cage my stomach is churning and my mind is racing with all the different ways it could play out.And I'm yelling the whole time like they can actually here me.So yeah I get a little nervous too.

Wand Rampage was the worst i knew Wand should win and he was getting the better of the exchanges, then it looked even, then it was over. But when he got hit, my jaw hit the floor my heart sank. Wand should have won, wand needed that win, wand set his career back 2 years. that was the worst drubbing I've seen a fighter i like take and it sucked soooo bad cause it was against a fighter I dispise

My most fav fighter is Rich Franklin - and the only time I really got nervous and felt he was going to lose was Franklin/Silva II
and I was right
I get way more animated during a fight, and a weak left hand "feels" more devastating if it hits my guy, but I don't think I feel like he is going to lose every time(just that one time.....)
