I became a huge fan when he was the first guy to beat Gomi. From there he had a string of sick KO's and fights in general. I just never stopped being a fan even when he moved to 145 and ritualistically got his ass kicked.

[Mr. IWS]

HW - Mir, Overeem, Brock, Cormier
LHW - Rashad (he has grown on me for some reason)
MW - Anderson, Sonnen,
WW - Condit, Nick Diaz
LW - BJ, Barboza
FW - Aldo, Joe Warren,
BW - LOL (when florian cuts down to Bantam weight, He will be my fav)

Guys I used to like who started to turn me off: Anderson Silva, Shinya Aoki.

[SPX]

Those are some weird fucking picks there, Svino.

Lil' Nog? Gray Maynard?

No faves at FW?

I won't even touch Kyle Maynard . . . I know that was a joke.

And how did Silva and Aoki "turn you off"?

[poopoo333]

I wonder if Kyle Maynard would be able to sub Pat Barry

[Thewisemann]

HW Carwin, JDS, Nog
LHW Hendo, Shogun, Ortiz
MW Wanderlai, Sonnen, Stann
WW Penn, Condit, Diaz
LW Edgar, Diaz, Melendez
FW Aldo, Warren,
Bw Benavidez, Faber,add Belfort to my MW list

I don't think Little Nog is a weird pick. Maynard and Fitch are on the list because I've always believed in them and they've been pretty good to me betting-wise. As for guys under LW, I just don't have many favorites.

Silva just started getting a bit weird after the Leites fight. He started attacking a lot of guys (like Vitor) in the media. (And I wish he would have just come out and admit that he fought the way he did against Maia and Leites because he was afraid of the ground.)

With Aoki -- you know the incident. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAzSViSi23s
