Fighters that are universally loved by fans

Dillon Danis

 

[Moscardino]

Demian maia, I have never heard of a bad word about him. Even when he is in a boring fight people blame his opponents who get more heat than him.

Woodley got trashed for defending Maias 27 takedowns and doing nothing else, Silva got buried for clowning him for 25 mins but Maia always came out fine

Don Frye.

 

[JoeRoganPenn]

Alves!

 

[Epicman1324]

Nobody really dislikes Liddell, yeah? Arlovski too.

Sakuraba
Jens Pulver
Randy (95%)
Chuck
Wanderlei
Tim Boetsh

Wanderlei lost a lot of fans when he started embarrassing himself on TUF & against Chael, he's also a bit of a hot headed thug.

 

[cheesus]

I'd say Saku is my number 1 pick. Hendo has been pretty well received considering he fought until his mid 40's and was the definition of a prize fighter. Randleman, Stephen Thompson & Whitaker are potentially the nicest guys in MMA. Evan Tanner has to be up there too.

Every fighter has their share of haters.

This is the internet if someone cured cancer there would be people talking about how terrible they are for putting oncologists out of business.

Sakuraba
Igor vovchanchyn
Big nog
Hunto
Genki sudo

... wait a minute...

Should be loved by all but has haters:
Gsp
Fedor

Fedor is loved by ALL non-inbreds...Unfortunately, a lot of inbreds on here so...

Really? I thought that's what made him.

 

[KOPPE]

War Machine

 

[Lawrence]

Rich Franklin

He Ko’d Chuck and still nobody said an unkind word.

The only fighter Sherdog has not savaged.

 

[TGArthur]

I miss this guy all the time. He inspired me

 

[NDiaz209]

The Gracie's. They are such good sportsmen and so likeable.

Kind of like Nick Diaz

This is Sherdog. If you did a poll asking if the sun rose in the east or west, you'd get dissenting votes.

Well, that would because the Sun doesn't actually rise or fall. So, dissent would be....called for!

Sakuraba
Whittaker
Holloway

I can't recall ever hearing anyone say anything bad about shogun. Faber is another guy that everyone seems to root for. Holly had that especially after putting Ronda in her place.
Maia commands absolute hespect by all.

Its amazing to me how real fans can shit on Fedor but they do so I can't add his name although to me he can do no wrong.

Fedor has a lot of haters (calling him an overrated can-crusher, saying he was afraid of the UFC etc), about the same number as Anderson, GSP and Jones. If you're successful in MMA you will have haters on Sherdog -- there simply are no exceptions.

Shogun has fewer haters, because he is less well known. Maia has even fewer haters, because he is even less known.
