Most intimidating fighter past or present?

Death metal dudes on the other hand :)

This guy doesn't even know how to hold an axe.


This one doesn't need a weapon or makeup to look like he came from hell. lol

If we are talking look alone I would say Thiago Silva. Guys looks like he runs a prison gang.

If we are talking results I would say prime Chuck or Fedor. There was a time that they look absolutely unstoppable...

Maybe it's just me, but I've never thought Thiago Silva looked intimidating. His mannerisms, the whole throat cut bit, it seems as if he's trying so hard to be/put on the tough guy motif but he comes off as a big ol' douche bag. I look at him and see a frat guy with tattoos with one too many beers ....maybe it's just me.

Anyways to answer TS, I've always thought Wand had the scariest look in Pride, Mirko had a real cold glare, and Fedor was just scary in how relaxed and care free he seemed. Like a serial killer.
 
Cain looks like a La Eme enforcer. I wouldn't even make eye contact with that dude( if I didn't know he was a pro athlete).
 
I respect everyone's taste in music but metal and rap are on the same level to me, two genres I just can't get behind because of the message.

Rap is all about having money you don't really have, selling crack, and sleeping with really drunk women. Can't get behind it.

Absolutely no disrespect to you or metal, but I just feel it's really angry/depressive music for younger kids. It's music that keeps people in a hole and I just can't get behind the energy. Too ragey, too much negativity.

You may be surprised to know I still listen to amorphis every now and then when I am lifting though. Drowned Maid is one of the greatest metal songs ever written.

I can do dark, broody, even with a splash of violence. Can't do the evil dark "everyone picks on me" metal though.

I'll check out the song you linked always open to new things!

Yea a lot of metal has gone that way since the 90s, angrier, I think its part of what keeps it in its subculture not mainstream. HAHA, "everyone picks on me" metal, like Hot Topic haha.
 
Please. Probably the least intimidating of all, hell the guy doesnt even look opponents in the eyes. If you are talking aura, that is not the same.

Negative.

Psychologist: Emelianenko's staredown like a psychopath's

"If a fighter gets under his opponents skin, it is the equivalent of getting the plague."
.
"The best when it comes to the staredown is Fedor Emelianenko. Watch him: he does not make eye contact and his entire expression is extremely relaxed - you would think he is about to perform a ballet or something.

"But here is the crucial thing. When the referee tells them to head back to their corners, Fedor suddenly darts a short look directly at his opponent - or through his opponent, I should say.

"This kind of look is associated with antisocial behavioural disorders and psychopaths. They don't look at you, they look through you. It's emotionless, it goes deeper than skin level.

"You will get a lot of fighters who will catch that look and suddenly realise they don't want to be there.

"Wanderlei Silva has a stare-down that makes you think 'this is gonna hurt', but Fedor's makes you think 's---, I might die'."

Bob Sapp has become such a joke and the ultimate proof that appearances can be deceiving, but you're absolutely right. I don't think there can be any fighter ever that LOOKS like he's goint to kick Bob Sapp's ass.

Sapp is monstrously strong, he's rightfully intimidating.

the thing is, when Mirko broke his orbital it stole his soul. The guy has been scared of getting hit ever since that time and never tried to win a fight. Before fighting Mirko, he was scary.
