All-time or Today...

All-Time...
1. Rickson Gracie

Today...
1. Sean Sherk
2. George St. Pierre
3. Fedor Emelianenko
4. Brock Lesnar
5. Jacob Volkmann

Volkmann is an upcoming fighter, but he works out Minnesota Martial Arts Academy/Athletic Performance Inc. with Sean Sherk and Brock Lesnar. It's fun to watch Sean Sherk and Jacob Volkmann wrestle each other. I couldn't imagine him not doing well in the UFC. I think anyone that wants to get in great shape or learn great technique should check out that gym. I've been working out there for a few years now and there is nothing like it. I've even seen a few Minnesota wrestlers train there and I know that the University of Minnesota trains there over the summer.

1. GSP
2. Brock Larson
3. Jon Fitch
4. Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza
5. Sean Sherk

Honorable mention ... all the Minnesota guys (especially the local guys ... Clark, Wiuff, Speer), Robbie Lawler, Shinya Aoki, Clay Guida, Mayhem Miller, Fedor and anyone else who consistently puts on a good show.

OK, now lets flip the script and list our FIVE MOST HATED FIGHTERS (not talking about whether or not they're talented, just simply guys you don't like):

1. Josh Koscheck
2. Michael Bisping
3. Matt Serra
4. Kenny Florian
5. BJ Penn

honorable mention ... Machida (for no other reason than to make Duster mad) and anyone fighting Logan Clark.

My list excludes Koscheck....but definitely has Machida

1. Lyota "I throw three punches per fight" Machida
2. Michael Bisping (I think its his accent that absolutely annoys me; and the way he always says "my girlfriend"; marry the b#### already)
3. Matt Serra (Male version of Barbara Streisand)
4. Kenny "the running man finishing fights" Florian
5. BJ Penn (Again, don't know what's worse; his nuthuggers or him)

Well, I'm gonna list my all-time favorites, some of them may be well past their primes:

#1-Anderson Silva (may be the best all around fighter since the rise of MMA)
#2-Chuck Liddell (possibley most dangerous fighter during his prime)
#3-Oleg Taktarov (#1 on my tough-as-nails list)
#4- Forrest Griffin
#5- Shogun
#6- Georges St. Pierre
#7- Tank Abbott (he could people out, but that's it. However, I like KOs)
#8- Dan Severn (he looks like a drunk bear)
#9- Royce Gracie
#10- Kimbo Slice (for getting knocked out and showing that you can't just walk in off the street and compete)

oh, i've been off here WAY too long...
Hate:
1. Dana White
2. Kenny Florian
3. Michael Pissping (yeah, i just spelt his name with pis instead of bis... im so immature.)
4. Matt Serra
5. Frank Mir
6. Bobby Southworth

Also, im really starting to like Demian Maia...

Mr. PM... IF... sorry, WHEN Machida gets the belt from Forrest, you gotta do some sort of somersault or flip... some gymnastics trick... Only because you brought up that cat who took a swing at me, and Lyoto.
Try hating on Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida...
It will never get to him, he's too "elusive". :D

Any fighter that has roided I don't like. Only one I really give the benefit of the doubt is Sherk. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. He's still the S. I'm not really a fan of Bisping, Leben, Mir has rubbed me the wrong way on TUF, Rampage is an uborn baby killer, so I really can't like him any more, which is sad because I used to be a big fan of his. I kinda wanna see Lindland lose, just because he ran for politcal office. What a loser. I'm sure there are some others I don't really like, but I can't think of any.

Oh yeah, and Tito. He think waaay too highly of himself. He needs to get his quiet on.

Duster, the question is ... is the kid who took a swing at you a better wrestler than you are? Also, do you think that kid could beat Lyoto?

If we're talking karate, I'll take Lyoto, every time. If we're talking MMA, I'll take Lyoto by boring decision, every time.

Nobody can beat Lyoto.

Dude, lets put it this way... he's just more technical then his opponents...

I don't know...when I think of elusiveness, I think of Sugar Rashad and the running man Florian...Actually, if you were to paint numbers on the sides of their trunks it would kind of be like watching a Nascar event...Machida at least occasionally engages. :rolleyes:

Define occasionally.

Also Duster, when you said "he's more technical then his opponents" were you talking about Machida or the dude who took a swing at you?

Man, it's fun to rip on Machida ... for no other reason that it gets Duster worked up!

I actually don't mind him. I think he's possibly the most technical striker in the game today ... and I'm not even joking.

haha, i was talking about Machida, not that cat who swung at me haha!
Yeah, i understand most of you don't exactly hate Machida, but love to stir the pot that i sit and boil in...

Machida is the most technical striker, he's gotta be just thinking constantly with engage this, counter this... not to mention he's pretty well-rounded...

He said PJ Penn has lots of heart. Must be BJ's brother.

GSP will control Penn ... I can't wait. I think I'd be crushed if BJ won that fight. His ego doesn't need the boost.

I see Wanderlei hasn't been brought up...
now that cat has heart!
just a vicious man with many bad intentions...

BJ is a little cocky... yes, now GSP cleans house on him, so KenFlo gets a shot at BJ, and BJ wipes the floor with him.
I hope on all aspects.

The a## whooping that George give's BJ will be used to measure all a## whoopings that occur from that moment forward.

BJ's hummingbird lungs are of legend.
