Who in your opinion, the most entertaining decision-artist?

[First Day UFC Intern]

Fight always went to decision / no finishes, but still entertaining as hell

 

[ripsta619]

Max Holloway imo

[Travis Alexander]

[PicoPulse]

I like Dom, Fitch, and Elias Theodorou

 

[Sickbro69420]

Frankie Edgar/max Holloway for me

 

[First Day UFC Intern]

Merab Dvalishvili... Gregor Gillespie... Movsar Evloev... Arman Tsarukyan... Sean Strickland.. Alexa Grasso?

Low key GSP appreciation thread lol ……I enjoy lots of fights that go to decision, but can’t think of anyone I like that is really known for it ….I’ll say Pride FC Dan Hendo

 

[mmamxfan]

GSP and it's not even a contest.
[edit]Just realized you said entertaining, which GSP wasn't. So I'll have to think about it a little more.

 

[First Day UFC Intern]

Colby imo is entertaining, so mostly pressure / high volume fighters those either strike/on the feet, or wrestle/takedown pressure, never stops always go

 

[First Day UFC Intern]

Many entertaining factor comes from fighter who takes risk - willing to get knocked out or rocked like Gaethje or Oliveira

Entertaining decision artist seems like combination of 2 contradiction, fighters that willing to go to the fire, your opponents survived but was either dominated (GSP) or was too overpowered by volume that they can't do anything (Holloway, Merab, Gillespie, Colby)

Back in the day, it used to be LWs like Sanchez, Guida and Tyson Griffin.

Obviously Diego Sanchez, the following were all decisions.

Vs Clay Guida - HOF Fight
Vs Gilbert Melendez - One of the best fights ever
Vs Karo Parisyan - Great fight
Vs Nick Diaz - Great fight
Vs Jake Ellenberger - Great fight
Vs Martin Kampmann - Great fight
Vs Paulo Thiago - Great fight
Vs Joe Stevenson - Good fight

Bendo when he was lightweight champion. His fights always went the distance and were sometimes really close, but I always thought they were entertaining.

 

[Eredin]

Leon Edwards. he's just not a likeable guy so he gets a lot of shit shutting down more popular fighters.

Oh and being really aggressive but not having the power to put away your opponent doesn't make you a "point fighter"

Vs Gilbert Melendez - One of the best fights ever
Vs Karo Parisyan - Great fight
Vs Nick Diaz - Great fight
Vs Jake Ellenberger - Great fight
Vs Martin Kampmann - Great fight
Vs Paulo Thiago - Great fight
Vs Joe Stevenson - Good fight

I'd put Diego's fight with Alessio over half that list TBH. Some of those were just Diego getting beat up, bleeding and snarling and moving forward not doing a whole lot effectively

Benson

Pettis 1 - all-time level fight
Cowboy 1 - all-time level fight
Frankie 1 - great fight
Chandler 1 - great fight
Guida - great fight
Primus - good fight
Piccoloti - good fight
Masvidal - good fight

Cub

Semerzier - all time level fight
Choi - all time level fight
Stephens - great fight
Takaya - great fight
Kron - great fight
Kawajiri - great fight
Dustin - good fight
Micah - good fight
Artem - good fight

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Jose Aldo

I like Dom, Fitch, and Elias Theodorou

I get what you're doing lol but I do find Cruz to be super entertaining as a fighter.

Paralysis by analysis

Doesn't matter if they were effective, they were still extremely entertaining. Cub is a decent shout.
