The Wrestling Jock: This guy is a real bad ass. He will "smash peoples faces in" and knock people out in the first round, "demolish" people etc. He think he's the sh!t because he wrestled in college/high shcool. But let's face it, he's just a schoolyard bully trying to achieve fame by Lay n' Praying and trashtalking. He can't finish a fight for toffee, but who could guess that based on his talking?

Examples: Tito Ortiz, Matt Hughes, Mark Coleman, Brock Lesnar and Josh Koscheck.

The Pacifist Grappler: The pacifist grappler does not want to hurt anyone. In fact, he'd rather take loads of punishment before even throw a half hearted strike. It's like, even if this guy mounts somebody he won't strike at all. This wuss can tap fools, though. But since he's often one of the worlds nicest guy, he wouldn't dream of talking smack about it. He's always talking seemlessly with a brazilian accent, not revealing ANY dislike with ANYTHING at all.

Examples: Big Nog, Demian Maia and Thales Leites.

The Muay Thai Wrecking Machine: This dude is CRAZY! You do NOT want to get involved with this tatoo'd brute. This guy does not fight to win, he just want to deal as much damage to his opponent as possible. This guy is such a sadist that he doesen't even care if his opponent is out cold, he still just wants to land a last hit. He often justifies this outrageous behaviour saying that tis is what the fans want to see. There's something crazy about this guy, he just never seems calm. Like he's going to punch you as soon as you give him the oppurtunity.

Examples: WAND, Aleks. Emelianenko, Takanori Gomi and many, many more.

Feel free to post your steriotypical MMA personalities(preferably depending on fighting styles).
Awesome thread.

I perticularly don't like the wrestling Jock who thinks it's still NCAA and that passing guard 100x will win him the match.

And I also believe that the Muay Thai Wrecking Machine discription you gave is firmly based on Gilbert Yvel.

The pacifist Grappler is so funny because it's so true. They are the nicest guys around and would rather take a vicsious beating than hurt the other guy.
