My favorite will always be Kazushi Sakuraba, his Gracie Hunter legacy got me into MMA, at the time he was like the total package of the sport. He also proved that a lot of pro wrestlers aren't completely "fake" fighters, yes he was a pro wrestler (well, more of a shoot wrestler).

Chuck Liddel is my favorite. I was glad that he beat Tito Ortiz. He is going to fight Rampage soon, that should be a good fight.
Thanks,
Sensei Tom

I am a HUGE Diego Sanchez fan... shame he lost to Koscheck. I just can't stand Kos, but he has got MAD skill so...But it was a good fight. Both good fighters.

Matt Serra is awesome. GSP, Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture.

I like some of other the young bucks who've come out of TUF.

Who is the MMA chick who fought Leila Ali in a boxing match about a year ago? It was the last Tyson fight. She was bad as hell.

I gotta give props to some of the pioneers (didn't wan't to say old timers!).

Royce Gracie
Oleg Taktarov
Marco Ruas
Tank Abbott
Patrick Smith

I really loved the forst 6 UFCs, so pretty much anyone who competed back then.

Oh, special mention for Fred Ettish! :)

My favorite, believe it or not, is Dave Benetau. He was in the very early UFCs back in the mid 90's He was a canadian paramedic who trained in judo and wrestling, and did a lot of ground n pound long before the term was even coined!

Nowadays, I like Chuck Lidell, because he is scrappy and tough, and I like Karo Parisyan, because he is a takedown artist and has tremendous aggression and movement.

But what I would like to see is a return to ground n pound.

I think Norifumi Yamamoto is really cool. He's probably my favorite. I also really like BJ Penn and Takanori Gomi. As far as girls go, Gina Carano's cool and pretty easy on the eyes too.
