Favorite current fighter and why....

[bandwagon760]

So ive noticed we all have a very different take on fighters, some of us like guys that get beat up but always put on a good fight others like dominate guys who never finish and so on and so on. Instead of arguing over it in the figure board i thought this could be fun. U can choose any mma orginization but the only rule is they have to still be fighting no chucks, or tank abbots, etc etc.

Brock Lesnar

why brock, well i always want to hear what he has to say. The guy is not the most talented fighter but he uses what he has to get through people. Two years of training and 4 fight he is the ufc hw champ, he was put there for a reason despite what dana says brock sells. In the same light i think that quick push to the top hurt him more then it helped him, he has so many holes in his game it didnt take long for someone to pick him apart. I hope brock learned from the loss and is gonna get the help he needs to get his belt back and i can not wait for him to slam someone through the cage or get in mount and posture up and unleash some serious ground and pound.

Chris Leben

Has always been my favorite, ever since I saw him on TUF season 1, I always liked him, I think the dude has tons of potential and an incredible chin.

Wanderlei Silva. He was the man for so long and then hit a few years of bad luck, but I think he's back now. Maybe no longer a title contender, but someone to fear. He always has exciting fights, violent fights that draw me in. When he fought Bisping, I felt light headed because of how much I was cheering and shouting.

I have many favorites though, but normally keep them sectioned like this (and these guys are all my favorites)..

My all time favorite would be BJ Penn. Just because of the amount of talent he possesses and how he is basically skilled in every aspect of the game... one of the first truly well rounded fighters in MMA when he started.

My all-time favorite is Rashad Evans. From watching him win TUF 2, he has made SO MUCH improvement in his career since his Ultimate Fighter days! Not just that but with a record like 15-1-1 the sky is still the limit for Suga Rashad and especially with his next fight for the title against Jon Jones, and yes i believe that Evans can BEAT Jones! Well he has all the tools to take him down and make him feel very uncomfortable off of his back and his wrestling skills in MMA are the best in the world right now.
