Your favorite fighter and why?

[Hunterchilla]

Mine is wanderlei silva, because his extemely aggressive style, his muy thai skillz, his "look", and his ability to be bad ass in every position.

[Zoupa]

Randy Couture. Incredibly gifted and seems like a very nice guy. Also because I've been watching him for a very long time.

[nuttybl]

probably genki sudo before he retired as he had teh dancing skillz
it could be Kid but hes off for the Olympics
so it is probably Gomi as i like his fighting style

[bones9401]

Matt Hughes because he's cockier than a barnyard rooster and Dan Henderson because he'll fight anybody at any weight (including wanderlei silva who he knocked the f*ck out!!!). In fact, I'd like to see Matt and Dan throwdown...what a scrap that would be.

[Wowstrongcut]

i really like tito ortiz's ground and pound..

but overall i like joe stevenson the best hopefully he will get his shot at the title after sherk fights hermes..

Hughes would get the **** beat out of him. Henderson is just as strong as hughes and his wrestling is just as good, but his standup is years ahead of hughes.

[97srad750]

Chuck, because I like his unorthodox style. He's a finisher, and he's the anti-Tito. But I also like Rampage, because of his slams and his charisma. I'm really torn for their fight.

this man is the epitome of his various nicknames, especially " the iq wrestler "
not only is he very charismatic and creative with his ring entrances(im not too fond on the whole gimmick like flashy entrances) but he does back it up with strong showings within the ring.
sure he doesnt have the most impressive record but that is due to the fact that hes competed at so many diffrent weight classes, and a few points of his career literally fought with his knees dangling on what little tendons there were.
i am simply amazed by the whole catch wrestling/submission wresting style he embodies. The idea of sacrificing himself to eating a clean strike and then to catch that into a takedown or counter... he is simply amazing.
I was amazed at the fight he had against rampage, rampage overpowered him in every aspect of the fight but the outcome was always technique over brute strength.
Hes lost to wand in brutal fashion a few times but he ended up joining chute box to correct what mistakes he made instead of developing an idiotic rivalry.

he truly is the greatest

[JesusTookMyBike]

Fedor.

He's such a great, calm, fighter. I also very much like his fighting style.

Take a look at him in the ring, He doesn't ever act like an idiot. Never talks **** outside the ring. Seems like a really down to earth guy in interviews.

He's my idol.

[eating crayons]

Don Frye or Randy Couture.

both are just badass

[Resolution]

Bas Rutten

Technical god and fights with his brain aswell as his fists. Also i love his 7 disk dvd boxset on fighting lol!

[Mindripper]

QFT. I'll go with the man.

[RelentlessChaos]

Hes banned. But i did like tito a lot also. And joe stevenson.

haha.

I really like chuck, and randy. Then for the lesser known, it would be Stevenson.

[Deja_Entendu]

I'm a big fan of Anderson Silva. Honestly I never really followed the guy until he crushed Chris Leben, and even after that fight I didn't think he deserved a fight against Rich Franklin. At the moment the 185 pound division in the UFC is a little weak and he put some life into it. I think some flaws in his game got exposed by all people Travis Lutter, but he pulled through and still remains the champ. I would really like to see Dan Henderson fight Anderson "The Real Spider" Silva

Yup. Him and Jon Fitch. Fitch is a beast, has great work ethic, classy, humble and an all around nice guy (read some of his interviews).

[patr10t]

Chuck Liddell - Great sprawl, awesome power, calm under fire, and best counter punching in the business.

Karo Parisian - Heart for days.

Randy Couture - Amazed at what he can accomplish and how he performs at his age.

great to know that someone here agrees with me
saku is a very overlooked fighter

[badasszach]

Bas Rutten

agreed! hells ya

[Reservoir Dog]

butterbean because he's a local guy and he hits harder than pretty much anyone. you stand and trade with the bean its lights out.

[lacey23]

I don;t watch a ton of MMA but I'de say Wanderlei Silva. Mostly because of his fight with rampage when he kneed him 15-20 times in the face, and the staredown. Exciting fighter

[bluzman259]

I always enjoyed watching Royce Gracie back in the day.

[The Protagonist]

I'm going to go on a limb here and say Georges St. Pierre. My other choices would have been Cro Cop and Rampage Jackson. But I will give it to GSP because he is a rising star. Yes, he lost to Serra, but if the fight were to happen again which it no doubt will, I will again put my money on GSP. He beat Hughes with straight up technical skill, and he is a class act. He's also pretty athletic, granted he isn't slamming people down Rampage style, but dude made a spinning backflip off the ground after he beat Hughes.

plus he put out some pretty badass Kyokushin Karate moves in his fights

[mackinmack]

Fedor.

He's such a great, calm, fighter. I also very much like his fighting style.

Crocop.. hes the one who made up my mind on joining Kickboxing.

[izzm]

Karo Parisyan. One of the most talented fighters out there. And every fight he is in is exciting. He constantly fights quality opponents and the guy brings it every time.

[likeke34]

I have 2 favs, Penn and Machida

Penn because he brings it at every single weight class and although he lost his last few i personally believe the better fighter doesn't always win plus it helps that he's a fellow Hawaiian and as a fan I'll always root for someone i can relate too in some way like most everyone else...

Machida because he's the first traditional Karate crossover i've seen, but i'm worried that if he gets caught square he might not be able to take it since i have yet to see his chin tested by someone with a 1 punch KO... I also think he's kind of crazy for using certain karate techniques like his Ashi Barai against penn or the front hand jab parry kyakuzuki against heath, i mean they work in tournaments but personally i wouldn't use it in an mma match...

But hey, it's been working for him so far, so wtf do i know lol

[Mark_ey]

Wanderlei Silva has a heart of a lion, puts it all out on the line, fights to the death if need be, a true warrior

Fedor as well, smart fighter always adjusting his game plan very well rounded and has excellent hand speed

[steve39]

wanderlei - aggressive and like his style. i always watch his fights
serra - love his style, rising star ( knew he would beat GSP) and he's local to me

[thephoenix]

GSP, he is a well rounded fighter, he's always exciting to watch but what I really like about him is he's such a nice guy, extremely grounded, and really great for MMA.
