I train to fight. To fight you have to have a fighters mentality. Sometimes that mentality exaggerates and shows your flare, but seriously you really have to be pumped up and have that testosterone going to go fight for 15+ minutes.
It doesn't take away from being humble or learning the martial arts and where they came from. Now one person being being arrogant over the top happens in both worlds but jeez who can't be happy for winning a fight for money. It's pride in there work. It gives them another job. I will be estatic if I win over 2k for winning an amutuerfight and alot of those UFC, Pride, WEC people make more then I do in 2 years with one fight. Seems worth it to me to say something and love life.
Now that doesn't mean I don't love to learn my martial arts or disrepect them by showing ego time to time, its an individual thing and we should not be held responsible for others actions. There are winners that are more graceful but they don't come back to the big paydays as someone thats exciting to watch. It's about the money there.
