Rank the current Zuffa champions from a pure fanship stand point.

Who do you like the most? Least? And why? Admittedly, I am neglecting the Bellator champs at this time because I haven't followed the promotion as much as I would really have liked over the last 12 months or so. But feel free to rank them in a list with everyone.


1. Anderson Silva - I went from a Silva hater originally to a huge fan. He finishes fights with the best reflexes and skills of any stand up fighter ever in MMA. If we shrank Overeem down to his size, he'd knock him out in two minutes. This guy has reigned since 2006(that is insane to think) and it is getting real hard to make a strong counter argument to "best fighter of all time". I know the end is near, but I'll root for him until the end.

2. Ronda - Holy shit am I jumping on the band wagon. I have always been a strong supporter of WMMA in the face of a bunch of sexist douches writing for popular blogs who use "oh well ive seen enough amatuer WMMA to know I hate it" as a front for their sexism, and she is the best thing to happen to WMMA since Gina. I love Miesha, but I really started to feel bad as Ronda completely owned her and her horrible douchey boyfriend before the bout, and then she went in the cage and backed her smack up. This bitch is a fucking BOSS. She got Dana F White hype for a girl fight. It isn't fairweather to align behind a fighter who does what she does. That is rooting for those who deserve it. I love this chick man. (this post is brought to you by Living in the Moment)

3. JDS - This mo knocks fools the hell out. I love the fact he dispelled the "wrestlers who weigh a million pounds are the future" myth that I doubted long before most others. He proves that mid sized super athletic HW's will continue to dominate the sport with a mix of strength, skill and speed. He doesn't point fight. He performs fatalities.

4. Jose Aldo - Less high on him than I used to be, but still awesome. There once was a time where I argued he was the best P4P fighter in the sport, and I had a good case, but with that kind of discussion being so subjective, you gotta be killing fools to death on the regular to keep your name in the argument. He regained some of his dominance against Mendes. Part of why I am more luke-warm on him though is I expected him to be some kind of UFC Pacman, blitzing dudes with ferocious punches, and so far he hasn't been that. He let Faber off the hook. Wand would have killed him where he stood.

5. Jon Jones - Another fighter I am warming up to. I truly believe he ducked Rashad Evans at first to get some more time alone with Jackson, and some of the shit he says and does bothers me. Snitches get stitches. "It's my party and ill cry if I want to Rashad" But, at the same time, everything he does is dissected so much by MMA fans who hate him for the sake of. So now I feel like defending him more. Plus, he smashes fools like a fucking ninja-robo-BOSS. When he choked Machida out and left his lifeless corpse face first on the mat...he won me over. Machida is my favorite fighter possibly, but holy shit was that gangster. He also proved he can over come adversity after Machida rocked him in the first round. He also ruins the lives of mortal men while under the wing of Jackson, which adds even more points.

6. Gilbert Melendez - While his competition isn't quite as good as the UFC's LW division, he has still in my mind made a case for himself to be ranked the number 1 LW. He possess the best boxing imo in the weight class and brings the fight, looks for finishes. I really hope the Showtime fight comes to pass and the winner is granted a UFC shot.

7. Benson Henderson - This guy is exciting, well rounded, technical yet reckless enough to make for wild ass fights. His hair is bomb and he is sexier flat out than Sexyama or GSP. He reps for the late WEC. He'd be way higher on my list if he didn't assbabble about "all things thru christ" after his fights. Lame!

8. Luke Rockhold - This dude is bout it as well. He just doesn't have anyone to fight. Top 15 MW's in Strikeforce are elite fighters by definition, but I really want to see him fight some better guys than a washed up Keith and Tim Kennedy. I'd rank him higher on my next list if he can land a couple of those sweet fucking spin kicks he throws. That shit is gangstorious. He is higher on my list than a significantly better fighter like GSP because I know when Luke fights, I am going to get high level MMA with excitement, flash, and drama.

9. GSP - Don't get it twisted, I love GSP. But he has refused to engage fools with the killer instinct, and has become every negative Jackson stereotype. He doesn't have a ton of power, but he never throws more than two power punches with bad intentions in a row. I think the last time I saw him unload with a heavy combination, the bell saved Matt Hughes(for a lil while anyway) With his speed and athletic advantages, he should be putting guys away. I like guys that war. GSP does not war. I have to make myself remember why I root for him sometimes. It isn't that I want to see him lose, I want to see him be more aggressive.

10. Condit - I love this fighter too. But I was so deflated after that Diaz fight. There is a difference between fighting smart, and ruining a promised dog fight and failing the fans by running across the cage. He is an interm champ and won on a fight I hated. Good win, smart game plan, he did deserve the nod, I agree with all that, but I am still not imprezz wit hiz performanz. Just bleed.

11. Dominick Cruz - Man I try not to hate on dude. I do. He is dominant no doubt, and he has a really unique, successful style, But he NEVER looks for finishes. He should be taking dudes out. I really felt that he should have lost all the rounds he was knocked down in by Faber and shouldn't be the champion at all right now. I am very Pro Faber, and that also causes me to root against him. And I do kind of think he comes off as a douche. But I dig his rags to riches story. I just hope Faber finishes him inside two rounds and thus never has to fight him again.


I can't decide who I like the most between the three remaining flyweight title hopefuls and any of those guys coming out of the tourny would be freaking awesome, but if I had to pick, I go with my man Joe-Jitsu.

oh that's hard lol.

Ronda is an annoying bitch. You don't pay much attention if you question why I don't root for and am not a fan of people I don't care for.

Some people might say a 'skinhead fights good so I'm a bandwagoner', I say fuck that skin.

