Fighters most fun to watch

Here's a good fight from Nick...



I gotta say Nick was just too big for Denny, though....still crazy fight....
 
Maybe it depends on the fights, or my memory is hazy. I'm pretty old and my memory may be playing tricks on me.

Definitely depends on the fights/opponents. His last 3 fights were criticized for being boring, but of course people only complained that his opponents made it boring, even though 2/3 of the said opponents were highly regarded as 2 of the most exciting fighters before their fights. I, for one, did not find them boring. I think people complaining were mainly just fanboys mad about Nick losing (decision).
 
Prime Anderson Silva

Man, totally agree. That guy was just on a different level. I thought my years of practicing tae kwon do front-kicks were useless until that guy showed me how useful it could be....

Here's a great HL ….

Some guys are just never in a boring fight and will always be pushing forward. Fedor, Saku, Diaz bros, Shogun, Lawler, Gaethje, Wandy...too many fun fighters to count.
 
Jon Jones, prime ASilva, prime Pettis.

Currently Zabit IMO.
 
Right now in terms of entertainment nobody can hold a candle to Gaethje. There is just something special about a man that walks relentlessly into punishment just to dole out some of his own justice. Complete lack of fear, ready to hit the canvas for entertainments sake. Incredible man that puts his health on the line not for winning but for our entertainment. Gaethje is getting CTE for our sins.
 
Perry - Completely unhinged, good power, always goes forward, wants to bang
Nate - Insane cardio, high volume, iron chin, talks shit, stockton slap
Conor - Biggest showman in MMA, his fights are eletric, always huge stakes, 21 wins with 18 KO/TKOs
TJ Dillashaw - P4p one of the best, never in a boring fight, extremely creative
Zabit - Extremely creative, mixes things up well, have a lot of hype

Jones, DC, MM and Cruz are up there too, but they do have a few stinkers here and there.

I'm sure there's more I forgot right now.
 
TJ, ortega, connor, gaetje, PMP, borachinha

fighters who go for the kill on the feet
 
Israel, TJ, Joanna are a few I always enjoy. Most fighters have some great ones and some clunkers depending on the match up.
 
How about Joe Lauzon? I can’t recall the numbers, but I believe he had a fairly absurd number of fights before he ever won a decision. The guy went out to finish or be finished.
 
Damn, I just saw some highlight vids of Godofredo Pepey, good choice...
If you like older fighters, check out:

Yves Edwards
Chris Lytle
Jim Miller
Genki Sudo
Carlos Condit (any fight other than Nick Diaz, up to and including Lawler II)

They all had heaps of good fights.

I was going to tack him on my list but left him off. His first fight with Miller was a bloodbath.
