Most Entertaining Fighters in the UFC Right Now?

[Madmick]

I was trying to think of the guys who have been the most fun to watch. Chimaev has the biggest hype train atm, but apart from his exciting power, his style looks to be a bit grindy like Khabib's. I'm looking for pure entertainment value, here, not necessarily superstar buzz. Michel Pereira is maybe the best example of what I'm after.

What are some names I'm missing?

• Israel Adensaya
• Abdul Alhassan
• Magomed Ankalaev
• Bryan Barberena
• Edson Barboza
• Joaquin Buckley
• Donald Cerrone
• Paul Craig
• Tony Ferguson
• Rafael Fiziev
• Justin Gaethje
• Cody Garbrandt
• Max Holloway
• Dan Hooker
• Chan Sun Jung ("Korean Zombie")
• Robbie Lawler
• Mounir Lazzez
• Derrick Lewis
• Vincente Luque
• Zabit Magomedsharipov
• Jorge Masvidal
• Conor McGregor
• Bryce Mitchell
• Francis Ngannou
• Brian Ortega
• Michel Pereira
• Mike Perry
• Dustin Poirier
• Niko Price
• Jiri Prochazka
• Yair Rodriguez
• Brandon Royval
• Aljamain Sterling
• Martin Vettori
• Johnny Walker

hard no on current Cerrone. I'm actually big Izzy fan but he's a maybe for this list since he is more counter striker.
