Royce for sure, i remember when i was like 8 i was taking bjj at the gym uptown (it wasnt even called bjj it was just called 'Martial Arts', but there was alot of subs/takedowns/throws, with minimal striking) and i always loved how the small brazilian would make the big guys tap out(prolly cuz im a small guy myself) i think thats the reason i really got into the whole mma thing after seeing royce win the first ufc and the couple after that

I almost hate to say it ... but Bob Sapp. Not a real fan of the guy but I found his fights entertaining whether he was beating on someone or getting beat on himself.

There's so many great fighters I've watched that I can't really just pin it on one single fighter or fight. All the fights made me a fan.

Kinda cliche, but Ken Shamrock. You guys know why; WWE and all that.

Seems like im the newest fan here. I been a long time boxing fan so i think it was natural to like another combat sport but i never had cable till last year. I saw the build up to Hughes-Gracie and i was hooked before the match started.

a buddy of mine told me about Wanderlei and Pride, when I looked it up and watched a couple of his fights, I found Fedor. I had watched TUF but no too much, after watching those 2 guys, I was really hooked.

After Gerard Gordeau  (please refer to earlier post) ... and then ufc 2 and 3, that was the slam that got me back into mma after college and a long hiatus of not being able to afford PPV. |
