I'm not that much into martial arts, but I did like watching fights with Mirko Filipovic (CroCop), a kickboxer. He had his ups and downs, but he's coming back now. Hopefully, he'll be as good as he used to be.

I always like to see Clay Guida fight.  He's a very energetic combatant.
Also a fan of the Rua brothers; Shogun and Ninja.

I'm out of touch with K1, but back when it was on a channel I could pick up, Remy Bonjasky was my favorire fighter to watch

Boxing heavyweight division is stale and holds little interest at the moment.  David Haye is the only one trying to liven things up a bit.

Got to give a shout out to Carl Froch who hails from my home city.

I never liked Kimbo Slice back when he was a "Youtube sensation".  Came across as a a jerk with wannabe gangsta tag-alongs, but after watching the last season of Ultimate fighter, my opinion has changed.  More humble than I thought he would be.  Does tend to over do it with the "know what i'm saying" line in all his interviews.  I don't think his fighting career will last long due to his knee.

i like frochs interviews he is hilarious but usually backs up his words in the ring,i doubt he would have had anything more than a punchers chance against calzaghe he is too slow for him
