Most beloved UFC Champ?

[Szwok]

Gsp!!

 

[zephid]

Probably Chuck or Randy.

Honestly OP, based on his PPV sales over his career, GSP probably has more fans than anyone....ever.

Yes GSP has/had a lot of fans, but he also got a lot of flack for not finishing fights, fighting safe etc.

My vote doesn't count as I am Randy's biggest nuthugger on this board.

I am so far gone, I can't fathom the crap that guy takes!

In NCAA basketball they have an RPI index & strength of schedule index. If you applied that to MMA Randy has to be the #1 by far.

Everyone is screaming about JBJ not going to HW to take on 240ish Cain. Randy went from LHW to HW to face a 6'8" champion that cut to make 265! ZERO CREDIT!

Look, you can't say look how beloved Randy is and somehow elevate him over a guy with twice as many fans. :icon_chee

 

[JDB]

Tito

 

[SilvaMoney]

Ones that don't last very long as champs. If they're dominant, they have haters

 

[Shogun Rising]

Large scale I'll go with St Pierre.

A segment of Sherdog hated him, but the general people loved that dude and always ate his fights up.

 

[machidafan99]

I'd say GSP or Chuck.

 

[UL]

Chuck

Though I'm not a fan

 

[edirp]

Chuck by far.

 

[Alpinestar]

Based on PPV sales and the chant, I'd go with St-Pierre.

Well when you are talking about how beloved someone is you also have to take their haters into consideration. Randy has fewer hardcore fans than GSP but he also has a lot less haters.

In that case for most beloved I would say Robbie Lawler. Think about it. Have you ever heard so much as 1 person say something bad about Robbie Lawler?
