A commentator expressed surprise at how professional fighter Azamat Murzakanov responds to online critics, questioning why fighters pay so much attention to strangers whose opinions should be irrelevant to them. The analyst, who claims to know Murzakanov personally and wishes him well, criticized the common fighter defense of telling critics to "achieve something first" or noting that critics "haven't lifted anything heavier than a beer." He argued that such arguments are ineffective and that fighters should stop being so triggered by comments from people they will never meet. The commentator emphasized that even negative attention from viewers who spend their free time watching fights has value for fighters' careers. He suggested fighters need to develop thicker skin regarding social media criticism.
