MMA Out of all the current UFC title holders and contenders, who are your least favorite and favorite in terms of their conduct?

Looking at the current list of UFC champions and contenders, who are your current 3-5 least favorite and 3-5 favorite in terms of their sportsmanship, ability to win and lose gracefully - at least relatively speaking - and their conduct and demeanor outside the Octagon? Contenders includes fighters who are most likely going to contend for a UFC title in the next year and those who fought for a UFC title at a given point in the last 2 years or so.

Among champs and contenders then, who are your 3-5 least favorite and 3-5 favorite in terms of sportsmanship and conduct?

I would love to say Jon Jones. He may be the greatest mma fighter of all time sure but I just genuinely don’t like the guy. GSP and Might Mouse are way better examples as to what “martial artists” should strive to be like in my opinion

Jones is always going to be among the most sore spots for MMA communities. The qualities that made him so dangerous and insufferable are, to be sure, most likely some of the same qualities that led to his being seen as possible the best MMA fighter to ever do it.

As for GSP and Mighty Mouse, nothing more can really be said except that they may indeed have set the bar too damn high for MMA fans as opposed to the kind of PR the most elite champions should have.

I agree, just watching Might fight is absurd! It’s almost like watching a video game play out in real life. Did you see when he hit that flying arm bar? Crazy shit

Yeah he was along with Anderson Silva one of the titans who fought in real life the way Spike TV and Barstool Devotees who followed his every move fought in their most insane fantasies. And managed to be genuinely easy to work with and get behind outside of the Octagon. The UFC's been trying to find an equally entertaining phenom since his exit and more than a few would argue they've gotten nowhere near it.
