Ok, so I'm guessing a lot of you are MMA fans and I'm interested to know which MMA fighters you have to see fight. Or which MMA fighter's are a Draw, based on your preference.
I'll name a few of mine, but first I'd like to point out that I have to watch Anderson Silva, Jon Jones, and Cain Velasquez fight, just to see if they will lose. It's hard to imagine them losing, with the current state of their divisions as well as UFC match making.
Fedor Emelinenko
I consider him the greatest of all time. When you talk about Fedor, your talking about a guy whose about 5'11-6'0 and 230 lbs, dominating the heavyweight division of Pride. His opponents were usually bigger and heavier then him, but he always found a way to win because he was a great all around fighter. He could knock you out, submit you as well as avoid being knocked out and submitted, by incredible knockout and submission artists. Right now, you are hearing about guys like Jon Jones and Anderson Silva being the P4P best, but they have the luxury of competeing in weight divisions where their opponents weigh the same as them and where they also are usually taller and have a better reach then their opponent. Reach is very important aspect of MMA. Fedor did it with out these advantages. He was usually shorter, fighting guys like 6'8 Tim Sylvia, and could be +35 pounds lighter then his opponent in a sanctioned bout and has beaten men over 400 lbs and over 7'0 tall.
Anyway, I'm always going to tune in to see Fedor because he's fun to watch and he's one of the best of all time.
Matt Mitrione
I like this kid. I first saw him on the Ultimate Fighter and though he's a bit weird, he's an entertaining fighter with some nice knockout power. Right now he's a PPV mid carder at best, but I look forward to his heavyweight career.
Nick Diaz
This guy is an exciting fighter. His match this past week against Paul Daley was one of the best I've ever seen. It was a stand up fight of two sluggers, and Diaz proved himself to be the better when it was all said and done.
He's also pretty funny to listen too. He might be borderline insane. Apparently, the reason he isn't in UFC is because he fought this guy Joe Riggs one night and after the fight both men had to go to the hospital. Diaz found the guy in the hospital and continued the fight
Case in point, he is a fighter and an entertaining one at that.
Chael Sonnen
He kind of disappointed me, but not in the octagon. Sonnen vs Anderson Silva pre-fight was epic enough, then Sonnen went on to back up everything he said against a guy people believe to be unbeatable. Sonnen beat down Silva for 23 minutes and it made for an incredible fight. I look forward to seeing him fight again (Sonnen/Silva II?) I just hope he can get things straightened out.
Brock Lesnar
Depends who he's vs'ing whether I root for him or against him. He isn't what you'd call a "likeable" guy, but when he gets in the ocatagon, you can expect a slobberknocker, whether by him or againt him. I'd love to see him vs Anderson Silva, just to see if his size alone could over come Silva's skill.
That's all for now. Btw, their is no order to it. Also, if you just want to list who you tune in for, that's fine.
