my favorite fighter is Ian 'The Machine' Freeman,why ? because hes the owner of the gym i use, hes promoting the fights and im taking part in the fights he promotes i am happy he let me get matched up with one of his lads. he told me i am doing great doing my own training and actually showing a difference. from 46kg to 65kg in 2 months all intense training while working at mcdonalds haha free mcdonalds meal a day thats my only carb load of the day haha

I'd like to think its more of a conditioning issue considering hes what? 30-31? In addition to conditioning I think he needs to improve his technique a little more, fighters are evolving with the support. His main problem which I've noticed is getting in the right range, you cant fill that gap with punches!

ok thought about this for a while and fighters that come to mind are-

Leben
Liddell
Vera
Pickett
Etim

I dont value these above other personal favourites but they came to mind first this evening.

I think Rampage has the biggest penis, but I also heard a rumor that Tim Tim Silvia has a 9 incher. Don't get me wrong, I agree with your post, Ian 'The Machine' Freeman is a legend among large-cocked males. The greatest thing is that he and his students get the necessary carbs they need from mcdonalds. Without that they would be flaccid. Amen.

I have many fighters I am a true fan of. The guys I'm a fan of most earned it in competition to being with but solidified it through character after the fact.

Mauricio Rua

He's a bad ass of course, but he is a humble professional as well form all I've seen of him. Respect and honor as a martial artist. 2004 then into 2005, I became a huge fan of his and found his accomplishments well earned and inspiring.

Wanderlei Silva

He's a bad ass of course, a savage, must see MMA in the last decade and more. Also a true man among friends not fans. His attitude is that of a winner in my book regardless of any outcome in the cage or ring, but I'm glad what he did accomplish allowed that window to be looked through.

Dan Henderson

He's a bad ass of course, always seems to have a lighthearted yet no BS attitude about the crap going on around him. Responsible for some of my favorite memories in MMA including blasting Wanderlei. A dude I'd invite to BBQ and he'd bring his own beer I bet.

I was at UFC 139. It was the best MMA card I have ever seen.

Also fans of Fedor, BJ, Cain, Bas, Chuck, Hunto, Mayday and more.

Cherry popped.

I only listed one fighter in my original post but if I had to think of the guys I always support when they step in the cage...

Urijah Faber
Demian Maia
Frankie Edgar
Vitor Belfort
Patrick Cote
Miesha Tate
Lyoto Machida
GSP

And a couple of my all time favorites, one doesn't fight anymore and the other has been fighting in OneFC.

Chuck Liddell
Jens Pulver

Just off the top of my head.

Bisping

Not the greatest fighter and not really athletically gifted. But he has achieved a lot on pure work ethic alone. He is an example of what hard work can bring.

GSP

Just because of his game planning. He fights may be boring but are good example of how dismantle your opponents game.

Lesnar

He's like some kind of Marvel super villain. Pity getting punched in the face was his kryptonite.

Ross Pearson.

Just because everybody should support their home town fighters!

Pat Barry - because of his caracter
Jon Jones - he's the man.
