You spelled "favorite" wrong. Learn how to talk American.
All kidding aside, I recently started to like John Hathaway because of his cool upset over Diego Sanchez. He won it using great take down defense which I hadn't really seen from any British fighters until then. Cool stuff.
I went for Ross Pearson because he's improving with every fight, is humble and has all the tools and character to suceed.
There will be no Bisping or Daley-esque alienation of foreign fans from him, no sucker punches and the word is that he's working on developing a proper ground game, as opposed to the one-dimensinal British fighters we've seen so far.
Second choice would be John Hathaway, for most of the same reasons and the added fact that he seems to be the first guy putting a long held theory of mine into practise - namely that a familiarity with rugby can be applied to MMA as a alternative/addition to wrestling (which British kids just don't get the chance to study, EVER).

You mean the 2 British fighters who have poor wrestling??
I'm fed up with people saying stuff like "the one-dimensional British fighters", look at Bisping, Etim, Hathaway, Osipczak and Pearson.
Also, (this isn't directed at you) I think it's a tad funny that so many people now have Hathaway as their favourite Brit, when before his fight with Sanchez few people knew who he was and even less people had seen him fight.

I was at UFC 93 cheering for my Tom Egan the hometown favourite and Hathaway put a beating on him, since then i have followed and supported him although i will be honest I didn't knwo him before he signed with the UFC, I called Hathaway by UD against Sanchez.
