Look I’m gonna be honest, there was a time where I thought Chan Sung Jung and The Korean Zombie were 2 different fighters
Dude I didn't realize they where the same person tell I read your comment
But I do love me some Korean zombie
Tony Ferguson is type of guy who pretends to be nasty so he won't make it to this list.
Hes the type of guy to get destroyed by justin
@@marcusmvpgoat1236 He's the type of guy to wait to use Santeria in the octagon to see if it works and get beaten to a pulp.
@@nealdamkjer192 loooll
@@marcusmvpgoat1236 justin is the type of guy to smeshed by eddie and dustin
@@silvergiovanni5336 😭💯💯
Damn, seeing Masvidal go from well liked to disliked overtime is sad
Its not sad. It is what it is. He did it to himself.
@@57reiska tru
And hes back to being liked haha
@@orbybosch9160 aaaand disliked again hahaha
It's the angle he wanted! He was going for the asshole guy role because he thought thsts what the dominant view was n now he's back to being the humble guy! Jorge is all hype n is a shitty fighter in anything but backyards. His highlight reel is more known for his unprecedented loss then any win he has had. Only ufc guys think hes anything.
Odd that DC was is #1 when he could easily make a top 10 most hated currently as well lol
Americans love to hate on others :D
shit if nobody is hating that means your not doing it right!!
He’s been a little annoying lately
DC IS A HYPOCRITE CHEAT, PROTECTED BY ESPN AND UFC GATEKEPT CABAL
Yes, very true. I haven't seen anyone praised DC. It seems everyone hates him.
Honourable mention : Dustin
JustinC He’s one of the realest guy’s in the entire sport. No trash talk, he’s just ready to scrap. He’s worked ridiculously hard to get to the top having nothing as a kid. Also, he set-up the Good Fight Foundation to help kids in Louisiana. He’s a badass dude with a great personality
@@scottfisher295 my thoughts exactly. I like Poirier over half the list
@@scottfisher295 And that was a badass comment to match
@@19jtown I don't get this mentality. Usually when people say a fighter has a "no personality" or "can't sell a fight outside the cage", it means "they don't do enough trash-talking and don't try to start fake beefs on social media". Believe it or not, not all fans get sucked in by the latter. I know there are fans of that out there and that's fine -- sometimes it's entertaining when done well and/or if there's legitimate beef going into a fight. But nine times out of ten I prefer a solid, humble fighter who does their talking inside the cage. Otherwise I'd be watching WWE. Just my two cents.
There’s a few I think Tony could’ve made the list especially considering the Tony Ferguson is the type of guy to meme.
Khabib
Maybe even Rose is an honourable mention
If this was an all-time ranking..
Uncle Chael is undefeated, undisputed, never lost a list.
yessir
Biggest arms in the game Chael P. Sonnen💪
Yeah, Uncle Chael definitely deserves a spot on this list. Funny AF.
Dude never lost a round.
He should be in this list anyway. He could come back in one week notice in whatever division, and win a title.
Khabib after seeing this video: "Send Location"
Lol
Nah he say this is no. 1 bullshit
Then after 2 years of getting the location, he’d finally god
“I’m not a spy” exactly what a spy would say
Not really though. You seem like another war monger that has nothing to lose.
@@Indanao1 Bahaaaaahaaaa!!! Nice..
@@Indanao1 was a joke clearly you little toe
How could you miss Tony Ferguson? He is beloved too for being weird.
Yeah, I'd definitely replace DC with him.
Khabib fans hate him or diss him too often I think
Tony is great to watch, but man I do not like him as a person.
@@Abde47 I am a khabib fan and I don't dislike Tony, Tony is a good fighter.
@@shakey215 Tonys an egomaniac and quite unlikable
Dustin Poirier and Robert Whittaker should be on the list imo
@The Laughing Man yesss
Angela Hill if it’s current
100% replace Masidal with Whittaker.
and DC with Paige Vanzant ;-)
Agreed....
IDK how you can not love Dustin
Interesting how quickly people switched up on jorge masvidal now that he's hanging out with jake paul and refusing to fight
Just thinking this lmao
I mean the reasons you just said are the opposite of why people loved him tbh.
