Most intimidating fighter past or present?

[mudoxiii]

Back in the day

 

[Emporio Alnino]

wanderlei when he was on that shit.

 

[prikoke]

Overeem

 

[punky brewster]

Prime Kerr

 

[Shogun Rising]

Fedor was like a demigod, and his opponents knew it.

Anderson won half of his UFC fights via fear alone.

just intimidating i have to go with bob sapp now he wasnt actually going to do anything but he was crazily physically intimidating

no one saw this

and thought this

after you saw him fight he was obv a freakshow but the first time i saw sapp i feared for the other fighters life lol.

For real, he does look like he could snap your average man in 2. He really did used to be a beast back in the day (when he was actually trying to win fights).

That said, Bob is a big sweetheart and a genuinely good guy. I also love playing as him in UFC 3

 

[Muskie]

I would have to say Anthony Rumble Johnson something about him..

#Fail GSP beat him up and so did Belfort. He was run out of the UFC.

For intimidation it is old school Axe Murder or CroCop.

 

[RonMachineGunJhun]

In fightville, Dustin Poirier leaned into a guy right before the fight and said "I want this more than you" or something similar. The guy said it really got into his head and he had a hard time in the fight because of it.

Was Jonathan Brookins

 

[Southpaw]

The scariest looking mofos imo were from Pride.. Wanderlei, Gilbert Yvel, Gary Goodridge (okay he fought in UFC 1st), Crocop (just knowing that the LHK is coming alone was enough)..

Oh and Aleks of course.

Don't forget, Wanderlei started in the UFC too.

 

[Cio]

Prime Wanderlei is definitely up there. Cain too - He's like the terminator. He will not stop until the fight is over.

Might want to check your facts broseph.

 

[HIMBOB]

Thiago Silva

and

Reem waiting in the cage for Lesnar.

 

[GrindingANARCHY]

1. Wand
2. Fedor

2 complete opposite intimidation and yet they're 2 of the most intimidating.

 

[CrazyAlex]

Fedor in Pride FC and it's not even close.

 

[finalflashx]

Based strictly on appearance alone.... for example, if you knew nothing about these fighters, it would definitely be Thiago Silva and Wand.

Guys like Sapp or Bigfoot are huge, but they don't look fearful. Like, you wouldn't mind approaching these guys and talking to them cos they seem like they would give you some of their time. But, Silva and Wand are guys I wouldn't even want to make eye contact with

Most intimidating? Two words: ALEXANDER EMELIANENKO!
He looks like something like a Mafia guy or leader of prison gang he has a total stone cold vibe about him as well. Not only most intimidating looking defiantly the mma fighter you wouldn't want dating your sister!
I liked his boxing style and think its a shame his career never truly took off I think it was partly cos of some hepatitis or something?
He also had an uncanny ability to get really sweaty fast.....see any of his fights and you will see! I wondered if it was side effect of hepatitis or whatever but I got no idea!

I don't think don frye looks intimidating..... Still wouldn't wanna fight him lol I see frye like a sorta cuddly (no homo) yet violent sorta uncle, you would want him as your uncle to give you advice and have BBQ with. Also for some reason I imagine frye shags loads of milfs.

 

[1strikeclothing]

Rampage when he beat Chuck looked intimidating.
