Professional fighter criticizes colleagues for overreacting to online hate

An MMA industry figure criticized professional fighters for giving excessive attention to online critics and haters. The commentator, who claims to personally know fighter Azamat Murzakanov and wishes him well, expressed surprise at how professional fighters react to strangers on the internet whose opinions should be irrelevant to them. He specifically called out the ineffective argument fighters often use: "achieve something first, you've never lifted anything heavier than beer." The post argues that fighters should understand these critics spend their free time watching fights, which itself provides value, and fighters shouldn't be so easily triggered by comments. The core message emphasizes that even negative attention from viewers has inherent worth in the fight business.
