Chael has given me some amount of laughs.. I don't know whether I like him but he's made me laugh a lot many many times so it's gotta be Chael.. and he did very very nearly beat Silva which is amazing.

and then Bas Rutten

MMA fighter I would most like to go on the beer with
He's completely off the wall dutch which is probably the weirdest and most hilarious expression of humanity that exists.

John Redmond's recent videos have been brilliant.


Bob Sapp has to be the biggest global MMA personality.

Be like Nutella

off topic but amazing how many more results Google shows for Anderson Silva than for anyone else in MMA ...30+ million to GSP 16+ mill to Cain 4+ Mill...anyway off topic

Gary Goodridge gets my honorable mention because he doesn't harbor any resentment or harsh feelings towards mma even with how hes suffering so badly now.

Dan Hardy seems like a really cool guy. I didn't like him at first, he seemed annoyingly cocky. After listening to him on the JRE and reading some articles he's written I really started to respect him. I love GSP for being such a good ambassador for the sport aswell. Loved Tito back in the day when he was the champ. He was never a phenomenal fighter but he used to have an aura about him, his entrances were epic. Met him in the lobby in the MGM and he was cool. Posed for pics with us. Robbie Lawler seems like a legend aswell, so happy he beat McDonald. I LOL'ed at the end of the first round when he was laughing in his corner, saying ''I liked that kick. I stole his kick. It's my kick now!''

GSP and Chael Sonnen stand out most in my head, Conor Mcgregor certainly making a splash and the guy knows how to win a crowd over.

He gave Matt Hughes a piggy back ride when he lost to him and apologized to him over their little war of words. Even when Josh Kroschech bashed him he didn't say anything back, just that he was training hard and was looking forward to the fight. When Matt Hughes won he wasn't like making excuses, he said straight up he was a better fighter in that ring. He even rejected the belt because he thought it rightfully belonged to Matt Serra. I don't think I've ever seen him bash another person, always so humble. This guy has got some major class.

he wouldn't even properly insult Nick Diaz even though he tormented him. true warrior is GSP

That doesn't make somebody a personality, sure it makes him a class act and very respectful, but a personality, nah.

If you want prime examples of personalities in MMA, and i don't like some of these fighters then look towards Dampage, Tito, Chael

Having a personality does necessitate one be an incessant trash talker.
