Out of these 3, who's the most iconic MMA fighter?

 

[J Danger]

Anderson had three less votes than Conor but you didn’t include him?

 

[Baal]

How tf did Royce not make it to the top 3

He's the most important fighter in MMA history

GSP with the early lead, nice.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Got to be Chuck, the whole MMA fighters with tattoos and a mohawk stereotype came from him

 

[mmacrisis]

Conor isn't anywhere near these two. He never defended a belt, and wasn't active enough.

 

[Young Calf Kick]

Of course Sherdog votes the most for GSP at the moment. Ask any random person on the street and they probably will have never heard of him.

Even though GSP was a way better fighter than the other two, we’re talking about who’s the MOST ICONIC, dummies. You can’t be an icon of a sport if you don’t transcend it’s hardcore fanbase.

Out of these 3, its Chuck eeeeeasy.

Fuck sake even Tito is more Iconic than GSP.

Chuck, and here's why, he was the coach on TUF 1 and thats what made UFC explode, everyone saw him first.. after TUF 1 the UFC went from fringe too mainstream, he was iconic and was one of the main reasons. Then the first PPV after TUF 1 was UFC 52 and Chuck knocked Randy out and won the belt, that was a huge time for UFC and the most important time ever in its history, thats what made it sky rocket.

LOL, picked opponents to promote BJJ. Once he couldn't do that, he got smashed. not saying he was trash. he was a great athlete, but not comparable to a GSP fir instance

 

[Dogpound2020]

Pretty even overall, but Liddell was a monster of a force for quite some time. Then GSP, imo

Tito vs CL was maybe the biggest UFC PPV ever, at that time IMO

 

[NordWorld86]

Conor

Very true, yeah it was. There was so much hype around that. I think without TUF 1 then Conor and GSP never get known much, UFC was losing huge amounts of money before TUF 1 and they were in big trouble, it was fringe always but there were becoming less and less viewers. Chuck was so important and vital.

People should listen to the Ferrtita brothers about how much they were thinking of packing in it before TUF, they were losing huge amounts of money, it was going under.

 

[Yellowcrab]

Nobody beats Conor. Sherdog is full of GSP's delusional fanboys, it's insane.

 

[surgeyou1]

GSP had to wait in line to get into a club and people think he's more iconic than Conor.

 

[AmericanMMA]

GSP is a dirty greasing cheater.

The dude is not iconic. Chuck was the best answer here.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Good or Bad.. Literally everyone knows who Conor McGregor is...
