which UFC fighter had/has the most aura?

[JAL]

if i have to make my top 5 of all time it would be:
1. Jones (prime)
2. Khabib
3. Ngannue
4. Khamzat (mf had that Mike Tyson aura before the Burns fight)
5. Romero
honorable mentions
Prime Mcgregor, shavkat, Kamaru Usman, Alex Pereira, Anderson Silva, GSP.

Great list.
I'd place Anderson Silva right near the top though

And honestly, Ronda Rousey had an aura too, thanks to people like Rogan claiming she's the female Mike Tyson and the media hyping her

Bruh... she was a "once in ever athlete" that could beat:

half of the men's bantamweight

and floyd Mayweather

and maybe Cain Velasquez while he was HW reigning champ (under the right circumstances).

Crazy times. Then Holly came around and destroyed that aura completely

Then Amanda Nunes put the final nail in the coffin

Fedor and Anderson have to be at the top of the list at their peak. Very few other fighters if any have given me that feeling during their fight entrances.

Conor as the honourable mention???

Someone started early on their St Paddy's drinking.

conor was entertaining and a big name but was never considered this unbeatable force, especially when he had a close fight with Chad mendes

The fact that you have Silva at honorable mention discredits everything else you said. That guy was the definition of aura during his reign.

Okay there 2019 account.

If not for his aura of invincibility, nobody would bother watching boring GSP lay and pray sessions.

 

[Chubi]

A. Silva comes to mind first, but I guess Fedor might be at least on the same level.

 

[World eater]

I have a strange aura every time I fart.

 

[Rio Ferdinand]

Conor in his prime.

 

[RoñaCastroJr]

Silva, Fedor, Khabib, Jones, GSP

Honorable Mentioms: Harold Howard, Melton Bowen, Asbel Cansio, Keith Hacknet, Steve Jennum.

GSP was the opposite of that. His chin was always in question but he dominated despite this. Every fight was tense because you didn't know if this was the one where he gets cracked by one of these killers. And I watched because he was one of the most intelligent fighters at the highest levels of the sport.

 

[HatKick]

Khabib imo. Undefeated with 3 title defenses without even a mark or drop of blood.

 

[RichardHarrow]

Maybe the aura wore off a bit but Wanderlei.

Randy Couture…

Just something about him that made you believe he would just always overcome the odds, even well past the age of 40…

You substitute someone with Couture’s exact height, weight, and age against Lesnar and you wouldn’t give that man a shot in hell to defend his title, but a good amount people actually believed Couture would expose Lesnar…
