I know people enjoy the new fighter ranking option of "favorite fighter", and i think it would be great if there would be a list of "least favorite fighters". i know this may not be a great thing from the website's perspective, but it would be something fun for people to be able to rank fighters they are not excited for. I need to put Matt Hughes up for something.

I like that idea, but I'm unsure if this site has a no fighter bashing rule like Sherdog does, and I'd hate if any fighter thought of doing an interview here but then saw his name or a camp mate on the list and declined.

Exactly, I liked the idea at first, but it would be a predictable poll though anyway

Yeah, it would lead to a lot of fighter bashing. I don't think that making a list of your least fav fighters is fighter bashing, but it would start the conversation that would lead to massive fighter put downs. If I were asked, I would vote no.

That won't happen. There is a strict "No Fighter Bashing" rule on here. People tend to NOT give intelligent reasons why they don't like someone. All they;ll say is "So and so sucks."

I like the idea, but at the same time, as long as you dont verbally bash the fighter, just put him in the list of those, it shouldnt go against the "No Bashing" rule.

I'd like the lsit, but like everyone said people would bash the fighters and use the ranking as an excuse. I like the idea, but it would get taken advantage of.

How about instead of ranking your least favorite fighters, instead rank your least favorite fights. ( Sanchez Vs. Koscheck)

That would be the only rankings Tim Sylvia would ever make #1 on.
