genuine good guys in mma.

[philbr]

Demian maia comes to mind.

 

[Shaddows]

From the old era of Pride (not from Pride alone, but from the time Pride was at the top):
Fedor, Cro Cop, Nog, Randy, Hughes Franklin

Now a days:
Weidman, Junior, Machida, Maia

Just to name a few

 

[Hammurabi]

I'm going with Big Brown with Barefoot Sweet Red, and anyone who disagrees with me can kiss my ass!

 

[SherdogGoat]

I was just wondering which mma stars you guys may have met that were top blokes. Or if you met any that were not so good?
Ill start -
Ive done seminars with Chris Haseman and Michael Bisping.
Both were down to earth blokes but after all Id heard about bisping I was a little surprised to find out he is a really good bloke easy to talk to and helpful in training.
Ive also trained a few months a Tiger muay thai with roger huerta and brian embersol, both guys are absolute legends!
Most recently I travelled to Sweden and trained at All Stars gym getting the chance to meet and train with Gus, he is a bloody legend too! In fact the entire gym was very accommodating. Everyone was friendly and the quality of training was great!

Gus seems like a really nice guy now but he had been an absolute pos in the past with multiple assault charges on people.

I've met:

Cruickshank, Mitrione, Woodley, Eye, Bruce Buffer, Joe Silva, Might Mouse, Reem and Elkins and all were very personable and friendly. I think you have to remember that with the exception of a handful of fighters unless you are a mma fan you wouldn't even know who these people are if you saw them walking down the street. I think this cuts down on big head syndrome .

Rashad

 

[sdaccount]

I would imagine that a majority of fighters are at least cordial individuals. Who wants to teach or train an individual that is an absolute dickhead.

 

[Cio]

Lyman Good was honestly one of the nicest people I've ever met period.

 

[Karnage187]

Rich Franklin
Lyoto
GSP

 

[The Steak]

Nate Marquardt, Donald Cerrone, Tyler Toner, Shane Carwin, Brandon Thatch, Bobby Lashley, Eliot Marshall, and Neil Magny all come to mind as awesome guys.

 

[Kylewood95]

Chael, Mcgregor

 

[Reach4theSky]

Most fighters are pretty nice I would think. I'm sure there are a couple of d!cks sprinkled in there.

 

[Aerosol]

Met Tito and he was really nice and down to earth. Also saw Scott Smith at the gym a few years back chatting with people. I was eavesdropping and he seemed nice as well.

Tito down to earth? HAHA I call BS!!!!

 

[Mainez]

I've met Scott Smith and Werdum at a guns and hoses tourney here in CA and they were both decent guys, easy to talk to. Werdum was much bigger than I realized.

 

[battery]

evan tanner was a pretty remarkable guy. he would have been 43 on february 11th. he is dearly missed by many.

 

[Dontevenguess93]

Literally on of the nicest fighters/the nicest fighter you will ever meet = Luiz Cane.

 

[KenstaBoy]

Nick Diaz. No joke. I've met a lot of fighters, and the guy is just a regular kid from the ghetto who is cool as shit to fans. The guy loves fighting and never let fame get to his head. I've met a lot of fighters and most of them are just meh. Matt Hughes probably being the least friendliest.

 

[permafrost]

Met Fedor, Barnett, and Aleks in Calgary and they were all easy to meet and get photos with. Just wish I would of bought them shots. Didn't think of it till later though.

Fedor even spoke a bit of French
