Well I haven't met any of them yet but I thought this would be a cool ranking and I don't think anyone else did it? I put Mike Brown on my list because I needed someone to make the list and he is the guest of honor at the fights I'm going to on Saturday so hopefully I get to meet him there!

ufcchick did it a while ago poir ...

http://www.tapology.com/forum/rankings/156-mma-fighters-that-youve-met-in-person/178961-Who_have_you__met_

i've met a couple of fighters... Ian Freeman and Darren Towler, at UFC 138

prob not that well known outside the UK though Freeman did fight in the UFC years ago so a few may remember him and Towler is the Cage Rage Heavyweight Champion and has a fight coming up in April at UCMMA 27

Met and trained with Joe and Dan Lauzon, as well as Josh Grispi and Tom Lawlor. Also met Eddie Alvarez and Pat Curran at a Bellator press conference. Interviewed most of the 2009-2011 UFC roster over the phone, but not in person.

I've met Paulo Thiago at McDonalds last year, he's was there with his two kids Paulo and Thiago (yeah, seriously), and he is a super nice guy. I actually imagined him like a grumpy thug being a BOPE cop and all (pretty much the hardest special force in Brazil) but he was genuinely happy to meet a fan and talk about his carreer.
