RavishingRickRudo

I'll try to make this a regular feature on this board. Top Ten Most Entertaining Fighters: 1. Fedor 2. Shogun 3. Pulver 4. Hansen 5. Gomi 6. Sakuraba 7. Sudo 8. Jackson 9. Rodrigo Nogueira 10. Belfort A purely subjective list, these are the top 10 fighters I've enjoyed watching. Fedor is number 1, probably because I gay for him, which means I've enjoyed every fight of his that I have seen and they never get boring. Shogun is nuts and fights without concern or restraint. Pulver is so fucking great right now, even though he loses half the time, seemingly. Hansen is just badass. Gomi had a string of great fights up to his loss recently, I love the way he works body shots with his wild punches. Sakuraba falls a bit on the list just due to the past few years, but at his peak, he defined this list. Genki Sudo gets in because of his entrances, and his giant swing into a leg lock, and his whackiness. Quinton Jackson used to be good and entertaining, ya know? The slams against Satake, Sakuraba, Arona, Vovchancyn. Once upon a time this guy would take wreckless risks and it would pay off for him. Nogs fights against Herring, Sapp, Hendo, Fedor, Cro Cop... are some of the best I've ever seen. Shit, I should have him higher up the list.. But in regards to excitement, its more Nog taking a beating and coming back from it, that makes those matches great, rather than Nog being an exciting fighter. Belfort squeaks in because there was a short period of time when he was insanely exciting and that peak was so high that it puts him on this list.

OH GOD FEDOR NO!!!

It wasn't Inoki, though Inoki pushed that concept for decades. I guess Sakuraba was a pretty good amateur wrestler, trained in the Takada Dojo and learned catch style wrestling with Billy Robinson and had the perfect style to defeat traditional BJJ fighters.

Kazushi Sakuraba was a pro wrestler (UWF-i) before he was a fighter.

Pretty much everything up to his second fight with Silva offers something great from Saku.

Ryan Bennett on the LAW said that Tim Sylvia told him that he fought Arlovski with a broken arm (which he broke 2 weeks prior).

So is that guy good, or sumthin? Cuz he looked good.

I nominate Tito Ortiz vs. Forrest Griffin. Just a dope fight. Tons of drama, great story, great atmosphere.

Sylvia beating Arlovski doesn't really do anything for Sylvia, it just makes Arlovski look bad. Yes, everyone, this is another example of the dreaded Baroni Effect. The HW division is a joke. I feel sorry for Vera, he should go down to LHW.

Good show. Great fight in Tito/Forrest. Yay Tanner. Boo Heavyweight Division. Poor Goat.

Newsradio fans. Obsessive, celebrity-stalking, fans. Maybe fans that do SNL show reviews. Those kinda fans.

I think Forrest was just "morphing" his face, so he was smiling before he passed his hand over his face and not smiling after the hand passed. I dunno how successful it was, but that's what I think he was trying to do.

How are those podcasts? I see them listed at tv.com but never bothered to check em out.

I made that comment *right* after watching it. Jesus Christ. He took Tanner down.

Alex Shoenhauer would probably shoot it.

Best Story Ever.

What's the deal with the cereals with bits of fruit in them? Like the ones that have strawberries. That can't possibly have any nutritional value.

That's AWESOME. Plus, Titos brash and cocky persona worked only when he was winning. Now he has to be humble.

I don't think I have a favourite cereal. I might have to try Vector. But that doesn't sound like a cereal. Maybe if it were called "Morning Crunch".

This is an awful, awful thread. Which I just made worse with this post. But it's not like anything was lost. I'd say it deserves the soup treatment, but I think it has grown too large and powerful in its dumbassery... the soup treatment could barely dent it. Perhaps if the soup treatment were combined with the sandwhich approach, cheese and crackers tactic, and the toast and jam attack, it could be taken down.

Tito is trying to get the fans to love him again. And dammit, he got Matt an interpreter, that's fucking class.

I loved Joes punching exchanges. They need Arlovski on their show just to have a staredown with Steiner.

It's odd that a guy on SPIKETV can't be called Spike. They should (ok they shouldn't) commentate his matches like "And a great move by SPIKE..TV is proud to present TNA Impact!"
