Non corny American fighters?

[meast]

Why does it feel like American fighters tend to be corny? (I am American) It seems like every time there is a fighter who has a cool aura without being a dork, they are from a different country (ie Fedor, Poatan, Anderson Silva, Conor, GSP, Jiri etc.). It feels like the best we have are Jon Jones* and Derrick Lewis as far as original characters that bring something special.

In honor of the 4th of July let’s compile a list of American fighters who aren’t dorks.

*Jon Jones was initially corny with his clean-cut persona until we learned the depths of his degeneracy.

Wonderboy may be considered corny by some, but i like his style, in and outside of the cage.

It's because to be a draw in America they can't just be a champ, you have to talk shit to be marketable (Strickland) especially if they're boring. US is always #1 so having a UFC champ isn't some rare occasion. In other countries they're very nationalistic and want to root for one of their own so they can be stars and draws just by being from a small country

Max Holloway, Justin Gaethje, Anthony Hernandez, Khalil Rountree, Stipe Miocic, these guys would be revered if they were from PRIDE.

These guys are real.

Hughes? BJ? Eddie Alvarez? Frankie Edgar? Lawler?

Good list. I would add Randy, but that might just be me.

I dont think so either but I think that w some people anyone with a loud personality could be "corny" to them.

You literally just named the 3 corniest dudes on the roster, might as well just add Colby and Gerry to round out your top 5.