He was real and game-bred
Now he’s fake a puss
@@khalilkaddoura9341 Yeah that was the point. That he was loved until he did those things.
He's a sellout
He's scared of Jake and he's new nickname is game dead
Dustin Poirier , Khabib Nurmagomedov and Robert Whittaker should be on the list
This is definitely #2 bullshit.
Yes
Yea this dude is an idiot. It’s the same lists, same stories, just regurgitated into a different labeled list. Idk why I even watch these anymore.
Khabib for sure
I think Stipe Miocic along with these 3 should be added
Dustin poirier could easily be on the list
Porier is such a badass my friend who barely cares about MMA loves Dustin so much win or lose he gets excited when I say Porier is fighting.
I'd argue Dustin is more "popular" and known than Lewis or Shevchenko, even though I love them both. But yeah Dustin definitely deserves to be up here
Was Khabib on the list? If not that's shocking. Dude is a model martial artist.
@Zachary Hoy Khabib is a massive sensation internationally. Everyone from celebrities to fans want to be around him. He is respectful, trains hard, is undefeated and promotes wellness. He also destroyed McGregor effortlessly.
@@IMakeInternetToughGuysCry Khabib unfortunately had those two years off that hurt his stock. He hasnt been as active either. Great fighter one of the best but a lot of McGregor die hards will trash him and some people may not like his style. I rememeber during Porier vs Khabib my bar was fully behind Dustin.
Was this video made to convince masvidal to fight usman lol
Yes! And I love it
I'm 30 percent sure.
More like convince Dana to cough up that bread 🥖
He won't fight Usman, if he loses he will lose everything good going for him at the moment, everything will be different for him if he loses
Edit: I was wrong he must of got one hell of a payday though cause Usman is just gonna grind him on the ground, would love an upset though like the Askren fight
Lol I thought the same thing when I saw the thumbnail
Funny how half a year can change how someone is percieved. (Talking about you gamebred)
He’s no longer gamebred, just a fake puss
You should have just called this 'my favorite fighters'
Seriously. Masvidal isn’t beloved. He’s shit and promotes lies. And Korean Zombie hasn’t fought in 2yrs

“i may look like a crackhead in a suit but ive never BEEN a crackhead w a suit on” has to be one of the greatest lines delivered ever
He had to admit he looks like a crackhead with a suit on tho.
I doubt Jon's ever done crack
@@warnamir7434 He probably was a crackhead way before earning the money to graduate to cokehead.
Ehh a high level college wrestler with pro athlete brothers... I just dont see it
Ocean Bob lol you stupid
The Diamond should have been there!
Before I read the comments. I bet it's all about "Where's Dustin"?
(edit) thought so.
Yeah, this looks like a *very* subjective and Amerocentric list.
Things I think a decent number of people disagree with:
1. DC being number one. Even though he's a double champ and a decent commentator, he's fallen in the eyes of many fans due to his eyepokes almost making Stipe blind.
2. The fact that the list doesn't even mention Khabib, even though of all the currently signed fighters, he has the most followers on Instagram and has an enormous fanbase outside the US.
3. The fact that there are no mentions of Stipe, Robert Whittaker, Francis Ngannou, Nate Diaz, Darren Till, Yoel Romero or Junior Dos Santos, all of which have a huge following outside the US
Exactly..
Idk about Khabib but if you look deep into it you’ll probably stay away from him
1.Him jumping off the cage to fight someone isn’t the first time he fought another fighter outside the cage
2.His the one who actually provoke Conor by insulting his country
3.He is married to a cousin who some proclaim is distant but they both have the same surnames (before marriage of course)
@@notoftentold4076 Cody???
@@TougeWarrior93 What the half slap on the neck asking another dude if he was shit talking?? Bleach Boi Dillon deserved that for shouting racial comments at Khabib to piss him off to try to throw his fight game even more, Khabib talked, provoked Conor...whatever. If someone insulted America and I was in the UFC, I would wait and rip off their head in the cage. McGregor did a bitch move and attacked a bus full of fighters with a mob and legit almost kill someone all b/c Artem looked like a pussy.. I'm rational, you seem emotionally invested. The cousin thing, I never thought or heard about it. Dagestan is not as small as people think, so it's possible but not probable. Look deep into his AND Gaethje's manager if you wanna hate someone.
