Alright folks so im goin to be running a 16 man tournament to find out who indeed is the most beloved fighter on MMA Forum.
Im going to go through a few things before I get the first match underway:
1. The list was what
I personally thought are some of the most loved fighters around, you may not agree with all on the list and thats fine, but im sure you'll find at least a couple of your fav fighters out of the 16 I've chosen.
2. This has been approved to be in the UFC section even though there will be several non-UFC fighters.
3.
This is suppose to be fun, so keep it light and share your thoughts, and make sure to vote for your favourite out of the 2.
4. This is to find out the fan favourite,
not who would win in a fight (although I did look at some of the matchups and went "hmmm...")
If you haven't already, please vote on the third fight!
Aleks Emelianenko Vs Shogun
http://www.mmaforum.com/ufc/49185-mm...ird-fight.html
Let the battle commence!
CroCop:

Why he is beloved: One of the most feared fighters to ever grace the HW division. His right leg will put ya in the hospital and his left leg will put ya down for the dirt nap. Hasn't looked half the man he once was recently, but I know the die hard fans are still on his bandwagon.
Franklin:

Why he is beloved: The ex-UFC MW champion, and UFC poster boy is a well-rounded fighter and is one of the classiest guys you will come across. He has the skills/the looks and a great attitude, what more could you ask for?
Reached the halfway mark of this first round and believe me, the second half of this round has some absolute monsters goin head to head, Stay tuned!
