Your most exciting fighter in MMA history?

[oldschoolmmafan]

I got chills when watching certain fighters step into an arena to fight. Remembering back to fighters like Saku, Rizzo, Igor, Cro Cop and Fedor would walk in, I could hardly control myself. Not many fighters in the modern era have given me that type of feeling other than GSP, Hunt, Khabib.

Just based on the fight itself, not weighing in stakes, rankings, etc. I would say Justin G, just sickeningly exciting fights.

Hayato Sakurai was bottled lightning for his entire career (even his decision wins/losses were fun to watch)...

His fight with Hansen is probably my favorite fight of all time.

 

[Canned Tuna]

NBK of course

 

[Askren’s chin]

Marty from Nebraska of course

 

[Nathan LaMontagne]

Genki Sudo

 

[elreece]

Rich Franklin, always delivered and was a quality champ.

 

[13Seconds]

Anderson Silva when he was the MW champ. You just knew some crazy shit would go down as soon as the "Ain't no sunshine" song came on...

Also, i don't like the guy but Conor is right up there as far as excitement goes. Has he ever had a boring fight? The Holloway fight was kinda boring but both guys was injured.

 

[TheMessiah]

These two

 

[Murder_KickHC]

Conor McGregor by far because he doesnt just talk the talk but also walks the walk.

Melvin Manhoef

Marty from Nebraska of course

Vicente Luque is usually guaranteed violence. Always get excited for his fights.

 

[Chael_Sonnen]

Luke Rockhold. Kill or be killed.

His fight with Weidman was awesome, until Herb Dean decided to let Weidmans brain become mush.

and never defends.

I used to like Gonzaga for this too. You knew when you were watching his fights that either him or the other guy were going to sleep

His fights with Maia, Leites, and Cote were all pretty bad...

But yes, even watching those fights as they were happening, I was still on the edge of my seat because he just had that ability to finish the fight at any moment.

Minoru Suzuki was always tons of fun to watch in my opinion.
