I can tolerate smug comments and over-the-top confidence like what Ray Billings was doing in the earlier seasons and what Jake Ewert was doing at first... but actively sucking the fun out of a fight just to win like what Jake did in that Huge fight last season was the point where he went too far for me. That was basically spitting in the face of what the competition is supposed to be, which is far beyond simply being unsportsmanlike.

imo what made it irredeemable was when he started back-talking the ref. employing the method he did to fight Huge was petty and extremely counter to the spirit of the competition, but it would have probably been excusable if he hadn't gone for the full "annoying older brother" vibe with it. when the ref tells you you need to back off, you back the fuck off, you don't start with the "not touching, can't get mad! not touching, can't get mad!" type bullshit.
