In terms of character, who best represents MMA?

[fortheo]

I'm just curious to see what kind of mindsets, personalities, and characters sherdog looks up to and respects. Who are the fighters that you think carry themselves thebest and represent the sport of MMA the best?

We all have different ideologies on what constitutes good character, so I expect diverse answers.

My answers:
Demian Maia
GSP

 

[Frank McEdgar]

Answer will always be..

Complete dedication to the sport and in his prime utterly dominant in the ring, yet stoic and mellow in the way he presents himself. Personification of a true Mixed Martial Artist..

 

[Fight To Win]

Cormier, fedor, mm, maia
Gsp is an obvious cheater and if you deny this you know nothing about sport.
If he wasn’t so sus he would be a great example though

Yep I almost said Jon Fitch but he has cheated before as well.

 

[ferrisjso]

Jones.

Resilient and excellent.

 

[TGArthur]

I've always been fond of Kenny Florian and DC.

Prospect Conor

He's not my cup of tea, but prospect conor had a lot of admirable traits for sure. He really took the world by the balls and made his wishes come true. I'll give him credit for that.

If you add Fedor to your list it is complete.

Demian Maia immediately came to mind.
And GSP is always a sportsman.

 

[in the liver]

Conor is reel gangster OG and fashion business man loyal to dee

 

[toutadixballes]

Khabib for his dedication.

Conor for his marketing power.

Machida for the "martial art" aura.

Rampage for the "I'm a real thug" persona.

Elias Theodorou for the hairline.

TJ Jones for representing the sherdogers' lifestyle.

Great choices, but I must admit that I was expecting "stipe with the immigrant mentality" from you
