Top 5 in no real order
Rampage-great fighter and very funny guy out of the octagon. Been a fan of is since seeing his pride fight with Chuck on FSN on day.
Jon Fitch-Liked the guy since seeing a replay of one of his fights on spike a liked the fact he look a little crazy.
Forrest-Liked him since hearing about the fight in which he broke his arm while in an arm bar while knocking out his opponent.
GSP-Got on my list for beating Hughes twice since I don't like Hughes.
Frank Mir-Mostly on here because of the Ulitimate Knockouts dvds of some of his early fights. Really glad to see him getting back to were he was as he is one guy that I kind of felt bad for as he was coming into his own and gets hurt in a crash that wasn't his fault and during his time out the UFC starts to get really going good and he could have been one of the big advertised guys from the start of that swing if he was healthy.

I was always a Shamrock fan (before he was in WWF) I still have the first 10 UFC's on VHS. Ortiz and Jackson are up there for "now" fighters Shamrock was one of my favorites when I first started watching, too. I remember being all bummed out when he was killed by Rich Franklin on the Ultimate Finale for the first season of TUF. After really doing my research and watching all of his fights, though, I realized that Ken isn't superman, and should have retired after his UFC 40 fight with Tito Ortiz. My favorite UFC fighters are Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture. Whenever I say that on MMAForum, all the guys call me a TUF noob, who is some one who started watching with the Ultimate Fighter 1. That honestly couldn't be farther from the truth. It was the first season that really brought me into the UFC, but it wasn't because I was seeing it for the first time. It was because it was starring my two favorite guys, and here they were every week.I was absolutely crushed at UFC 71 when Rampage took out the Iceman. I wasn't shocked that Liddell lost. Hell, I wasn't even that surprised. I was angry. Angry that even though I'm yelling "Be patient!!! Keep your hands up, Chuck! Hands UP!!!!" he still dropped them long enough for Jackson to hit the off switch. UFC 76 was really rough for me, when Chuck took the loss against Jardine. I was so, so angry watching that fight because I knew what the decision was going to be. I don't think I spoke for a good 4 hours after I heard the words, "By split decision..... The DEEEEEEAAAAN, of MEEEAAAN."  UFC 57 was hard on me, too. Here were my two favorites, battling it out for the third time. The first round went clearly to Chuck, stuffing Randy's take down attempts and breaking his nose with a hard right hook. I was confident that Randy would come back in the second, and I was right. I wouldn't say it was down right decisive, but I think Randy took the round. Shortly into the third, BAM. Randy was down, and it was done. As you all know, after the fight, he retired. I was very disappointed, but was more than glad when he came back and dominated Sylvia for the Heavyweight title. That is something that bothers me about some of the mma forums alot are filled with people who really did start watching during TUF and try to rag on others and pretend they have been fans from the start. If you were saying only contestents from the show that haven't done much since then maybe, but you mention two legends that are or will be in the UFC hall of fame and have put on the most talked about series of matches in the companies history. |

It's either Georges St. Pierre or "El Matador" Roger Huerta. Both are awesome fighters. One is a current champ and I believe the other will be a future champ.

Josh Koscheck. I thought this guy was a jerk in the first season of ultimate fighter but he improved so much from that time to now.
Andrei Arlovski is another.
