For awhile in the 90s, Tank Abbott may have been the most iconic of all fighters in the UFC. He was even on Friends. I do wonder though if they choose him based in early stereotype of "cage fighters" as basically tough man competitions.
Iconic MMA fighter. Conor isn't really Iconic for being an MMA fighter. Just a rich douche. Mayweather isn't an iconic Boxer, just a rich douche. Conor isn't at all what I think of when I think of a Mixed Martial Artist.I don't think a lot of people in this thread know what iconic means and just pick their top 3 favorites.
Going by the definition of iconic, Conor and Ronda are objectively, 100% the most iconic whether you love them or hate them. I would put GSP or Silva at #3
Royce is a legend but most average MMA fans know little to nothing about him and his accomplishments and/or are not even interested in the forming years of MMA, when he was king.. the sport was still small.
StocktonWhere are Diaz brothers?
Randy, GSP, Fedor, Silva, ...don't see I any other way watching it since it started. ...they were ICONIC...could not take away any one of them.This is not necessarily who the best MMA fighters are, but who are the most iconic.
Feel free to suggest some names and I'll consider adding it.
