Fighters With Most Heart

[Rodja]

Fighting by nature takes a certain degree of heart, but there are some with more than others. The top guys that I think of when it comes to heart are:
Don Frye
Big Nog
Saku
Wand
Hendo

Others to add...

 

[Alexander]

Fedor will fight you to the death on his side -Minotauro

 

[Nemesis RR]

Royce doesn't care if you are tearing his shoulder or banging on his face. HE NEVER TAPPED.

 

[shaddow]

I know this probably isn't quite where you were headed, but it takes a lot of heart to come back from addiction and be competitive.

From the Depths of Hell to the UFC | MMA Opinion

I like your list though, Rodja.

Forrest, Randy.

Forrest, Randy.

Forrest is one of those guys who is too dumb to give up. Never a dull fight with him.

Hate to say what about Tim Silva.

 

[jas123]

Gonzaga

:lol: No doubt. I had high hopes for him, but against Werdum he embarrassed me.

Khalib Starnes :run:

And against Randy. If he gets in trouble, he doesn't seem to come back from it.

[Alexander]

Kharitonov, the guy is a straight psycho and would never give up
Takayama, doesn't care if his face gets deformed
And from K-1, Andy Hug has to be mentioned

 

[Alexander]

Antonym: Belfort, if sh*t isn't going his way........

 

[robdog]

Antonym: Frank Mir

God bless you. Mir is a joke.

I don't know if Sergei has heart or if he enjoys pain.

 

[Rodja]

I don't know if Sergei has heart or if he enjoys pain.

Whatever the case, he lacks a brain. WTF was he thinking in the Aleks fight??:fool2:

 

[biggerthantex]

Forrest Griffin
Wandy (especially after that last chuck liddell beating)

 

[robdog]

Forrest Griffin
Wandy (especially after that last chuck liddell beating)

Beating? The Chuck fight was a war, not a beating.

 

[Alexander]

I don't know if Sergei has heart or if he enjoys pain.

More of the latter, he's a genuine psycho, it is not an act.

 

[Rodja]

Forrest Griffin
Wandy (especially after that last chuck liddell beating)

His fight with Hunt was a war. The only beatings on Wand were against CC and Vitor.

 

[biggerthantex]

Beating? The Chuck fight was a war, not a beating.

i agree to a point... it was a battle but chuck got the best of him... it was a fight for the record books though... toe to toe the whole fight... i guess i worded it wrong..... my bad.. but at the end of the fight chuck didnt look bad, but wandys face was tore up

Ehh, he has so much scar tissue around his brow at this point in his career that a cut is going to happen in almost every fight, kinda like Diaz and Forrest.

 

[Alexander]

Wand/Liddell was a war, but also somewhat of a beating.

 

[jas123]

His fight with Hunt was a war. The only beatings on Wand were against CC and Vitor.

I'd probably replace Vitor with Henderson. Vitor just caught him and it was over quick. To me, a beating is longer. Henderson was pounding Wandy most of the 2nd fight.

 

[jas123]

More of the latter, he's a genuine psycho, it is not an act.

Could he out-psycho Branko?

REmember his staredown with Choi Mu Bae (I think it was him)? He definitely seemed a little psycho in that one.

Damn, I doubt it. I don't think Dahmer has anything on Branko.

Sergei's staredowns are usually pretty good, if I remember correctly Choi was trying to avoid the staredown and Sergei was psychotically following his face around

 

[jas123]

Choi was playing along to but Sergei gives this laugh at the end that's rather twisted.

 

[1Love808]

Wand
Big Nog
Leben
Saku

 

[robdog]

Mayhem!

 

[joeymutz]

#1 I think is forrest griffin. The man basically needs a beating to get going and I love that about him. I really hope he beats rampage he deserves the title more then anyone.

 

[maurice02]

If he was real, Rocky Balboa LOL LOL

 

[sp447]

Big Nog has the most heat of any fighter out there. The fight with Cro Cop was a prime example. Got his ass kicked for the entire first round then pulled an armbar out of nowhere.

Truly one of the most inspirational fights I've ever seen.

 

[SrT4u2Nv]

wandy
henderson
le banner

but believe it or not people like sherk, that train insane bc they lack some skill and reach/height
and Franklin for getting back in the ring against A. Silva.

 

[CryingEmo]

Big Nog is a real life Rocky.


Wandy never gives up.


Clay Guida has alot of heart too...

Not sure it's fair to put Guida in there. I think he's missing a chip in his brain that allows him to be oblivious to pain and fatigue. The other guys have to fight through it.

 

[CryingEmo]

Guida is like the coolest person in the world.

At least I don't have a gay picture of Fedor as my avatar picture.



Wait a second....

 

[Dancebot 2000]

Neer.

 

[Alexander]

Neer.

toughness via retardation.

 

[Mulletsoldier]

Arturo Gotti. I know this is MMA, but he is a seriously tough cat.

 

[TheNinja]

There are a ton of good ones here, but if I had to have one guy's heart I would pick Big Nog.

 

[Cordeen]

From what I seen at UFC 85, I give my vote to Thales Leites

 

[Bile]

Sakuraba definately has the most heart imo. After all those ass whoopins from Wandy. That guy always is injured in some way when he fights. It insane but awesome. Also not to mention he worked the Gracies he faced (dont count the roided out Royce) and tapped out Rampage. Also the Ken Shamrock fight I laughed my ass off, but it was stopped early but funny as shiit. Anyway WAAAARRRR SAKU!!!!!

I heard Saku vs Rampage was fixed... not sure where but can anyone clarify?

 

[robdog]

They offered Rampage extra money to throw the fight, but he didnt take it.
