Am I the only one w/ Rich Franklin and Chris Lytle in their top10?  Two of the classiest guys in the sport... and talented to boot.

Do you mind me asking you about Houston?  Not a critism at all... this is the most objective rankings there is... just curious why people like certain fighters.

Oh no.. I'm not questioning.. just curious why people like certain fighters. Like you @geez.. what makes you like Sakara so much? Just interested in that kind of thing.

Sakara(usually) either knocks people out, or gets knocked out trying. He never shows any regard for his own safety. That's why I've always liked him.

I like Rich b/c he is educated.. classy.. humble and talented to boot.  I've followed Cowboy since The Tapout crew discovered him and featured him on the show on VS network.  Mask was really excited about him.. I've loved him ever since.

mine are chosen for all sorts of reasons and not based on their records or rankings in their repective weight classes.

for example with Wand, i followed him through pride in the early days, he always comes to fight,  is usually entertaining to watch win or lose and love him or hate him its hard not to respect him, he's very humble out of the cage and an animal in it, and he always finds time for his fans.

Rampage is one of my favouries due to his out of the cage antics, some of the stuff he does has me in stitches, i know some people say "it's not professional wrestling" but Rampage is Rampage, he'd be the same if his chosen sport were golf or tennis.

Leben was on there before his fight with Wand was even announced, i first saw him fight at WEC 9 when he became the first WEC MW Champion, Ko'ing 11-0 Mike Swick, can't really say i've followed him since then as i didn't really see any more of him until his stint on TUF. i also like the fact (like Wand) he always comes to fight and is entertaining to watch win or lose.

i know someone might bring up the fact he ducked a rematch against Swick in the main event of UFN 11, but Dana White (i think) went on to say that it was Chris's camp that declined the fight and Chris had no prior knowledge of the offer.

and when he did hear about it , it was too late, but he did accept a fight against Terry Martin on the same card, and after being put on '***** street' as Rogan used to say, still knocked Terry out late in the 3rd (if you haven't seen that fight it's worth watching)

to be honest i'd say (in any order) the first 4 all share no.1, Diaz -Liddell no.2 with Forrest and Cain at 3.

love my fighters to go balls out and NOT be walking stiffs in front of a camera with a mic on...funny, trash talkers that back it up while being exciting are my favs...also...great personal stories make me root for a fighter..i.e mcgee

He may be past his prime by a long shot, but I always have been and always will be a die-hard Lil Evil fan.  I've been cheering for him since he fought Uno.
