No, but there are alot of likable fighters now. ( Rampage, Liddell, Forrest, Silva, ) usually they are the guys that rep the sport very well and really put on a show for the fan and make it entertaining. The thing i like about Forrest is that he has a never say die way about him. He always fights hard win or lose, and he seems like the guy next door you sit around and watch fights with. so i give forrest

Forrest seems like a great guy when you watch him on TV.. I totally agree, until I met him..
Last year there was this event at a sports club here where you paid $20 and got these VIP tickets to meet Forrest and get your picture taken with him.. a buddy and I decided to go, thinking Forrest is one of the coolest and most fan-oriented fighters out there..
Boy were we wrong, he had a bad attitude and seemed like he just wanted to get out of there.. and really, I couldn't blame him the mans got a busy life but still your fans are your fans and you are committed to them. Not only did he have a bad attitude, but he looked waaay out of shape (no offense to his fans), and he was supposed to play a video game with this girl that won a contest but he didnt do that either..
Overall I just got a really different impression after meeting Forrest face to face, he's still a cool guy and all but let me say this you cant assume people are cool just because of how you see them on TV when millions of people are watching, its when you meet them elsewhere off the big spotlight when you get to see them for who they really are.
Forrest is still a great fighter and I understand he's got a lot of fans, im just stating my 2 cents here of my experience with him!

I would imagine alot of fighters out in public being asked and bothered every five seconds by someone new would be a little weird. I am sure if it was like a one on one type of thing where not everybody and there mom was trying to see him, i bet he would be ok then.
I do think that Kimbo has alot of appeal, i watched the XC on cbs for that fight, to see if the hype about im was real, when you can draw people like that you have some appeal.

Saku is the most likeable fighter hands down.

Seeing the respect from Penn and Joe Daddy when they fought has to put them at the top of this list. Also Anderson Silva, Probably three of the top fighters in the UFC in terms of respect for the sport.
