I like fighters who are sportsmen, friendly, and most of all humble.

I don't even enjoy watching the mean, rude people fight. I don't even like to see them be beat up, that's not the point of this. It's a darn sport, not a chance to legally pound somebody into the ground to release your own frustrations.

That said, I've really enjoyed watching the machida fights. I want to see someone take him on and force him to show off the variety of training he has had throughout his life.

I don't have a favorite fighter, everything is way too overblown by the media and promotion of the UFC for me to really know these guys well enough to have an opinion on a 'favorite'. All I know is that I enjoy watching two guys give each other respect and compete in one of the most difficult sports in the world.

P.S. Chuck Liddell was apparently on Dancing with the Stars. Wish I'd caught that before now.. lol
That's understandable. I do like a bunch of fighters just because of their personality. That's what the sport is all about, being respectful and putting your skills to the test.
I also dislike disrespectful fighters, but in reality they do make people want to watch the fight, it's about selling the fight IMO.
I find some fighters incredibly hilarious like Rampage Jackson, Mayhem Miller, guys that make me laugh and at the same time put on a show I also like.
Guys like Brock Lesnar, kinda erk me a little bit. But he likes playing a "bad guy" role from what I see.
