Tank Abbott makes those guys look like phony posers when it comes to heelness and it’s crazy to think that he still has the two most violent KOs in UFC history after all this time (since the first UFCs in the 90s). After 1000s upon 1000s of fights since then... crazy.Fuck that shit. Jon jones is a sociopath. I watch him on embedded recently and he struggles mightily to pretend to not be a narcisstic dickhead. But hes not top villain. He wants to be loved and cares what ppl think. Guys like koscheck,chael and bisping actually dont care.
Chael easily.We've been blessed with some great villains through the years - fighters that have embraced the dark side and the hate, and do things their way, rustling as many jimmies as they can while they do it.
I've selected a group of the best I could think of. The ones who's names will largely be remembered for their actions over their fights by many... The greatest trash talkers/most offensive/arrogant panty twisters we've yet seen.

This isn't a fighter bashing thread, it's a celebration of the guys that have inspired peolle to buy PPVs just to see someone lose - the ones that make people angry in real life through their action within the sport - the villains, not the Joe Son evil types, just straight up heels.

My guess is that the reason for this is there is too many new fans around here. They barely know who Koscheck is. Tito was not so much of a heel lately, but still I agree with you. For me it's: 1. Bisping, 2. Chael, 3. Tank, Kos and Tito. fan of both Bisping and Chael. good thread btw.Can't believe Colby has more votes than Kos...
Bisping and Tito aren't doing as well as expected either.
Except, that is literally what a heel is. Heel is an old wrestling term to describe someone who adopts a villain persona. It’s not someone who actually is a bad guy.A heel who isn't really a nasty heel isn't really a heel in my book.
Ronda.
I see Chael more as an actor who played a heel, not an actual heel.

Because of that, Ronda is not a heel. She wasn’t playing a part, she was just a bitch. Chael is easily the best heel, because as you said, he’s an actor who played a role, and he played it well.



Lesnar's reign was short, but he had all the heel characteristics... Still does.
Had a hard time not picking Chael, but I think I just like the guy too much to say he's the biggest villain.
Her role in WWE was different. I don’t dislike Ronda, in fact, I quite like her. But to deny that she’s a bitch is silly. Her attitude in and out of the cage while she was in the UFC was genuine, and she was not nice.
Holy shit you should vote Ronda my poor boy. Do you think she going heel route before Wrestlemania because she is bad person? LOL. Still calling her bitch, 3 years passed, time to move on poor soul...Ronda was one of best heels, and Chael was corny af, 10 years old could see it was act.
She was playing bitch, at start she was nerdy girl playing games. Not many girls willing to play heel, so it was part of her succes. I've also noticed Barber getting haters because she is kinda bitchy sometimes. Good heel is if you don't know it's act, it's not WWE/ People still think McGregor is some irish drunkard, good for them and good for McGRegor and good for Ronda how she still making people emotional without mma fight last 2 years.Her role in WWE was different.

You may think Chael was corny, but he was playing a part, Ronda was not.
I’ve watched her in WWE, and I think it’s obvious that she’s playing a role. I don’t think she’s a good actor. In the UFC, think back to the Miesha fight. Ronda displayed her true colours when she walked away from a handshake. She displayed her true colours on TUF. Those moments weren’t her acting as part of a role like she does in WWE.She was playing bitch, at start she was nerdy girl playing games.

Ronda is playing her role in WWE and you saying in mma, it wasn't act. Sorry I have different opinion, tbh I don't even bother with watching promos etc.
TUF is heavily edited show, wouldn't make any theories about people based on reality how, but whatever.I’ve watched her in WWE, and I think it’s obvious that she’s playing a role.
