Apparantly not.:p Oh, and i've met Leben in Portland.:)

[NotYou]

I like to see Anderson Silva, BJ Penn, Michael Bisping, and GSP fight.

[MrFurious87]

I like to see Anderson Silva, BJ Penn, Michael Bisping, and GSP fight.

All four are great fighters.:)

[FoxInStocks]

In no particular order:

Andrei Arlovski, Forrest Griffin, Spencer Fisher, Anderson Silva, Nick Diaz, Heath Herring, Frank Mir.

These are guys I always root for in a fight and will often watch a crummy event just to see them perform.

[mike_houghton]

Rampage, Tito, Kimbo, Chuck Liddell, Ken Shamrock

nice, I live in Washington and there arent many popular fighters here, although I have seen Ivan Salaverry and Dennis Hallman(he submitted Matt Hughes twice in under 30 seconds COMBINED!) at local shows and Jiu-Jitsu tournaments but most casual fans don't really know who they are. My Dad met Jeff Monson once ,he lives around here. Oh and its not in Washington but I actually met Ken Shamrock at Disneyland.

Forrest

Rampage

Big Nog

Lil Nog

Shogun

I could go on, but really I like most fighters. The few I don't like is a shorter list, with Matt Hughes at the top of it.

[darthdufus]

i don't much care for Hughes either, but the two fighters I absolutely can't stand are: Koscheck, and most recently after his post-fight antics against Heath Herring, Brock Lesnar, I hate it when a fighter is disrespectful to his opponent like that, another one that made me mad was when Houston Alexander was standing over Jardine when he KO'd him. Its like yeah you beat the guy but you should show some respect too thats what makes this sport really stand out to me is the amount of respect the fighters generally have for each other...

[batjester]

I'll probably get pounded for this but I'm actually a huge Matt Hughes fan. Forrest is another fighter that I like to watch. Going old school I was a fan of Keith Hackney in the begining of UFC.


One's I don't really like include Lesner, Royce, Tito, and Ken Shamrock (who might be the most over rated fighter ever). I'm hoping that the talked about match between Frank and Ken goes down.

yeah me too, that'd be great.

another fighter that i don't much like is Kimbo Slice... or actually i have nothing against Kimbo I think its awesome that he's trying to legitimize himself as a true mixed martial artist, i guess its against his fans and the way he is(well was) being promoted. his fansthink he is the greatest fighter who ever lived even after petruzelli KO'd him in 14 seconds. and elite XC promoting him as a headliner after 2 pro fights is rediculous, especially with well-established guys like lawler, shields, diaz, and carano fighting on the same card....

[batjester]

I view Kimbo like a modern version of Tank Abbot or even Kimo - lotta hype, not a lot of talent. They could all go with the second and third tier guys, but put them in against the better fighters and they'd lose every time.

[W.I.T]

I've gotta take BJ off of my list now. After the way he talked about GSP leading up to that fight, and the BS after the fight, BJ is a total D-bag. I hope Florian ends him.

I like KenFlo a lot and while I'd pick him over most LW in the division, he's going to have an uphill battle against BJ. As much of a crybaby as BJ is, he's still a tough BJJ fighter at LW. Kenny's going to have to have a solid gameplan on top of being at 100% in all areas, especially his ground game.

[CornsilkSW]

I like classy fighters.

Georges St.Pierre
Anderson Silva
Randy Coture
Chieck Kongo
Luke Cummo
Roger Huerta

also, guys who crack me up:
Rampage
Bas Ruten
Rashad Evans
Bisping
Tank Abbot

[joh-marko]

no order here:

Silva(anderson) - gotta love the dance moves

St. Pierre - So disciplined, really motivates me to train more

Rashad Evans - That guy is a freakin' lion in the cage, but he seems to be a very pleasant individual outside. i.e. the Sean Salmon fight, the guy was out for a long time, Evans seemed to feel pretty bad for the guy.

[DarthDoom]

no special order

Shogun-a ready shogun's a dangerous one (watch out Machida)

Rampage-makes me laugh

Tito-I don't know why I like him but can't help but to love to hate this guy.

Wandy-animal, simply an animal

BJ- I live in Hawaii so got to go for the home team

Fedor-his record speaks for itself

Franklin- just a really classy dude

Hendo- you can never count him out

Sakuraba- Before Wanderlei I thought he was unbeatable. I wanted to see a match with him in his prime against Frank Shamrock in his prime.
