Does anyone have favorite MMA fighters? I like the wrestlers, such as Ben Askren and Daniel Cormier.
GSP (retired)... Nate Diaz (when he fight)... I'm waiting to see one pop out that is likeable now
Olympic wrestling is an exhibit of the next batch of MMA fighters.
@jaymaron You're not wrong... I like when the asians fighters show up though... Like the Koean Zombie...Always a good show
I was rooting for Diaz to beat Masvidal.
@jaymaron I have don't time to watch all the fight anymore.
I don't really have a favorite per se, but overall I guess GSP , considering his carer, and DJ (Demetrius Johnson). There are many fighters who in their prime displayed great skill set... from Fedor, to Demian Maia. Dominic Cruz, Khabib Nurmagomedov off course. I love to see progress and maturing of Dustin Poirier etc. Generally , good skill set and good character and good intelligent fighters I gravity to. Since the pride days that I've watched the MMA scene, there were too many too count.
He should have been locked up long ago, but everyone covered for him because he brings in the eyeballs in UFC. The guy is complete sociopath. Hiting a pregnant women with a car because he was high and can't drive worth a damn, than running on foot from the accident , only to come back before cops show up to grab the money he forgot from his car and run away again. This is after all the other car crashes, cocaine and alcohol abuse, PED's and domestic violence stuff, and generally being a pathological lier and cheater with zero remorse. Now this. They should have locked him up and throw away the key long ago. He is true sociopath that shows zero remorse.
