@Ibj6 I used to hate Anderson Silva. Then he decided he felt like actually fighting again. Also, it's hard to dislike a man when he's got the biggest heel in the sport making you want him to win.

I know there are a few but I just can't think of them right now. Chris Weidman is one of them though, also Tony Ferguson and Cody McKenzie

I used to hate Urijah Faber, but now he's one of my favorite fighters, and to this day, I still don't know why.

@Fresno HOW COULD YOU NOT LIKE CODY????

Edit: Oh damn, I totally didn't even think of Faber. He annoys the ever-living **** out of me. However, as a fighter you can't help but like him. He's the toughest sum***** out there.

Is this a ranking? It should be. Also, probably Nick & Nate. I used to hate their personalities (never their fight styles), but as time has gone on, I can't dislike them.

@Hybrid I didn't like him on TUF because he was ****y and out of shape. Also he and Kos didn't like each other lol. But since the show he's been really funny and I've grown to become a fan of his

@Zarog I'm half the same. I used to hate them, but now I just feel neutrally about their personalities. Sure as hell don't LIKE them though. Watching them fight has always been awesome though.

@Fresno I forgot you liked Koscheck. That explains the Cody hate well enough.

I used to loathe Matt Hughes, but I've calmed on that over the years.

I can't think of Koscheck without thinking of an AWESOME article by Seanbaby. It was basically just a giant list of hilarious jokes about Koscheck. That man can make some creative insults.

BJ Penn is the one that immediately comes to mind. I couldn't stand him back in the day, but I've been a big fan over the past few years.

I used to love Jon Jones. Then his attitude started to rub me the wrong way and now I can't really stand him. As far as fighters I like now but never used to were Rashad and Mir.

I used to really not like the Diaz bros., but they've both grown on me recently. It's hard to dislike guys who fight like they do.

Used to despise Tony Ferguson because of his antics on TUF, now I'm just amazed by him and his striking.

Used to dislike Tito Ortiz because of what I heard of him. Then I started watching his **** and now I love Tito.
