If you are a fighter should you list yourself as your favorite fighter?

If a professional... why not?  Just my opinion.

Faith in yourself... confidence in yourself... this is fun...lol.

Seriously... I see the argument both ways... but I wouldn't have a problem w/ a fighter listing himself as his own fav.  They love themselves more as a fighter than other fighters.

Does any fighter actually do this? If anything, it would hurt you. Most of the elite fighters list fighters other than themselves because they watched those guys while they were coming up and used those styles as a base for their own.

Most elite fighters do what?  Everyone has insperation... but what?   Hey... If i'm a fighter... I'm my own fav for sure... obviously i look up to certain fighters... inspired by certain fighters... love to watch certain fighters... but I would love myself more than others.

Again.. just opinion gents. :)

I'm talking about fighters who they look up to. I think what I was trying to say is if you think of yourself as your favorite fighter, it usually means your ego is pretty big and you are less likely to learn

Just think about all the crap Jon Jones or Ronda would have after an interview like that:
