Generally, I personally do not care for the P4P/Goat list and arguments that come with them but everyone has their Favorite Fighters. Not necessarily Champs or the Greatest but ya love em just the same. The beauty of this list is its yours and no one can truly debate your' choices. Curious to know who's on Yours...Top 5, 10, Past and Present, whatever. All responses are appreciated

I also cheer for anyone from Alpha Male or Blackzillians, Overeem, Evans, Trujillo, Mendes, Castillo, Dillishaw, Holdsworth come to mind and tend to cheer for Canadians. Stoudt, Makdessi, Gagnon.

Guillard - doesn't seem to give a flying f--- about what happens, goes into the cage and attempts to take his opponents head off. Makes for exciting fights but doesn't always make for exciting fights he wins.
GSP - boring, yes, one could argue, but the facts remain. He is one of the p4p best fighters in all of MMA, and probably the best welterweight in UFC. couple that in with the facts that he is the textbook definition of a gentlemen that was born in canada, he is one likable dude.
Barao - Alright, he may not have been in the big leagues forever but he is still very talented. People say that when fighters win a belt they start fighting safe, but Renan Barao is an exception, or an anomaly. Renan Ba-Rao-Rao-Rao-Rao-Rao 31 in a row, hasn't lost in a while, has jens pulvers smile. I expect him to beat faber everywhere at ufc 169.
Sam Stout - Fighting out of my hometown, i've heard a lot of rumors at my high school about sam stout (most of which i figure to be obvious lies considering the ridiculousness of their nature). Basically, he gets into a lot of good fights and despite seeming to somewhat slow down recently, he still has a lot of great fights under his belt and there is still plenty of lightweights in the ufc i'd pick him to beat.
Darren Elkins - blue collar, hard worker. Has a great ground game, and ever improving striking. Doesn't trash talk, make excuses or anything. Always shows up to give it his all. Elkins is one of my favorites to watch

Lyoto Machida and Carlos Condit
I take the set ups they use in the cage and apply it to my Muay Thai training. A Right Cross is one of my favourite Counters to use.
I throw most of my flying knees like Condit does in the Kim fight.
I use this set up, but with a Cut Kick instead of a leg kick to start. Everything looks sloppy atm in comparison but I'll get there.
The first 3 strikes in this GIF are beautiful
Our TDD is the same too
