    First two to my head were Wanderlie's hand rolls and Brock Lesnar bouncing up and down looking ready to storm at you.

    Obviously Wanderlei springs immediatley to mind.

    Randleman looks like a mean mother ****er imo, always hyper prior to the fight, pity he is pretty **** poor.

    A bloke with the shittest "intimidating" stare imo is Diego Sanchez....the guy looks like he is 14.

    Prime Mark Kerr owns all. Nothing was close to how fearsome he was. Wandy is 2nd just got his brutal stare downs.

    Wandy and Rampage have THE BEST staredowns
    Anderson is intimidating as hell with his "I don't give a **** about you" attitude and swagger he brings to the ring
     
  6. Cyborg..... that dude is scary!!

    Randy Couture

    Anybody can stomp about or sneer... it's something else entirely to see a legend looking almost bemused at the opponent before him.

    Somebody with that kind of attitude is more intimidating that what you typically would expect to see.

    Keith Jardine springs to my mind the guy is ugly as **** and that might actually be a damn complement. The thought of this ****** looking guy beating my ass would scare me shitless. Imagine what his victims go through like hey Chuck or hey Brandon remember back in the day when that ugly guy kicked your ass ? Ehh he just doesnt look normal watching him when hes tired is pure comedy.

    Another guy who i think is like that apart from Fedor is Matt Hughes.

    James Thompson would be intimidating if you didn't know that you will probably KO him by breathing on him at the staredown.

    Met the guy in JD sports in Bolton, and to be honest i expected him to be alot bigger than he was, and hes lucky i was drunk or i would have had to get him as my wifes tongue was scraping on the floor:D

    Got me photo with him on my wifes phone but the ***** lost it.

    I must say this though he is a very nice guy.

    BJ Penn does that thing just before the fight where he is shaping up and staring a hole in his opponent- it's like he's flicked his kill switch and has only one thing left to do.

    Actually thats a good call. In PRIDE if you didnt know who he was you would have thought he was a monster. James i think studied psychology and knew how to get audiences behind him so he played up to the part and the Japanese loved him. His eyes would dart all over the place and he'd move his head frantically like some psychopath and beat his hands. Alas it didnt really work as he was a ***** cat in the ring with no chin.
