Who would you guys consider to be your favorite MMA fighter? Obviously you can see I got an avatar of one of the greats in Anderson Silva. He was my favorite for sure, and I still respect the guy a great deal. I heard he is supposed to be boxing Tito Ortiz soon, wonder how that will be.

Anyway discuss your favorite MMA fighters in here.

    Definitely going to have to go with Jon Bones Jones…just a straight up dominating fighter. I have a background of Muay Thai and Boxing so I love how he fights.

    On the woman’s side I’m tied between Amanda Nunes and Miesha Tate with Holly Holm having an honorable mention for sitting Ronda Rousey’s cocky ass down.

    When he was still in action, Quinton Jackson was the dude I always had to watch. It has been a while since I watched MMA though. I am not sure who is worth watching. I should get back into it. I am not sure why I stopped following it. Was probably around the time I was working two jobs, just didn't have time for it anymore.

    I liked Kimbo Slice for the longest time, because I watched him when he was doing those crazy street fight videos. Was hoping he'd do better in the UFC when he had the chance. But yeah, surprised he made it so far to begin with. As for current favorite, I'm liking Conor McGregor these days. But he can be annoying.

    I like Jon Bones Jones as well, he had some great fights. But I feel he loses some of the luster to his career because of the times he was caught using enhancement drugs and all that. I still consider him one of the top fighters, but I feel that drops him down the list some for me.

    Miesha Tate is great, she seems to be making a comeback. Amanda Nunes is probably at the top right now. What has Holly Holm been up to lately though? I remember her being champ a bit ago.

    Yeah, dude was a beast out there. Sadly it felt like his career didn't last long enough. Plus, didn't he start to focus more on movies and stuff?

    Yeah that’s the part that was frustrating about Jon Jones…he ruined his legacy IMO with the scandals.
