There are lots of MMA fighters, past and present, that have gathered really large followings from fans. Who is your favorite fighter and why? Is it because of technique, explosiveness, or they just put on a good show?

My favorite fighter currently is Lyoto Machida. Even though a lot of people give him crap for being "boring" and "careful", I think that his technical skill is one to be admired. He was the only fighter that ever gave Jon Jones any trouble standing up. His style is really laid back and he focuses on the counter-attack. When fighters get impatient with Machida they often end up sleeping.

I personally like the Korean Zombie, Jun Chan-Sung. Dude is a monster, he eats punches like its nothing and is relentless.

Korean Zombie all the way. That Twister submission over Leonard Garcia, oh man.

I just think he's amazing in the way he fight, just takes blow after blow and can still come at his opponet, plus he's attractive..very attractive :|

They're all D-bags. Reason? Gladly; Because even when they knock the person out they still continue to beat them, even though the fight has clearly ended.

When you have all that adrenaline in you, you'd be surprised what one can be capable of doing

No, actually =D I dislike WWE, it's boring. I just don't get the reason they keep beating the guy even though they won :/

they rarely do that...I mean rarelyyyy

Really? I've seen that happen very often. Eh, guess we just watch different people fight?

Well yeah, but I still don't see what the point is. You've already given him possible brain damage, why more?

1. Gunnar Nelson, since he's the best fighter we Icelanders have got here and by far the most well known.
2. Renzo Gracie, who used to work with my dad for a while. The man is the nicest guy I've ever had the honor of meeting lmao.
