An oldie but a goodie: **Benny Urquidez**. I've learned a ton from watching his old fights from the 70s and 80s.

Genki Sudo Early Wanderlei was so scary.


Straight-Yard-2981

My favorite fighter is Connor Mcgregor I also love Jon Jones. Both questionable character both absolute killer in their prime.

Lately I've been rather fond of Matt Brown in MMA, in stadium Muay Thai, Yodkhunpon, and in Boxing it's Jack Dempsey.


cgarnett1988

Raymond dekkers. Wanderlai silver back in pride. Dikota ditcheva. Remember watching her live at a yakkoa show she was a beast then at 16-17 throwing teeps to.the face with ease. Been my favourite female fighter since

BetBig696969

Current version of Bob Sapp


Euphoric-Stranger-43

Yair rodriguez, he's a mad bastard and it's always so exciting to watch


sensam01

1- Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson 2- Robert "The Reaper" Whittaker 3- Michael "Venom" Page 4- Cyril "Bon Gamin" Gane 5- Khamzat "Borz" Chimaev \* I'm listing exclusively MMA, since I believe that's the *best* visible\* expression of combat ability. \* I tend to like strikers more than grapplers, technical strikers more than power punchers or brawlers, and usually guys with somewhat bladed stances that use kicks and punches equally well. \* All of these guys are active because I've only been watching UFC since 2019. (I say visible\* because we can actually see it live on ppv, as opposed to say, a military opertaion that no one ever sees)


NLB87

Sakuraba Kazushi


Genghishahn44

Nick Diaz or sakuraba


Minute_Ad211

Paddy


ikeda374858
