    i'm fairly new to the sport and i've been wondering who have been the most liked, and most hated fighters throughout mma history?

    i'd imagine that chuck liddell and randy couture would definitely be in the top 10 most liked by the fans?
    tito ortiz and bisping would probably get into the top 10 most hated fighters?

    For me its Aoki/ Couture

    For others, its probably Fedor/ Lesnar

    Fedor/Ortiz for most loved and hated fighter.
    Ortiz is the guy who embarrasses you in front of your whole family

    Couture, Wandy and BJ Penn have to be the most liked fighters ever. And adding to that, BJ Penns fan base probably have the most adoration for him then any other fanbase. He has very very loyal and dedicated fans.

    Ortiz is the most hated, in a sense that he had the MOST haters.

    Bisping is the most hated, in a sense that those who hate him, their HATE is very strong.

    Sakuraba is generally loved, though there is a section of Japanese fans who really dislike him but they tend to be the hardcore old school martial arts guys.

    You'll have to look pretty hard to find someone who doesn't like Nogueira. The guy is just a class act, total gentleman.

    Yoshida is pretty well respected. Doesn't have the best of records but his wars with Wanderlei Silva earned him a lot of praise, and like Big Nog he's a classy guy. Many of the Japanese guys like Yuki Kondo, Genki Sudo and Akira Shoji are respected because of their "bushido spirit".

    Don Frye is a bit of a cult hero to most fans aswell.

    Ricardo Arona :lol:

    Peace seems to have broken out between them all now but the BTT - Chute Boxe rivalry was really intense at one point so there are a fair few Brazillians who still don't like him. Though most fighters speak very highly of him, unlike Matt Hughes and Gilbert Yvel who lots of their fellow fighters say are assholes.

    ufc unleashed has just started being shown down here, today one of the fights was ortiz vs liddell, really enjoyable too.
    so what did ortiz do to get all the hate? i've read in the past that he was a bit of a poster-boy for the ufc in the early days?

    i'd forgotten about mr koscheck, he is a real villain and fans love to hate him. actually i'd like him and leben to fight again.

    Most hated are probably Ortiz, Koscheck, maybe Lesnar.
