Better than the guy who put Dan Hardy as the most exciting fighter.  His own countryman, Brad Pickett is much more exciting.

I agree... Brad is more exciting than Hardy... if that's what you mean.

You guys may be right, but you still can't argue with someone who says Hardy excites him more. "Exciting" is a subjective term, therefore no one is wrong ...

If I were a guy who wrestled in college and can really appreciate the intricacies of a good wrestling match could easily call Fitch and GSP the most interesting fighters in the UFC.

I have another one for you, I think the least exciting weight class is the heavyweight, lot's of KOs but not a lot of technical MMA going on there, while I find the flyweights to be the most exciting weight class. In fact there has yet to be a flyweight fight in the UFC that hasn't excited me.

So who's right? Me or the millions out there that just can't get enough of those heavyweights? Who's more exciting, Shane Carwin or Chris Cariaso? What's more exciting? A KO? A slick submission or two high-level grapplers who roll back and forth but both are too good to be submitted by the other? A great all-around technical fight? The answer is, everyone's right. "Exciting" is too hard to define. To each his own, and to "that guy" you're talking about, Hardy is the most exciting.

Huh?  I was just taking about Brad.  I get your point though.  We all have our opinions & the subject at hand is def one for the opinion.

I don't think I've ever seen a boring Palhares fight. The guy is super aggressive, though there are some derp moments occasionally.
