Ive been trying to work out exactly what it is that I look for in a fighter or their personality? or what others think? 3 fighters spring to mind that I love who are: Fedor, Shogun and Sakuraba. 3 humble and entertaining fighters that show class in respect of their opponents. I think well maybe it's that, yet some other fighters that I love are: Paul Daley, Nick Diaz and Michael Bisping, who can be disrespectful and arrogant arseholes(even though I like their style of fighting).
Jon Jones and Jake Shields are polar opposites to each other. Bones is an entertaining and talented fighter that has a terrible personality and really bad attributes. Jake Shields is a good fighter but is one of the most boring and non entertaining of fighters around. He's a good dude though. I love Jones fighting and hate him as a person. I hate Shields fighting but like him as a person.
Something that interested me was from a quote from Thedoop: "I for one, like JBJ...Skilled fighter...that's the only category that counts in my books". I have no problem with Doop, but his favourite fighters are Nick Diaz and Jon Jones and it's pretty obvious that he likes their fighting ONLY, because "the only category that counts in my books" comment means that he decides to ignore their personalities. It's his opinion of course, but if I don't like a fighters personality and say it then other people shouldn't be jumping on me for not liking him.
I don't know, maybe I'm reading too much into it, but what do you think that you look for in a fighter?