@@TougeWarrior93 That dillon danis was talking shit to khabib after he whooped Conor's ass. A guy sitting behind shot and confirmed it in a video. And Conor took two championship opportunities from khabib with his stardom despite Khabib being number one contender for a long time. How many people need 8 fight win streak for a title shot? And marrying cousin is common norm and legal in most Asian and African countries.
I find the fact that you don’t have Tony on this list distasteful
Samy Youcef Addoun he literally never touched her aggressively. She said that
Samy Youcef Addoun get your facts straight you tucking clown. Big difference between having a domestic dispute with your wife during a manic break down and beating your wife
Tony Vlachos?
@@samyyoucefaddoun1606 hmmm, Arab name. I believe I know where's this coming from!
Tony's not always a likeable guy, he can be bitchy and precious.
Thug Rose is a pretty serious omission.
Seems like the trend on the list is that everyone has been on the spotlight for many years. Im sure she will be on the list if they make another one in the next years later.
@@uglyhippos she's been in the UFC for a while at this point. The title of this list should have been "MMA on Point's top 10 most likeable fighters".
Yeah no thug rose but adds in Gaethje and actually thinks DC is well liked instead of just tolerated.
Anthony Hertlein you really think they should put that in the title? It’s obviously mma in points list. Like everything else on this channel
Venom Brockly Wesker dc is a cheating crybaby
Gotta love Wonderboy. He's an amazing fighter and his personality is equally amazing!
Absolutely fantastic video as always.
Diaz bro’s, Dustin, Khabib and Tony should be on here
At least honorable mentions
Some of those r weird, not like ferguson lol but yeah they should be on list
fook khabib
only Dustin,others is bad humanbeings
BigGameHunter bad human beings can be beloved too, but no theyre not bad human beings
Honestly “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung has to be a top 5 mma nickname up there with nicknames like Luis “Violent Bob Ross” Pena and Rick” The Ginger with the Intent to Injure” Pfeifer
Dont forget abou Spike "The Alpha Ginger" Carlyle
@@DerLaufendeTod that one sucks
Never heard of "ginger with the intent to injure"but i love it haha
My all-time fav nick is Andre 'Touchy' Fili.
Also, I think 'Bob Ross', as an MMA nickname is already taken by 'Kos Ross': www.mmafight.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Koscheck-as-Bob-Ross.jpg
Definitely need a part two list cause there’s still so many. Awesome video though !
This was wonderful. My son and I completely agree with your assessment of DC. HE IS WONDERFUL.
Where's Bobby Knuckles at?
Or Romero.
NOTNEVER XX I agree with some fighters. But some are clearly missing like Tony, Romero, Stipe or Whittaker.
@@MrGohanUchiha Stipe is not beloved.
Gustavo Ramiro G. Moraes I would say pretty popular because he has always been a decent guy.
Til this day all I hear is THUG ROSE THUG ROSE THUG ROSE
I can't say I care for ANY woman fighter. It's crass and sad. With women striving to take on a male role these days, no wonder so many women are depressed...
Venom Brockly Wesker, her beating Val is going to be a rough bet.
@@RetroMMA, that might be one of the absolute dumbest comments I have ever read in my entire life. You are so wildly dense, it's appalling 🤦♀️🤣
@Thrasymachus Monk You probably haven't get laid for a while. Just boring to watch and listen.
This video warmed heart lol. Easily the best one yet. Nice work boys.
Great video Tommy
I woulda put Tony, Nate, Chael and Dustin on this list but there is only so many you can fit into a list.
Chael isnt current
@@shahood8116 and beloved :D Not many people like DC also, İ would put Poirier and Whittaker
And neither is Nate
@@onurhayr1937 woah woah woah, did you just say the west linn gangster isnt beloved, you must be off your rocker
You can actually put as many people on a list as you want, it just becomes a long list 😉 But you can only fit 10 people in a top 10...
Valentina's "who's that?" line is one of the most brutal and best delivered lines ever witnessed in MMA. Simple but absolutely deadly.
