OK, now that I have posted my top 10 most hated, now let’s do my top 10 favorites. I have been thinking about this for a while and I had to change my list 10 times because I like so many fighters. I know I’m going to catch hell for Brock being on my favorite list, but what can I say I like the big dumb oaf. He made a lot of enemies after UFC 100, but maybe some day that will change. I want to here from you, leave a comment below and name your top 10 favorites. Check out my other list of top 10 most hated MMA fighters.
Chuck Liddell: How can you not like Chuck. Chuck has given us some great fights in his career. I’m sad to see him gone.
Lyoto Machida: The next generation of fighters.
Brock Lesnar: What can I say I like the guy…
Randy Couture: Randy has fought the who’s who of MMA. He always shows class and is a great ambassador for our sport.
Urijah Faber: What can you not say about Urijah, he is one bad ass dude. I can’t wait to see him take his belt back.
GSP: Two years ago, GSP was on my most hated list, but he made a turn around and has gained a lot of respect.
Rampage Jackson: He’s a bad ass and he is funny as hell. We share the same hatred for Rashad Evens. I hope he KO’s Rashad.
Forrest Griffin: Forrest is just a down to earth guy, but after his last fight against Anderson I believe he may have lost some fans.
Tank Abbott: You have to be old school to like Tank . He just wanted to fight and knock someone’s head off. Win or lose, I will always watch a Tank fight.
Jens Pulver: Great guy and heart of a true warrior.

Love the list and agree with everything but Brock Lesnar. He shows zero sportsmanship and is a disgrace to the sport. I can’t wait for someone to kick his ass; it may be a while, but it will happen and I will be there.

Thanks for the comment. I knew I would catch hell for Brock but maybe some day people will change the mind. Most likly after he is beaten and then comes back and win. He might gain a couple fans. May sure to enter the UFC 103 fight prediction contest you could win $50.

Heres my top 10 Favorites
10. Silva “the axe murderer” love watching him go to battle
09. Dan Henderson
08. Royce Gracie hes the original gangsta of the UFC and a true warrior
07. Couture he fights all the time and never looks terrible
06. Machida hes almost gone but ever since his first fight in UFC I’ve loved his skill
05. Lesnar c’mon hes a beast and I love watching his fights
04. Anderson Silva just love this guys skill level always know hes going to win gotta respect his superior game.
03. Diego “Nightmare” Sanchez Heart Heart and more Heart, always in your face and love the way he trains and carries himself so positively. “WARRIOR”
02. B.J. Penn not a popular pick but man his intensity before the bell and his ability to defeat all challengers and the glove licking after the fight just pumps me up. He makes apponents look like the faught a wood chipper, Definetly no.2 on my list.
01. George St.Pierre well I’m Canadian and hes the best, this one was easy, hes a machine and always gives the best quotes before fights. Very respectful towards the sport and apponents, I think thats very important for a Champion to be a great role model and promoter of the sport, oh and he rips people apart too. The Alves fight was incredible! My no.1 without a doubt is GSP!!!!

thanks man.. I would have put Jardine too but I’m a little torn on that one. I took Bader to win at 110 so I didnt want to put him on. I love watching him fight though…He would definetly be in my top 15. You put Koscheck on your list sang. not a popular pick but props for doing so.You should check out…..Final round ufc 109 predictions…… on you tube. I think you’ll laugh.

10 Rampage… he always comes to fight.. when lose or draw… he’s just grimmy
9 BJ Penn..complete package (minus cardio) great skill set & tough..he does cry 2 much!
8 Shogun… complete package… but injury prone..
7 GSP…. great athlete, can do it all..but want to see him in some wars..(test the heart)
6 Lyoto … showing MMA fans the art in martial arts
(tie) Randy.”The Natural”..may not be the best but will grind out the best..gotta love heart
5 Wanderlei.. violence… he is a born fighter and a handful for anyone
4 Anderson… the spider is super talented in all phases and nasty… needs tested
3 Vitor…. might be the most talented MMA fighter of all time..(talented not best)
2 Hendo..Takes on all comers..can out wrestle you or out slug you..but will out work you
1 Royce.. he revolutionized MMA and did it while fighting 3-4 fights in a night… Nobody knew what BJJ was when he started but every fighter makes that part of their trainning now!!!! because of his early dominance!
