The Most Refined Educated Fans

Maia and the Moose knuckles
 
not fans of
Connor
JBJ
Sage
RR
 
Rich Franklin is the correct answer.
i always had high respect for rich. even when he was walking with the douche brigade, him/hughes/and sylvia, i still respected him.
 
Mir's fans working on the intricacies of details of maneuvers and shit
 
Both great answers.

I really think the fans of that type are more likely to be hardcore mma fans. They've seen the same spinning wheel kicks and Gogoplatas and head kicks as others, but after watching the sport for so long, they begin to appreciate the workhorses with amazing records but relatively shitty HL reels.

I don't want to sell them short by referring to them as "workhorses." They are both very skilled, two of the best grapplers ever. But it's always methodical. The advantage is always there, but they gradually work toward exploiting it.

I really enjoy watching Elkins fight. If you had told me ten years that someone like him would be one of my favorite fighters to watch, I wouldn't have believed you. He doesn't apply to this thread because he doesn't have enough fans to really have a presence here, but he's just a gritty SOB.

When you root for a guy like that, you're rooting for the most boring fight. I'm not saying his wins are necessarily boring. I really enjoyed his victory over Pepey, but I know if Pepey won, it would've made for better TV.

man.... watching maia work a dude is very entertaining.... once he latches on to someone, he sticks to them like TAR.

Its pretty cool to watch the opponent try to get out of it. Its almost like a game inside a game. :)

I must admit I never really appreciated maias ground game until he fought gunni... I was honestly in aww when I saw maia treat Nelson like a child in the grappling exchanges. It was more impressive considering Nelson isn't a white belt on the ground. I remember in the prefight hype, Nelson was saying something along the lines of wanting to find out whose jitz is better, only to have Damian completely demolish him on th mat..

Need to rewatch that fight
 
I find CM Punks fan to be a very jolly fellow.

I know the feel man. I also started appreciating the ground game much more from watching maia.
Too bad the rest of the fighters are not as good and cant make this as cool to watch as him. He is so fluid.
 
Fans of Igor Vovchanchyon seem to be a rather reasonable lot, but there arent many of them. And maybe that is the reason why.
 
non-fair weather fans of Mark Hunt are usually pretty cool. Hunt is a warrior.

Dan Henderson fans too maybe?
 
Frankie Edgar.
