Ninja's Place Most Popular MMA Fighter Tournament- Rd 1(please vote)

Except if four of those match ups involve two guys you really like or two guys you don't like at all. It all comes down to the match ups you made determining results that inaccurately reflect what we like. It's fun but it doesn't make any logical sense in telling who is the most popular at all.

Well at the end the guy that wins it means he beat the winner of the other matchups.

How will it not determine the most popular? The 1 guy that ends up winning it will do so because he was more liked in every matchup he was involved in.

But peoples 2nd favorite fighter can go up against the consensus #1 in the first rnd, and then be out of the mix(you know guys on here are not digging Brock vs Cain in rnd 1).

Meanwhile a Diego Sanchez(arguments sake) gets to rnd 2 despite not being an overly popular guy(again arguments sake)

Freak, if you want to know who is the most popular you don't make hypothetical tournament where you establish who is even considered to begin with, there are a lot of universally more popular guys not even included here and some guys that are who have a small following at best. Popularity is not a head to head competition. Make a thread asking who everyone's top 3 or 5 popular fighters are and tabulate that if you want a real look at who is popular.

Give me ten minutes and I'll survey the site. Everyone already has their favorites listed.

Just let it go guys. The fun police want to ruin everything.

Voting closed.
