I'm sure plenty of you all have met fighters and have interacted with them. Who are some of the most nicest and friendliest you've met thus far?

Chael was very nice and polite with me in Vegas.
 
Josh Koscheck was super nice and agreed to shake my hand and take pictures with me and sign my hat and say hi to my mom on the phone.
 
I've met a bunch, and they were all nice in person. Wanderlei and Anderson were exceptionally nice. Momma Silva raised them right.
 
Met Max Holloway very cool guy sat down at the bar (he didnt drink) and chatted for ages with us,

Ben Rothwell is also salt of the earth

Arlovski the most ignorant.

He even said hi to your Mum over the phone? Wow, he's awesome! Nice to hear your experience was good.
 
Bas Rutten,Mark Coleman...man those two were exactly how you would imagine them to be.

UFC 168, under the bleachers at MGM. I got a photo but I won't show it on sherdog.
PS: Gilbert Melendez just looked away when I called him.
 
Conor & Paddy Holohan were cool when I trained with them a few years ago.

Paddys a funny chap, wired just like you see him in his interviews.

Andrei wasn't nice? Yeah, I've talked to Max on Twitter and he seems like a very genuine guy! Ben seems really approachable too.
 
I met so many fighters,but the only one who wasnt friendly was andrei arlovski. I wouldnt go far as to say he was a dick or anything.
 
The best experience I had meeting fighters was at the weigh ins before EliteXC Primetime. Bas was wandering around the crowd (the weigh ins were outside and probably 100 people showed up tops) talking to people and taking pictures. I went to get a photo with him and gave my camera to some guy to do it. He couldn't figure out the zoom, so he kept telling us to get closer and closer together. Finally he takes the picture, me and Bas have our heads literally touching. Bas laughs and goes, "Just like high school sweethearts."

A little later I was standing with a group of fans and Coleman, and Coleman was just shooting the shit with everyone like one of the guys.

Finally, after the weigh ins, Gina came out and spent a lot of time taking pictures and talking to fans. She'd take a picture and then go, "OK, now let's do a silly one!" Also, she hugged me. She smelled like lilacs and true love.
 
Yeah wouldnt call him rude just didnt want to be there wasnt too fan friendly


Eastern europeans can be like that thought,Also met Rory MacDonald very normal guy outside of the octagon.
 
I've also met a ton of fighters, and I will say that chael was the nicest most polite friendliest fighter ive met. Hughes was cool in a way, but then he was a dick the second time. Serra was also pretty badass. I meet fighters all the time actually seeing as im personal friends with Sal D'amatto.
