What's your favorite MMA fighter?

[BigBuddha]

are we forgetting a little guy named matt hughes, wish i had his strength pound for pound

[Papi93]

I would have to say Chuck Liddell. Standup is were it's at!

[ManOnSwole]

Takanori Gomi, you want stand up he's got it covered....you want ground work...well he's got that too.

[ant_8u]

Big men: Andre Arlovski

Little men: George St Pierre

[simm]

Fedor Emeleienko has 2 b the best (is the best) nhb fighter in mma history so far...I train with a guy who fought him in RINGS japan and said he is so strong it is unreal...He even said fedors punching power is so deceptive as he hits unreally hard....The guy i train with has also been in K-1 too,so he really knows what he's talkin bout!!!!

[nalbano34]

Vanderlei Silva or Mirko Cro-Cop. These two are the most exciting fighters IMO so they would get my vote.

I would agree!!!!!!!

[nalbano34]

fedor will never loose.. he is unstopable

They all lose....that is fact!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Red Monster]

Takanori Gomi, Fedor and Aleksander Emelianeko, Matt Hughes, The Iceman, CroCop

and Sean Gannon woot

good thread

[HeavyHitter]

this order... (how long Kimo's the suspension- i know it aint too bad, is he gonna fight in UFC or what?)

Matt Serra
Tank Abbot
Vitor Belfort
Chuck Liddel
Frank Mir
Phil Baroni
Arlofski

[bigbrice]

my favorite is vitor belfort. but prob my all time fav would have to be mark coleman. he was ripped off a few times. or he would have been on top for a long time.

Takanori Gomi, Fedor and Aleksander Emelianeko, Matt Hughes, The Iceman, CroCop

and Sean Gannon woot

Everyone you wrote except for Matt Hughes and Sean Gannon. They are good fighters, I'm just not a big fan.

George St. Pierre!! , He would.. sorry will make make matt hughes his bitch the next time they meet. he has grown so much as a fighter since they last fought. He is the next welterweight champ!!!!!

[sp9]

As far as a grappler based MMA fighter, has to be Vitor "Shaolin" Ribeiro. Multiple World BJJ champion, Multiple Arnold/Gracie No gi champion, and now 13 and 1 in MMA. Will post a highlight of him in another thread that I finished yesterday.

[Hunter]

I really like class acts but I do have my favorites also. I come from a wrestling background so I do favor wrestlers but also enjoy striking.

First favorite-I have to go with Couture. He is a class act and first person to hold two different belts. His wars with Rizzo instantly made me a fan, tied for first Den Henderson a true warrior. He fought above his true weightclass for most of his career. His heavy right hand and great wrestling makes him so exciting to watch

[Big]

I like Royce Gracie, his fight with Ken Shamrock is still one of my favorites.

[bootkampboy]

Fedor is the best!

[trulbfan3]

Chuck Lidell is the man.

[Box This*]

Wandy

Tito

[ITALIANMAN]

Mark Kerr was the man before he got a F*** up.....He was good to watch he man handled everyhone

[TR'05]

Shogun
GSP
BJ
Fedor

[Minimart]

thats hard to pick a favorite fighter but i would have to say Randy Coutoure he is just amazing fighter he knoced off one the best fighters in his prime in vitor belfore and domonated alot of fighters after that first time he fought lidell he tooled him as much respect i have for liddell but liddell got alot better but Coutoure is my favortie fight of all time plus hes a pimp.

[uponone23]

I am a huge sean sherk fan "the muscle shark"... I have been watching his career for a long time... 31-2 and his only losses are to matt hughes and GSP at 170.. He is the 155 champion now. He has wins at 170 over Karo Parisyan, Kenny Florian, Nick Diaz (who is over 6' tall and sherk is 5'6''), and Benji Radach who he fought at a 15lb weight disadvantage.

LOL sorry I'm a big fan.. maybe it's cause I'm short too....

[Standard01]

Fedor of course. Honorable mentions are Aleks, Mirko, Penn, Gomi, Wand, Shogun, Anderson Silva, Chuck, Lawler, Rampage, Kang, St. Pierre, Kid Yamamoto and Ranger Stott.

[Hunter]

Oh Man a fellow sherk lover, he is a great guy plus minnesota born and raised here so gotta support a fellow minnestonan

[vmapper]

Fedor and crocop are elite and on my best list.
how do you beat a guy that is isolated from the public, has his own facility, trainers, cooks, and coaches and trains for life? That was a cool documentary on Emelianenko
And crocop is just awsome all round...and the left kick!
I couldnt imagine these guys in UFC...they would wreck shit up.

[LiL Big Man]

That guy lights up anyone that steps!

His kick is insane.

Also, KOTC has Mac Danzig...Light Weight hits like a truck. But Dana wants him.

GSP is shredded right now...Conditioned to the max...Hughes is in trouble!!

Lil Bigman

[CSAR]

Fedor - slippery, powerful, concentrated Russian cyborg
Crocop - cat-like quickness, hard-striking, focused Croatian kicker
Wandy - scary, intense, insane Brazilian axe murderer
Shogun - wild, balls-out, passionate Brazilian stomper
Hughes - conditioned, size-of-the-fight-in-the-dog, hard-working American pounder

[J.S.N.]

le banner technically is an mma fighter so hes my fave.

[vampishsum]

matt Hughes any man that fights 45 fights and wins is bad ass. you got give mad respect to that ppl he has fought arent losers. any man that fights like 50 times and can walk away and say he won most of them is a stud and dangrous dude.

He's a great kickboxer, but MMA fighter not so much.
