I think you hit the nail on the head. Reading on sherdog about people having a bland personality is strange to me when thought about in a broader sport context. I guess I think Tim Duncan is sort of a nerd, but I also think he is a guy with incredible integrity who would never make an excuse and is a consummate team guy... I suppose mma being an individual sport could be the difference when put into context of other sports. Do people like/dislike tennis players for being bland?

Just because Aldo is Brazilian and you don't understand Portuguese doesn't mean he's not humble.

Jose Aldo - The most brutal yet humble fighter on the planet earth.

Thinking I might agree with this. As far as active fighters go, Jose is one of the most humble by far.

Most humble of all time still goes to Fedor.

Well, in his defense....Pride is the antithesis to humility.
