I have many... but who's your absolute favorite? Im going against my own thread specifications and name two per affiliation... UFC: Matt Hughes, He's just a good all around down to earth guy. Christian man that isn't afraid to express it. And, How many other fighters do you know that would feature themselves sitting in a treestand and riding atv's in a MMA show? WEC: Brian Stann, Mans' just a beast. And a great guy. I hope to see more of him in the future. Who's yours? And Why?
Wanderlei Silva during his prime back in Pride. In my opinion as long as I've been watching MMA, there has never a champion as savage or as feared as him. Unfortunately watching him these days is like watching a hollow shell of what he used to be.
My son met Matt Hughes for the 1st time on Saturday. I met him many years ago (he went to high school a couple of towns over) when he was MUCH smaller.:d
I have to say Anderson Silva, I know he is a new guy but man he is crazy to watch. If I had to pick an older guy, Tank Abbott, that little dude had no fear.
Brock Lesnar is my current favorite to watch mainly because he's a freak of nature. I still think its cheesie that he went the fake wrestling route for a while but i guess thats where the big bucks($) are
Matt Hughes and Rich Franklin. I've always loved watching those guy and win or lose, they're class acts.
Back in the Day there was a guy named Mark Kerr, when he was on he was a machine. He and Mark Coleman were monsters but that was back in the early days of UFC, Kerr has since fell victim to pain killers. In the modern UFC era I would say Matt Hughes, I had often heard he was a ****** but have talked to a few who live near him and they say he is a good guy. For me he represents a good ole boy much like many of us. He held the belt for a long time and was a no nonsense guy, not to mention hearing Hank Jr. every time he came out to the Octagon.
Anderson Silva and George St. Pierre are both hands down the last two guys I'd want to have to face in one of those octagons. Hughes seems like a nice enough guy, but he ain't the fighter St. Pierre is. Anderson Silva with those knees is DANGEROUS, VERY DANGEROUS!!!
Randy Couture, Fedor and GSP are my three tops... and I have a ton of respect for so many more ... my wife, she's a big Matt Hughs fan... My boys, they really like Brock Lesner now that hes burst onto the scene.
I gotta go old school here and say Royce Gracie. What he did way back in the day really helped MMA on the road that it has become.
Kyle- Griffen is #2 on my UFC list, awesome guy. Greg- Arvloski is a Monster... gotta love those fangs too. I don't understand why he left the UFC, you never hear about him anymore...I do know He did lose his last fight though... The guy who beat him.... 29-1-1! Fedor Emelianenko (also Russian)
Matt Hughes hands down. Always got so pumped when he came into the arena to "Country bow can survive"!! GSP is a close second. Gotta love the Iceman when he had his run. Last but not least Shaun Sherk (sp?) the muscle shark, HE"S a FREAK OF NATURE.
I don't watch any of it to begin with, i've got better things to do with my time, but she's effin hot!!!