That was a polite way of saying "Who da fook is that guy?". But when McGregor says it, he makes us laugh. When she says it, she makes us respect her.
I love his answer back, and with that we have our answer.
That smile too 😂
@you know Conor's was more comedic, Valentina's was more horrifying.
Awesome video guys🤙
Daniel Cormier...... he gets booed constantly when he was fighting John Jones
Yeah right up until dipshit popped again, and reminded everyone he was a disgrace to the sport.
"When he was fighting Jon Jones"
@@Z4N3 Huh?
1. The Undisputed, Undefeated, Biggest Arm in West Linn, GOAT Chael Sonnen
in MMA today, the Goat is retired now if this was an all time list then Chael would easily be top 3
Don't he Lost to Jon Jones and anderson Silva.
Where’s Tony tho?
@@samyyoucefaddoun1606 when did he ever beat up his wife?
Tony Vlachos?
Samy Youcef Addoun youre just a khebab fangirl, who cant see hid wifey face lol
Might be because he can act like a weirdo or cuz of the khabib fights
Samy Youcef Addoun you can dislike a fighter, but to say shit like this is pretty fucken low
Wow. I mean tough lost to make, however the Diaz brothers didn’t make the list? Shiiiiit bout to get a Stockton Slap.
Na
Diaz brothers make a excuses every time they lose
The Diaz bros are hated and the old school fans made the new fans like them and it's the fans whom promoted them well the old school hated them they're clowns
Another great vid!
Tommy you're funny as fuck don't do yourself like that!
The fact that Nate Diaz isn’t on here is unforgivable lol
"10 most blackballed and underpromoted fighters"
(Coming from the biggest Diaz fan you might ever know) I think Nate’s few controversies overpower his “usual” loving personality. He’s still a thug deep down, even though he’s become more domestic over the years. You’ll never see DC boot stomping dudes or throwing fingers up on live TV
Nate is pretty controversial whereas the fighters on this list are more universally liked
Honorable mentions: Khabib, Dustin, JDS, Tony
Yoel Romero
That ending is truly a thing of beauty thank you. Crying of laughter from the love and gamesmanship..
This video was class ❤️
Dustin poirier?
Where’s Dustin Poirier?
He is from Louisiana and trains in Florida
Right? I’d at least have him at like 7-8
I was expecting him to be here for sure
Yeah he’s definitely earned a spot on this list imo
He definitely deserves to be on the list
Lol who knew early Robbie Lawler could stunt double for Josh Koscheck! 🤣🤣🤣
i literally thought it was koscheck at first... talk about whiplash
Loving this list!
Editor of this video failed on the wonder boy part when talking about the comedic timing they should have shown him moving Conor's monster can that was when I became a fan of his right there he was a good fighter but when he took that can man that was absolutely gold
i’d say tony, frankie edgar, rose, and till are some pretty glaring omissions, but at the same time i don’t know who you’d take off lol
You forgot gaethje! He's great
@@joliearanda6481 hes in the vid
Not edgar and till
Rose should definitely have been on the list, she’s awesome! Idk how you can disagree
Kindly remove Jorge Masvidal from the thumbnail. He is no longer eligible to be on this list. Anyone who associates with Jake Paul can never be lovable.
Great one, guys
I’m convinced this channel will do whatever it takes to get DC on a list solely to clip in the DC roasting the hell out of Bader altercation.
but its a perfect representation as to why bellator isnt in the same league as the ufc
I don't really like DC for those eyepokes on Stipe
Glad to see The Korean ‘Chan Sung Jung’ Zombie make the list
great video
What a feel-good video!
d.c lost quite a lot of love for himself when he poked stipe in the eyes
He still kicked his ass
@@user-ob5xh3bw5n he caught him with one good hit. Stipe kicked his ass. Big difference in their performances
@@evanproctor4824 A win is a win. Thats the funny thing with fighting. All it needs is one good hit. It might even be lucky and hit unintentionally.
Yawn
@@user-ob5xh3bw5n except he didn't, he got knocked out
Where tf is Dustin poirer? He is a fan favorite. He whoops ass and helps those in need. He should’ve been at least given an honorable mention.
