They feel the dedication, the loyalty, the commitment of someone trying to do something great, or to prove to something either to yourself or your kids. You have to be committed to something.

Bellator MMA’s Kimbo Slice recently talked to MMAFighting about his popularity and gave his reasons for why fans seem to enjoy watching him fight.
