Who Is Your Favorite UFC Player?


Recommended Posts

All time greats for me

 

1) ken shamrock-- master of submissions, started the first real mma camp, very professiona, well conditioned, ambassador for mma (remember he was one of those speaking in behalf of mma during its early years telling people that its a sport not a cockfight) i just hope he stops fighting he is old already...

 

I gotta disagree with you regarding Shamrock being well conditioned. Check all his fights with Tito and that fight way back then he had with Fujita in PRIDE. Those fights clearly showed his lack of conditioning back then. Also that boring 30-minute staredown with Dan Severn that has gotta be the worse fight in UFC history.

 

As for your hate for Tito Ortiz do keep in mind that without his antics and the controversy surrounding him the UFC wouldn't have received as much media attention back then. So you are correct in saying that he is arrogant and he did duck Chuck for a while but without him the UFC wouldn't have crossed over into the mainstream media as easily as it did. MMA is a sport and sometimes a sport needs "characters" to boost it's popularity. Tito was one of those characters.

UFC will never be the same without the TUF Finale 1! Bonnar vs Griffin! Man those two were slugging at each other! It was the fight that put UFC into the mainstream! Back in 2004 UFC almost scrap the lightweight division!? They were losing $40 million before they got the Spike TV deal for TUF! And everything got so big and so fast?! Which is good for the sport of MMA in the US! And yes Tito was their biggest draw back then!? But with the TUF fighters coming in and Dana building them up! People are now more familiar with alot of their fighters! So yeah... Bonnar and Griffin! Sama na toh 2 sa fave UFC fighters ko! :thumbsupsmiley:

GSP

Couture

Belfort

Nogueira

Forrest Griffin

Frank Shamrock.

 

but my top 3 would probably have to be GSP COuture and Griffin.

 

GSP for his athleticism and semingly endles evolution

 

Couture for his cerebral play and how he manages to impose his will on younger, bigger guys

 

Forrest Griffin for his relentlessness and fighting spirit

 

I actually think of his fight with Rampage as the Rocky Balboa vs Apollo Creed of MMA

some of my old school favorites

 

steve jennum - he's a f*cking ninja for crying out loud

Oleg Taktarov - somehow he was one of the first guys to bring in a holistic approach to the game

and of course

the first guy who totally revolutionized the sport, the first prototype of the modern MMA fighter.

plus foot stomps are cool

lesnar X couture

 

truth be told lesnar matches up very well with randy

 

extremely fast and unbelievably strong, these two alone could be enough to hold randy off

 

if Brock has a good game plan this could go down like BarnettXCouture

 

but, you really can't count randy out, experience plays a lot in this game, and Randy being Randy has something prepared for Brock

 

I'm taking Randy on this one
