Pretty simple thread. State who is your favorite MMA fighter(s) and why.
Personally, I have to say that my 3 favorite fighters are
Diego "Nightmare" Sanchez
Dan "Hendo" Henderson
Jason "Mayhem" Miller
I like Diego because the guy is possibly the most intense fighter I've ever seen and he's got a true warrior's spirit. You can tell he eat, sleeps and breathes fighting, but he's also a very spiritual guy. It was sort of heartbreaking to see the beating that he just took, at the hands of BJ Penn. I can't say that I was really surprised that he lost considering BJ is one of the greatest fighters in any weight class in the history of the sport.
Hendo is just a quiet unassuming dude that will knock your freaking head off. He's a "man's man" as they say. He doesn't talk about a lot of trash, he just goes out and fights. I've always liked Hendo but my appreciation for him grew even more when he laid out Bisping (can't stand the guy). Henderson is also one of the greatest fighters of all time in my opinion. He's taken some losses, but that's what happens when you don't duck people and you fight the best fighters in the world.
Mayhem is just Mayhem. I don't see how anyone could not like the dude. He's entertaining as hell and he FIGHTS. He doesn't go out and prance around the ring, circling his opponent for the duration of the fight. His only UFC fight (vs. GSP) is one of my favorites just because of how Miller fought. He was pretty outmatched but he stuck in there with GSP for 3 rounds and proved that he could hang with the best. He lost the fight by decision, but he never gave up on that fight. Most casual MMA fans only know him for his Bully Beatdown show on MTV, but any real MMA fan knows of Mayhem's work and appreciates the type of fighter he is.
So who are your favorite fighters?
