Who are the 3 most iconic MMA fighters of all-time?

[Kumason]

Conor with 81 votes lol, noob city

 

[Pierced7681]

I picked Conor, Chuck and Rousey as I feel all three were in the right place at the right moment and caused business to really pickup for the ufc during their eras. You could maybe swap Chuck out for Tito, but Tito wasn’t champ when the ufc started to really catch on fire around the world.

 

[Isaiah095]

Probably Chuck, Conor and Ronda.

This was my answer as well. Not necessarily to me, but it definitely is true to the casual audience.

 

[Taric]

I think when a casual fan thinks of MMA they immediately think of GSP, Anderson, and Conor

 

[chinarice]

Going with Fedor, GSP and Silva

 

[Strijfy]

Come on now with the Fedor picks. No one outside of MMA fans knows who he is. GSP was way more iconic at his pinnacle, how the fuck is Fedor leading GSP, lol.

just because you dont have a fucking clue, doesnt mean everyone else doesnt

 

[Strijfy]

Anyone who leaves off Royce should be insta-banned.

Royce
Conor
Fedor

quite the contrary , anyone who puts Conor instead of ken Shamrock , needs to go learn some history..and then get banned

 

[BigOlJeet]

Lol @ TS for putting Conor's name with those greats.

Troll thread confirmed.

 

[Tapatio]

CM Punk
Cindy Dandois
Dana Wife Beater

 

[WokeWarrior]

Iconic sonic blah blah
at the end of the day the greatest the best p4p UFC fighter is Jon jones
followed by ANDERSON, DC mighty mouse usman
and izzy !

 

[WokeWarrior]

being iconic in MMA doesnt hold much merit in the outside world.
mma icons dont hold a candle to the ICONS in BOXING !
theres nothing Connor ronda chuck brock could ever do to top
freaking MIKE TYSON. the crowds are just way too different culturally too.
Izzy despite him being cringe and weird would be a bigger star same with anderson had they did BOXING and their skills transferred. imagine prime anderson in boxing versus a Roy jones jr , Holy crap. Imagine izzy in boxing right now....he'd still be cringe but he'd be right at home..


bruce lee took inspiration from the great Muhammed Ali,
connor took after Floyd ali and the culture. same with suga sean.
for christ sakes connor comes out with Biggie talking bout he a MAC. like
pretty blatant MMA fighters are missing that IT factor. that edge. Nate and nick
are NOT HOOD AT ALL, but they are marketed as some street gang bangers.
when in boxing they would get laughed at and looked at as juggalos.
even in the golden era of UFC, 2006-2012 Nobody freaking cared about MMA.

 

[Dr. Rose]

Totally forgot about him, that's a good one. Can't fit him in the poll anymore it's all full. : - (

No worries, hard to argue with the list you made. I, personally, would not have put newer fighters on there because when I think "iconic" I think more historically. But that is just me, and like I said, it is hard to argue with your list.

 

[Bork Neslar]

Who cares. Just watch the fucking fights and shut up. Lists are useless.

 

[L0ki]

Cro Cop and the LHK immediately popped in my head.

I saw something about Wand a second ago, so that's coming to mind.

Reem.

That could change just as easily, though.

 

[TCE]

Fedor, Silva, Sakuraba.

 

[Khonor McGomedov]

Royce
GSP
Conor

Different generations who changed the game and helped put UFC on the map.

 

[TCE]

Who cares. Just watch the fucking fights and shut up. Lists are useless.

It's almost like we aren't on a discussion board, where threads like these can generate good discussion ... Oh wait...

How about you shut up and delete your account. Why join in the first place if you don't want to participate in discussion on an MMA discussion forum ?

 

[BowserJr]

Fedor is GOAT but not iconic globally since he never went to UFC which has massively overshadowed pride and all other orgs drastically

GSP
Andy
Conor (just cuz his out of cage persona)

 

[Neck&Neck]

What about who is the most bionic?

 

[arrmike]

In order they popped in my head before seeing the choices:
Royce. Literally defined the first UFC events.
Sakuraba. Represented the Japanese spirit in martial arts.
Fedor. The stoic GOAT.

Not necessarily the three most recognizable faces or best fighters (aside from Fedor), but icons.
