Most beloved UFC Champ?

I see more hate for Ronda than I do love on here.
 
Edgar. How can anyone hate Frankie Edgar?

Edgar. How can anyone hate Frankie Edgar?

Looking back on it I feel dumb but there was a solid 2-3 years where I absolutely hated Edgar. Honestly looking back on it now I can't even explain it. Just for whatever reason I really disliked him, then he grew on me.
 
Chuck for sure. Don't know any real haters. It doesn't matter how you slice it, 7 consecutive knockouts
 
Silva was the most admired for his KO finishes, but he wasn't a big draw and MW was pretty weak at that time. GSP was also a long time champ at WW. GSP's live ticket sales and PPV numbers were always top notch. He also had Under Armour and Gatorade endorsement deals which were unheard of for MMA stars previously. Liddell, Couture and Penn had their time in the sun. Stoner rebels liked the Diaz Bros., but I think that was merely a loud minority and not a huge fan base.
 
Doesn't Anderson have like 7 million Twitter followers?
 
Chuck. Randy before Dana decided to shit on him, and the gullible followed.
 
Griffin. He was the first champ that a huge number of people were emotionally invested in, seeing his maturation from little known on TUF to rising contender to champion.
