Most Beloved Completely Average Fighter

[Sexy Jesus]

Conor. Good left hand and timing (but no jab), no grappling, no wrestling/ground game, suspect cardio, no BJJ/submission game, panic-wrestles or runs when in trouble, fades after ~2-3 rounds against pressure fighters, has moronic fans, not well-rounded, will get humiliated in August, touches butt in the park with that dork with a ponytail

 

[Son of Werdum]

Matt Brown, Diaz Bros, Diego.

I was just thinking of Chris Lytle from my state of Indiana, when he was the only Hoosier to root for in the UFC! That I knew of anyway.

He was completely average, but he was well loved for his work ethic and attitude. He was hard and quiet, never complained and always gave everything.

Who is your favorite completely average fighter?

(Cue everyone posting their least favorite top fighter as a joke.)

Haha, when I saw the thread title I immediately thought "Chris Lytle". Although I feel some are starting to forget about him, but I loved watching that dude fight

 

[StraightleftKO]

Mike Perry and it's not even close.

See sig

 

[Ghostoftheville]

No Forrest Griffin?
I know he's won the title and has some names on his resume, but he was as average as average gets.

Alan belcher
Filthy tom lawlor
I was impressed with belcher when he rolled around with Paul Harris and still took
all his limbs home with him

Filthy Tom is just...yeah

Sam Stout

My first thought was Diego, but someone beat me to it. So, hows about Brad "One Punch" Pickett? I think he was a sufficiently average, yet upper level fighter. An obscure pick if i must say so myself.

 

[Squish II]

James The Colossus Thompson
Yoshihiro Takayama

 

[daPROFESSOR]

Guida

 

[Codpiece]

leben was only average in technique

he was an amazing disciple of the just bleed god

Excellent call!


He was better than average, but I'll say Genki Sudo. He was so cool, GOAT entertainer.

 

[metalbeat]

I would say Houston Alexander but

He is for real
