Some good choices there. I can't say Im a big Ortiz fan. Hie fighting skills are great, it's his mouth after fights that puts me off. Last night for example, he just doesn't take a loss fairly.

I am not trying to start a fight/argument here, but why do you like Tito so much? He hasn't stopped anyone not named Shamrock since 2001. It seems as though the game passed him by.
Anyway, my favorites in the UFC are: (In no order)
Heavyweight Rodrigo Nogueira Mirko Cro Cop (I still have a soft spot for the guy) Shane Carwin Cain Velasquez Gabe Gonzaga Frank Mir Paul Buentello Junior Dos Santos Pat Barry Heath Herring
Light Heavyweight Rogerio Nogueira Shogun Rua Rich Franklin Randy Couture Thiago Silva Lyoto Machida Vladimir Matyushenko Keith Jardine (I'm not sure why I like his style so much) Forrest Griffin Rashad Evans
Middleweight Anderson Silva Vitor Belfort Wanderlei Silva (Gotta love the guy) Yoshihiro Akiyama Demian Maia Rousimar Palhares Nate Marquardt Nate Quarry Danis Kang Wilson Gouveia
Welterweight Georges St-Pierre Matt Hughes Thiago Alves Jon Fitch Paul Daley Ricardo Almeida Mike Swick Anthony Johnson Matt Brown Marcus Davis
Lightweight BJ Penn Nate Diaz Roger Huerta Kenny Florian Tyson Griffin Sean Sherk Joe Stevenson Kurt Pellegrino (Trained with him many times, so gotta give him some love) Clay Guida Melvin Guillard (Not the most technically good, but gotta love that power of his)

Well I ahve said it before but Ill re-explain it because you probably never read it before. I like Tito so much because he is the main reason why I got into MMA. I was a wrestling fan and I was watching TNA then I caught an episode of TUF3 one night after IMPACT. I was so entertained by Ken and Tito but I liked Tito alot more. This also explains my love for Kendall Grove. TUF 3 was when I started watching MMA but I started watching alot of older fights and back in Titos day when he was champion and dominating people his style was so entertaining to me. I loved his attitude and charisma. I know he is nothing like he used to be and is somewhat one dimentional but he is the number one reason why I got into MMA and will always be my favorite fighter because of it... Ever since then I have been so into MMA and I have even drifted away from pro wrestling. I have no interest in it anymore. Its been over a year since I watched wwe...

Very good list you have there mate, save doing a big huge list of everyone i just did a little one of my all time favourites.
1. Chuck Liddell (one of the main things that got me into the sport) 2. Brock Lesnar (Really got me full on into the sport) 3. BJ Penn 4. Forrest Griffin 5. Cheick Kongo 6. Kendall Grove 7. Randy Couture 8. Rich Franklin 9. Anderson Silva 10. Frank Mir
I have to say when i first started to get into MMA fighting, the one thing that sealed it for me was when i watched the Ultimate Fighter.