I never saw Chael compliment Jorge. His face was genuinely thankful for the praise 😂
DC? This has to be a joke, every time i see a post related to him all i see are eye poke comments
Undefeated undisputed Uncle chael sonen
Holy crap ima call him triple U
💯😁
No Diaz, Poirier, Rose, Amanda?? This could be a top 20 video
Amanda? no one likes that man woman haha
Not amanda. Her voice is too annoying. She is the goat tho
I love Diaz I really thought he'd be on this list!!!
Diaz is a clown x2
@@janelzinga1964 fans of mma love her. Clown.
This is one of the funnier lists you've guys put out. "Check out these fighters that we all like!" Yeah, for sure man, that's why we watch them haha. fr though, it's not easy putting out consistent work as a writer and you guys pull in the views.
Sick video
I know this sounds cliche, but on point MMA has made me love MMA.
Mark Hunt? It seems like most fighter's and fight fan's love Mark Hunt.
Yes except this is a current fighters list
I hate Mark Hunt for suing the UFC
@Tyson Jones the same cry baby that would crack you're skull and make you cry
@Thun Dara yes markhunt the goat
@@verscarii3238 he's making 700k every fight , he's one of the highest paid fighters on the roster , before the brock lenar fight he was stating that he will beat him even if brock is on steroid and after losing and found out he was on peds , he started crying like a baby and being so fucking annoying
What a list! Every single one of them is pure amazing
I personally love the weird Tony Ferguson compilations on CZcams, his highlights are great, and his interactions with the press are hilarious.
I'm not a fan of the number 1, I've been annoyed with dc with the Stipe fight talks and how his eyepoked screwed up stipes eyes
Yeah I agree, he is beloved but he is hated on like crazy still
Yeah i dont even think dc deserves this list, like who cheer for dc after those 2 fights ? just eyepokes and more eyepokes, and he also skip dc cheating to cut weight ?
Faisal Khan but chael’s never lost a fight or even a round.
7:40 don’t remind me, I’m still in denial
Cormier at no. 1???
The guy who was mocked as a paper champ endlessly?? The guy who would get booed to oblivion during his Jon Jones press conferences?? The guy switched divisions to duck Cain??
Usually this channel is spot on, but they are bugging with DC at no. 1 here...
Bro he was super close friends with Cain, that's why he didn't want to fight him. Also, things have changed a lot for DC since the first jones fight
yeahhh definitely didn't "duck" cain lol more like spared his boy an epic beating DC is cain 2.0 and much much better at heavyweight lol. don't get me wrong he definitely not a fan favorite just saying.
Glad zombie is on here. Always loved that dude.
Dc at #1 is really out of place.
Still think so ?
Diaz brothers should of been more then a mention
@That Guy you're just straight up wrong bro.
@@jasonstevens9401 Maybe you are brooooooo
A lot people kind of hate them
You missed yoel Romero. .and the famous promo" i luh you mike i luh you mike you say something like this for me i luh you... I see you soon boy 😎💙💙💪.. yoel all the way
crazy how jorge went from one of the most loved to now in a yea
I feel like Rose namajunas could have been number 1 on this list
I really wish she got an honorable mention or something.
Same I'm really surprised she not on this list at all. Everyone on the UFC roster loves Rose.
And #1 Rose Namajunas
Remember when she was 26 and celebrated her 10th anniversary with Pat Barry? Chris Hansen remembers, but everyone played along and pretended to not do the math.
THUG ROSE
Thanks for all the work you put into those videos MMA On Point, much respect and gratefulness for you bringing us high-quality, entertaining and informative videos consistently.
This thumbnail aged poorly
This list is not complete without Poitier and Khabib. In fact, DC and Khabib should be on top of the list with everyone else trailing behind.
Khabib is also hated by many as well (mostly Coner fans) so he isn't universally loved like the others on the list. Just like Conor has an insane amount of fans(more than any other fighter) he also has a lot of detractors so he shouldn't be any where near the list.
Matt J but no one can like Conor the way they like Khabib. They like Conor because of the his trash talk and very out there personality.
@William Robert I mean there are reasons why Khabib is not liked, his fighting style is not the most exciting (it's actually extremely boring) and he hasn't got a very showmanship personality (atleast at first, after watching him for a while he's quite funny).
