Saw a thread like this on the Boxing forum, figured it would be fun here too. Doesn't have to be the best fighters, just the ones you like to watch the most; thought I would make it Kickfighting in general, this being the MT & KB forum and all. Feel free to make it a combined list or two separate lists, however you wanna do it.

Here are mine —

Kickboxing:
Chingiz Allazov
Tenshin Nasukawa
Donovan Wisse
Ernesto Hoost
Andy Hug

Muay Thai:
Chatchai Paiseetong
Karuhat Sor Supawan
Superlek Kiatmookao
Langsuan Panyuthaphum
Silapathai Jockygym


P.S. I fought yesterday and scored my first knockdowns in competition. Got a knockdown in the first from a cross, and another in the second from a left hook. Got the win via UD! Feels great man.

My favorite is Giorgio Petrosyan, the goat. Only man to have K1 belt, Glory belt, and One Fc belt. 3 era.
Even though he was a right handed Southpaw. Tenshin Nasukawa was also one of my favorite even though he lost to Rodtang went to boxing (4-0) now, both have very good counterpunching and strong defense.

Kickboxing
Giorgio Petrosyan
Tenshin Nasukawa

Muay-Thai
Prime Yodsanklai
Saenchai
Nadaka Yoshinari
 
Tricky, especially as some of these guys cross over frequently from K1/MuayThai/MMA/Shootboxing rules.
But just off the top of my head:

Ivan Hippolyte
Fabio Pinca
Remegius Morkevicius
Aaron Leigh
Masahiro Yamamoto
Andy Ristie


There are others I really adored at one point but today I would watch these guys anytime.
 
In no order

Buakaw
Mike Zambidis
Superbon
Petrosyan
Rico The King


This was harder then expected....might edit at some point


Also congrats on your fight...
 
Cro Cop is my #1. Nothing like that LHK, and I especially liked his arsenal when he was in K-1 with his front kicks and sidekicks, his blistering combinations, and his relentless flurries. They didn't call him the K-1 Terminator for nothing. I also love Peter Aerts and Jerome LeBanner from the K-1 glory days. For an underrated pick, I always loved Sam Greco. Super quick and light on his feet despite being a HW and big power when he'd connect. Lastly, for an OG pick, I have to show some love to Benny "The Jet" Urquidez. Much love to Joe Lewis, Chuck Norris, Bill "Superfoot" Wallace, but I loved the way that Benny went to so many different places and fought so many different people under so many different rulesets. For fun, and for Benny, here's a cool video I saw recently with Mighty Mouse calling/breaking down one of Benny's classic fights.

 
It’s impossible to answer to this question, but for fun I will say:
K-1 90s: Ernesto Hoost, Andy Hug
K-1 Max: Masato
Glory era: Sitthichai(it’s a shame that he didn’t face Petrosyan in those days)
ONE and present: Superbon

Top 10 no order, Petrosyan, Kyshenko, Hoost, Yod, Buakaw, Kaman, Cro Cop, Anuwat, Hari (incredible talent but almost failed to make the list for obvious reasons).

Honestly I would probably make a slightly different list if I were asked tomorrow. So many great fighters.

Congratulations on your victory and those knockdowns! Scoring two in one fight must feel incredible and is a testament to your hard work and skill development. That left hook sounds especially satisfying, and it’s great to hear you came out with the unanimous decision. Your list of favorite fighters is excellent, blending legends and current greats. Ernesto Hoost and Andy Hug are timeless in kickboxing, while Superlek and Chatchai are absolute icons in Muay Thai. Watching fighters like them is always inspiring and can give you ideas to bring into your own game. What’s next for you after this win? Are you planning to compete again soon or take some time to refine your skills further?

Thank you man! I'm preparing for another fight on March 8th. Ideally I'll get another fight after that and then in August, there's the WKA Nationals. I really want to enter this year, so trying to stay active and keep pushing in training :)
