The big knock on Pulver in this area is how BJ Penn "stole his soul" so to speak: Pulver went 1-6 after losing to BJ, including five first-round losses, four in under 2 minutes. 

Contrast that with how Michael Bisping has done since Hendo beat him in a similar grudge-match-type situation.

Bisping also did not lose back-to-back fights after opening his career with 10 or more wins.  Such as Aaron Rosa, Jake O'Brien, Sean McCorkle, Ryan Bader, and even Diego Sanchez and Lyoto Machida, cannot make that same claim.

Therefore Bisping belongs squarely in this discussion.

@tacomike  i put in ken shamrock for his first fight with tito alone.  he couldn't get anything off and was just getting bloodied and bloodied but never once gave up.  and then at the end even after all the bad blood he raised tito's arm and walked him around the ring. joe rogan then said "ken shamrock has my respect for life" and i agreed.

@niklust i put in maia mostly because of his silva fight, he was out classed in the striking department and couldn't get the fight to the ground but instead of pulling a thailes lates he just kept swinging.  even swinging while off his knees. thats the main fight but even in other ones he is always trying for subs and never stops trying.

@rorschach thanks for the support, it seems to be rare on this thread.

@rorschach @zarog hows about sending some of those thumbs up this way, someone got me in the minuses man lol

^ and to add to that JDS didn't remember anything after the 2nd rd right down to the interview.  he fought 3 rounds on pure heart.   wow.  
hope he doesn't have  brain damage though.

Saku's the right answer. Most fighters would've given up during some of the beatings Saku took. He went 90 minutes with Royce, he took a beating to the point where he almost gotten see due to the bruises and blood trickling down his face from Arona knees to the face, got his brained rocked 3 times by a prime Wanderlei, the beating he took from Smirnovas, Zaromskis tore his ear off of his head, etc.

No one in the history of MMA has the heart Saku had and that's a fact. Not Diego, not JDS, not Clay, not Anderson, no one. Sure those guys have huge hearts and are super admirable, but none of them has taken beatings of the same degree and as constantly as Saku took them.

If you think JDS is brain dead from the beating Cain gave him, you might've thought Saku was dead in his fight vs. Arona alone.

Whatever the question, the answer is always Saku. Saku Knows. Fullstop.
