    Fighting today? I'm not sure, I have a few. In the past I would have to say Ken Shamrock and of course the original Ultimate Fighter Hoyce Gracie!

    I never really got into UFC. I like to watch it when it's on, though! There's nothing quite like two highly trained individuals duking it out in the octagon.

    I really like watching MMA, but I don't particularly have a favorite. I guess if I was gonna pick someone it would be Clay Guida. I like the way he takes it to people. I also like the way the Diaz brothers fight.

      I second that. The pound for pound best.

  15. peterywkim profile image58
    peterywkimposted 14 years ago

    I would say Fedor, not only is he one of the best pound for pound fighters, he is very humble and nice.

    Georges St. Pierre or Matt Hughes not sure who's more of a favorite to me

  17. mel22 profile image59

    Fedor is not in UFC. He's in M-1 Global. But all around favorite MMA fighter would definitly be Fedor. UFC favorite would be St.Pierre

    theonegoodmanposted 14 years ago

    I'm not that big a fan of MMA as some, I prefer K-1 and boxing, but I like John Bones Jones.  He's excellent at takedowns.  And Machida is a great striker.

  19. TheMartialArtsRep profile image56
    TheMartialArtsRepposted 14 years ago

    Good question, because there are several I think stand out right now for me.
    Georges St. Pierre, Lyoto Machida and Anderson Silva.
    Beyond UFC, still Rickson Gracie, Gegard Mousasi (only 24 years old!), probably Fedor Emelianenko.

    My favorite is Cung Le he is from Kickboxing so he is always fun to watch and he isn't afraid to throw unique kicks.

    Georges St. Pierre
    Lyoto Machida

    I still like Couture and Fedor Emelianenko is the best ever!

    Love to watch the best fight each other.

    I like BJ Penn even though St. Pierre destroyed him.

      Chatman;
      Kimbo has a bad knee and he's too old
      I don't think he's gonna make it to the top.
      He got his butt whipped in the "house" twice...
      I like him but, not sure he'll make it.

        Kenrick Chatmanposted 14 years agoin reply to this

        I was joking qwark. Kimbo is not that good and James Toney must need money.

    Silva is the favorite in my house. I rarely watch anymore. Got banned. There was a guy who I guess was sponsored by Condom Deptot or something and Condom depot was in big letters all over his butt and I couldn't stop laughing, so now I am sort of unwelcome in the frontroom during UFC. :-)

    George St. Pierre is a good one.. I agree with that

    I enjoy watching Brock Lesnar fight a lot. He takes a lot of slack because of his WWE background, but this guy is a freak of nature. He is one of the most gifted athletes I've ever seen and genetically he looks like a super hero. Can't wait to see how he grows over the next few years.

      Notice how well those who start out as wrestlers are.

      1. Andrew Oneten profile image59
        Andrew Onetenposted 14 years agoin reply to this

        Wrestling has really become the best starting base for an MMA fighter. If you can take your opponent down repeatedly and hold them there for some GnP you will win fights.

        Especially if you cut to get to 265 pounds and have the speed of a guy that weighs 185.

      Brock Lesnar is a UFC fighter now? That guy is an absolute monster!

      I haven't watched UFC in years. I saw the first 10 or so, and Royce Gracie was always my favorite. He was a true artist and his grappling skills were all but unbeatable.

    Georges St. Pierre - absolute legend of a fighter.  Best pound for pound out there just now

  38. BeccaHubbardWoods profile image89
    BeccaHubbardWoodsposted 14 years ago

    I think everyone has great answers. Each fighter named is great in their own right. I even despise some of the fighters personalities (Ken Shamrock, Brock Lesnar, etc.) but there is no denying their capabilities.

    How about outside the UFC? In any promotion?
    Gina Carano. big_smile

    I absolutely adore this chick. She's a wonderful role model for little girls, too.

    As far as men go, I totally agree with the earlier post of Mousasi. He is a BEAST!

    I'd have to put GSP 1st, though Shane Carwin(sp) is kinda a fun throwback to the days when UFC fighters had to work a day job.

      totally agreed. i love watching classic (that's what they call it) UFC. no rules except no biting and no eye gouging. those were the days.
