HELLO FIGHT FANS!

Hope all is well. The results of the TOP 30 MMA Fan Favorite Fighters is up and the RESULTS ARE IN!

Thank you to those who volunteered their rankings. It was a great help.

I'll probably run this survey again in a few years so sub to the channel to keep in the loop with that to see how much things have

(Looks like the UFC doesn't understand what fair use is and "educational purposes" is. So sorry if you can't see it. I'm working on getting the suspension lifted, but it is public for everyone to view.)

GOD, I HATE COPYRIGHT ISSUES. Sorry, had to put a filter over the footage, but it looks like we finally got it working with NO ISSUES.

@hdmexiqtioner

That was an awesome video mate! The quality of it was much better than expected, I was expecting it to be just you listing names like a lot of these fan videos are so this was a much higher quality than expected! 

SPOILERS FOR THE VIDEO AHEAD

For me the main takeaways are:

  • Robbie Lawler was only 30th
  • I'm very surprised to see that Israel Adesanya and Francis N'Gannou didn't make the cut. I know they have their critics but is their really that much hate for those guys?
  • I predicted that no woman would finish in the top 10 which I was right about I'd have never have guessed that Rose Namajunas would be the only woman to make the list! I'd have expected to see Valentina Shevchenko, Ronda Rousey and Amanda Nunes as well.
  • Petr Yan made the list but Aljamain Sterling didn't. It's obvious who the fans think the real UFC Bantamweight Champion is lol!


That was a great list and I really appreciate the work that went into as that scoring system must've been a nightmare to work out!

Thank you to everyone for your support.

This was an incredibly fun project to do, and honestly I am excited to have this being a reoccurring survey to see and track how people's perspective changes throughout.

@stephen terry And yeah, thank you! Use to do video editing back in the day and since focusing on content creation, I basically have a chance to pick back up what I learned and the tips and tricks I learned along the way.

Stay tuned for Boxing's Greatest Southpaws :)

I looked down a couple times….  Did I miss:

- Anthony Pettis
- Nick Diaz
- Diego Sanchez
- Nate Diaz
- Frankie Edgar

I guess these picks kind of date me, and perhaps identify me as being in the US….

Great video!  Would love to vote next time!

@TioManel

Yeah man, it was neck and neck throughout. It was pretty great. Honestly if these are the 2 and they are within 10 points of each other it really shows how great these 2 are. Especially with these being the only 2 to have over 500.

But yeah, I'll be transparent:

Jose Aldo got these scores: 100, 65, 65, 75, 75, 65, 10, 85, 8 = 548

Tony Ferguson got these scores: 85, 10, 100, 5, 20, 55, 65, 4, 20, 100, 75 = 539

So yeah, stuff was tight.

Kinda why I put a scoring system to everything, because sure it is great if everyone knows who you are (multiple mentions), but if people don't hold you in high regard (placement in rankings).

I am happy to see Tony get so much love though. It is a great sight to see. :)
