    There are so many good ones from down the years I was just wondering what others think. Maybe there are some I dont know of. I am going to pick Kazushi Sakuraba as I really enjoyed his victories over Royler, Royce, Renzo and Ryan Gracie back in 99/00 in Pride. He did some crazy things which make him one of my fav MMA fighters. What do others think?

    Bj Penn is Probably my Favourite mainly because of his Style,he's funny and he beat Matt Hughes!My other favs are Shogun,Chuck,Wandy,Big Nog,The Gracies,Crocop,GSP,Randy Etc.Oh and Jeff Monson just because of his Politics and beliefs,and I also give a shout out to "Rowdy" Owen Roddy

    BJ Penn cos he is the most talented guy Pound for Pound. Plus he moved up as far as 205 to fight dudes way bigger than him.

    Shogun cos hes an action hero!! If u dont know him, u will....soon!

    Rampage cos of his personality and no BS fight style.

    Fedor cos hes a machine!

    Randy cos hes a god (and i met him!)

    Big Nog for his small man BJJ and heart

    Crocop cos hes a beast! i like that silent killer thing!

    GSP for his riddum!!! Hes a gentleman!

    Genki Sudo cos hes a nutter (and a great grappler!)

    Really enjoy watching Gomi, Shaolin, anyone in UFC 155 these days (Tyson Griffin, Roger huerta etc), Kid Yamamoto, Sakurai, Kang, Anderson Silva, I probably could sit here all night actually, ill stop now!!! Everyone basically....except Tim Sylvia!

    Chuck because he is the king.

    randy because he is a true star.
    GSP because he the man and soon to be champ again.

    There is an embarrassment of riches in MMA, so many great fighters. I am glad nobody like Vanderlei Silva, he is an absolute w***er.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,799 ✭✭✭Clive


    I like Wanderlei Silva.

    Forest Griffen: I love his style and his wit. There's not an ounce of malice in the guy, he jokes about wins and losses, he just does what he does because thats just him and he's not trying to Psyche a guy out or piss him off by doin' it.

    I think Josh Koscheck is an amazing athlete, incredible wrestler and really has hs stand up in order now too, I was delighted when he beat Diego Sanchez and I just can't wait for UFC 74 when he fights St. Pierrre, for me that promises to be one of the greatest matches in recent history.