Answer be me this, why are you a fan of people you are not a fan of?

First, you're barely black. Second, you actively dislike most black fighters for dubious reasons. Some bizarre self hatred. Like when MLK Jr on tape said "tonight im not a negro!!!" while beating down some white women in a hotel.

Shut the fuck up with your race baiting bullshit

I mean this with no disrespect but admittedly I also gloss over your posts more these days than I should. "annoying bitch" isn't a very good answer and indicates to me you're threatened by a strong woman which indicates sexism rooted in insecurity but I am no Dr Phil, more like the Funk Dr Spock, and your question isn't a very good question. What do you mean "a fan of people I am not a fan of"? I don't watch MMA for the human aspects only. I am a fan of fighters I don't like personally. If we never heard anything about any fighters, and we only knew about their in cage performances, Chael Sonnen would have few if any real fans and Jon Jones would be everyone's favorite fighter. I am worried you're going to start pretending you don't understand the concept of "I like the fighter, not the person". That is where I see this going. Don't do this GDP.

Describe being black for me? Actually I don't, The two black fighters that I don't like on that list have a bad attitude and I don't like it. I was a fan but when the real came out I stopped being a fan. The other stuff I have no clue what you are talking about.

1. JDS- What's not to like about JDS, he's a fuckin killer in the cage, and he seems like a real good guy. Although I'll be routing for Reem in their title fight I still hold JDS in very high regards and wouldn't be pissed at all if he proves to be the better man.

2. Anderson- He's probably only my number two because of the couple of lackluster proformances that left me scratching my head. He may very well go down as the best ever.

3. Aldo- Ever since I saw the instant KO of cub swanson by double flying knee, I've been a huge fan. Exciting, amazing fighter

4. Bendo- With his fast wild pace I haven't seen a boring Bendo fight and that's enough to keep him high in my fanship ratings. Plus the props to Jesus don't hurt either.

5. Gil- If they weren't gonna give Showtime a shot at Hendersons belt, I think they should've given it to Gil.

6. Condit- Yeah I don't like how his fight with Nick went but I'm still a big fan of Carlos, hopefully he will re-earn his nickname in his next fight.

7. Ronda- I think this chick is legit, she an awsome grappler so of course I like her. Hoping she can keep that hype going for the better of wmma.

8. Cruz- This guy is a great fighter but there's just something about him that rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it's because Faber beat him in my eyes in their second fight and he acts like Faber has nothing for him. Ugh don't like that dude.

9. Jones- I can't stand Jon Jones

10. GSP- Greesegate

That is delusional, tell me you don't read or watch interviews that all you have ever seen of anything MMA is what happens between bells, that you have zero insight on anything other than the fight itself. And you are no doctor Phil, and maybe you don't know much about bitches other than easy prey on your ipad. Annoying bitches come in all shapes and sizes, colors and ages, including athletes.

I haven't noticed any pattern of Josh hating on black fighters at all.

LOL from what some of my friends tell me it's pretty sweet, I wonder if it's only half as sweet for my mixed cousins?

1. Carlos Condit - one of my favorites. Soft-spoken dude who's a motha fucka in the cage. Looking forward to many more years

2. Ronda Rousey - the new face of women's MMA and honestly much more of a fighter than Gina Carano could have ever been. Get ready to have those arms mangled ladies, this bitch isn't playing games. She beats Caraway by armbar IMO

3. Benson Henderson - hard for me to imagine him being a bad fight in this current LW division. Cardio for days, and his striking has come leaps and bounds over the last year or two. I can't get enough of this dude posturing to the crowd going into round 5 like he still has another 5 in him if need be

4. Jose Aldo - back to bringing the violence. One of those dudes I almost wish would just move up now but he can do his thing at 145 for a while longer. Haven't really seen a whole lot of this killer BJJ we hear about, but his triking is tops

5. Gilbert Melendez - the only guy out of that camp I like as a fighter and a person. Another dude who can go 25 and has great standup. Would've beat up Edgar had that fight been made IMO. Bring on Pettis

6. JDS - exciting fighter. Finishes fights

7. Rockhold - still feels so new. Can do everything though, good fighter. Stay healthy

8. Dom Cruz - I think his fights are exciting regardless of the lack of finishes. I think he will get more as his sub game improves and he uses his wrestling like he did against MM

9-11. Jones, Anderson, GSP...much respect for all as fighters but when I root for them to lose almost every time out I have to put them at the bottom of the list. GSP I just want to go back to having a killer instinct. Guys like Shields and Hardy shouldn't be lasting 25 minutes with him. Anderson and Jones I just can't stand. Anderson actually has a foil that I want to see beat him though, while the 205 division has gotten really stale

You've taken it as personal as those fat bitches on Okcupid take it when you hit and don't call em back. Ya, you're like they are. Now you feel me? It all makes sense doesn't it?

Maybe Josh does have a natural built in for hatred for black fighters. Much like how white people are predisposed to hate Duke because they have intelligent white players on their team that aren't as athletic as other big schools. Its a fascinating social element to think about

My opinion is simple and concise, and you get it, but it is against your tired narrative here to do anything other then argue it. If there is a side to pick with a single straw to grasp, it's yours, especially if that puts you into a minority, actual opinion be damned.

This is pure unadulterated assbabble. You don't like the fighters as humans so you ignore their skills as fighters? Is that your opinion? I can relate to that. I don't agree with it but I can relate to that.

And jumping on the Ronda bandwagon doesn't put me in any minority. However, that is an interesting piece of analysis. I have a great bit I am working on and wana open my show with about how I am more of a minority than anyone else in the world.
