Exactly! Word for word, I felt this way. (Interestingly, I guess his parents were commune-living hippies; I would have figured him for the Ian McCall/Justin Levens rich SoCal white boy crowd.)
Once he'd lost a few fights, gotten a few years older, and started taking younger fighters under his wing, I started to like him a lot better. By the end of his career I was a fan. Seeing him and Cruz squash the beef at the Fox desk after his last fight was actually kind of sweet, because you know Cruz wouldn't actually say something nice like that if he didn't mean it, lol.