Conor has more fans than most fighters combined so he isn't hated universally. Either way both of them shouldn't be on the list.
@William Robert Mate calm down, I like Khabib but he is not an entertaining fighter. Just Like Usman, he's an aboslute beast but he isn't entertaining. Although Khabib has a lot more personality than Usman.
I didn't say all the fighters combined i said most fighters, you've just proved my point you'd have to get two legends of the game plus a standard fighter to even get close to his fan count. PLus, Ronda? really? She's not liked at all by most fans.
@Blaze Burst oh no you called me a casual, what will I ever do 😂. I'm not American, I'm British who lives in Thailand and does Muay Thai not that my geographical location has anything to do with it.
If you can read, which you have proven that you cannot to any adult degree, you'll see that I myself like Khabib and will always watch him fight. That doesn't mean that he is universally loved.
And like it or not mate "casuals" make the vast majority of the audience for UFC and the casuals like to see strikers.
3:30 am here in Australia but I’m having a shit time with mental health so I held out and so happy for a new video
Hope you’re good bro! Stay safe & stay sane 👌
Hope you are doing well mate!
Take some mushrooms bro, it will change your life
@@321GoingIN yeah need to micro dose mushrooms for mental health problems. . Don't be a moron and just say *you need to take mushrooms bro* just taking a load of mushrooms can be bad if a person is not in the right place when taking them. Just taking a load of mushrooms could actually do more damage than good.
You should say. Mushrooms can help, maybe research them and give them a try.
I agree mushrooms can help but there's a way to go about it
@@thefightisalwaysfixed8890 word, even then we talking about PTSD level issues.
Yea picking DC as number one I feel is very misplaced
Do we still feel the same way now for Masvidal?
After the fight with Usman 2 he was beloved again.
I mean he took the loss very well.
So yeah I feel the same for him
Jorge off the list now
“DC has NEARLY done it all”.... We all know what he’s referring to here
Lol missed that
I love how the quality and style of your videos rapidly increased over the past few months. Love the new style!!
This aged so bad everyone hates jorge now lmao
What video is that from of Max and John Mayer talking? Huge fan of both guys!
Where's Nate Diaz????? I think the reaction to him as he walked out for the Pettis fight shows I'm right!!!
Dustin should be here, I was expecting him to be number one
💯% on point!
I’ve been able to meet Gaethje twice. First when WSOF came to my city, his fight got canceled but he was just walking around the arena... and was great with friends. Then came to my city once he was signed by the ufc. I’ve also gotten to meet DC, super nice guy and we talked for several minutes
Was totally expecting Nate Diaz at #1 so when I saw DC I was shook haha
Till, Poirier, Whitaker, Diaz
Wholesome content
1:43 I thought lawler was josh koschek 😂😂
Same here... Can't recall ever seeing him with hair like that
I love Justin, but khabib, Dustin, and Tony are all more beloved.
Nate
i dont like tony
Only casuals like khabibs fake holier than thou persona, but dustin and tony i can agree
Fuck no Justin is the most fan friendly fighter in the UFC. He knows what we wanna see and brings it every single fuckin time, win or lose.
Khebab Nurmainbred you just seem like a hater bro. You have no reason to call Khabib fake, the same as you would have no reason to call Dustin fake.
This list already might be one of the most subjective ones you guys have made, but damn what a waste of a number one spot. DC's a cool dude but there are so many fighters that could have had that spot that didn't even make the list. And I would argue most fans lost a lot of respect for him after both stipe fights. You guys must really be trying to stay in the good graces of the UFC lol.
never liked dc, something about him just seems so phony
Towel gate then that blatant eye poke when he flicked his finger out certainly doesn't deserve number 1
Also the way he interferes and comments on fighters trying to get more money / organize is really shitty too. Like Dana and the UFC FUCK their fighters cash wise. It's ridiculous how poorly they are paid. But DC is always willing to go to bat for Dana and talk shit about people who call out the bs.
That "his soul" line from Robbie Lawler is one of the most underrated one liners in MMA history. Absolutely cold blooded.
DC? I always liked him but i remember at the time in 2016-2017 he was getting a much heat.
