Top 25 All-Time MMA Fan Favorites [SURVEY]

Short and simple.

I'm looking for volunteers to list their Top 20 FAVORITE MMA Fighters of All Time (in order.) No ties, just a straight list 1 to 20 (blank template below). Going to collect and display results in a future post, article, or video.

The scoring system is: Your 1st fighter will be worth the most points, and your Top 10 choices will hold considerably more value than the remaining 10 slots.

No real prerequisites. Just looking for professional MMA fighters (Active or Retired/Inactive). But otherwise, your criteria defining your favorites is your own. There are no wrong answers. As long as they are a professional.

The only REQUIREMENT is that you list FIRST NAME and LAST NAME. (Nickname with it is fine too)

If anyone has any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

DEADLINE to post your rankings is February 22nd, 2022.

Thank you. :)

Good list, thank you @MuleFloyd.

Going to mark 2a and 2b as 2 and 3, I know that it is a "tie" but for how I am scoring this, It really is needed. But I appreciate it nonetheless. Thank you.

Least favoute fighter- Valentina Shevshinko

* Edited at 01.31.2022, 1:05 AM ET *

@Damien why is Valentina your least favourite?

@Gregory @Skelliher who is your top 20?

* Edited at 01.31.2022, 3:56 AM ET *

@DamienHandel420 Thank you for your submissions. A great addition to the survey. All logged.

@WastelandWanderer Thanks for the plug. Yeah fellas would be down to hear from yall.

The main reason why I don't like Valentina is that she boring, mix with being so much more better then everyone else, she alway -1000 and has boring fights, At least when Woodly for example has stinkers, its with fighter like Wonderboy or Maia, Fighter who could beat him if he fought fun, I can kinda respect fighting a smart gameplan. Valentinas fights with Carmouch, Maia, Murphy, Nunes 2(It Nunes, Don't hold that one agaist her), And Chookagian fights are boring. I want her to **** up her opponents like she did do Andrade and Eye, She a -1000, Also her fan base are anoying, But funny she has so many simps, When fighter I hate and Everyone like them, It makes me hate them more honesly

Also It's hard to do a top 20, I forger Hooker, Lewis and Gaeche, They be in my top 20

Also, Conor could be in my top 20 for irony now, Him getting mad after losing to Dustin is so funny

people not gonna like that lol

Agree with Damien, also the "most complete human" **** is cringey. Half her fans need to stop touching themselves and touch grass
