Don't like Brock?



Not really, didn't even like him when I was younger and still into WWE. Plus I think he's done steroids at some point in his life.
If you don't like a fighter due to suspected steroid use, you are in for a rude awakening. My bet is that half the guys on your list have tried it, or use it on a regular basis.

I don't have many favourite fighters really.

HW: No one.
LHW: Jon Jones, Lyoto Machida, Forrest Griffin.
MW: Nate, Damian Maia
WW: Nick Diaz
LW: Closest is probably BJ Penn (I was disappointed when he lost to GSP and happy when he defended his belt so guess that counts)

Nate only made my list this weekend, all the interviews leading up to and after the fight, rewatching his last few fights and him pulling out of the punch on Maia has honestly just made me a fan of the guy.

Oh and its not that I don't like the Heavy Weight division, its just I don't get behind any particular fighter, one fight I want one to lose, then in his next I want him to win. (Actually with HW I often want the one to win based on career options lol, so what the consequences could be etc ... real humanitarian of me!)

There are plenty of reasons not to like Brock, but come on, don't list "I think he's done steroids" as one of them and then have Chris Leben (who we know has done steroids) as one of your favourites.

Okay, I'm apparently not the same person as Susan, so even though our lists are pretty similar this isn't technically a double post.

HW: Overeem, Big Nog.
LHW: Mousasi, Machida, Jon Jones, Shogun I guess.
MW: Anderson, Okami, Hendo, Maia, Jacare.
WW: St. Pierre, Nick Diaz, Condit, Dustin Hazelett.
LW: Aoki, Alvarez, Toby Imada.
FW: Faber.
BW: Dominic Cruz.

I found that pretty funny as well.
