Guys I'd like to see live would be:

Shogun Rua
Chuck Liddell
Wanderlei Silva
Tank Abbott
Junior Dos Santos
Jose Aldo
Robbie Lawler
Jens Pulver
Mayhem Miller
Rampage Jackson

Ideally I'd like to see K-1 event with MMA gloves and clinching allowed. Basically LOTS of striking

Mayhem Miller was THIS -> <- close to make my list but I figure he needs to get a real opponent like Diaz for me to really cut of a finger for a ticket

for me... the fighter i wanna see fight in person the most is fedor...
my favourite fighter to watch is gegard mousasi...
im kinda suprised he wasnt on your list dent...
european solidarity and all that stuff...
although i must admit overeem is quickly moving up my favs...
its just crazy to watch him destroy people...
like the aussie dude at k-1 oceania in australia this year...
every time the reem landed anything the aussie dude just dropped...
gonzaga has also been a long time fav but hasnt been doing too well lately...
he needs to forget about his head kick ko of crocop and go back to what he is good at...
overpowering and owning people on the ground... i hope to see him get on strikeforce...
they have a great stable of heavyweights right now and he could have some great fights...
last of all would have to be jose aldo... he seems so strong and unbeatable right now...
plus he just seems to crank out the highlight reel finishes... id like to see one in person!

all in all i think thats a pretty good list youve put together dent...
but to condense what i said above...
i would kill to see these guys fight live...

fedor / mousasi / overeem / gonzaga / aldo

i would also put gsp, brock lesnar, jon jones, and cain velasquez on this list...
but i got to see those guys fight at ufc100 and ufc110...
when i look back on all the people fighting at ufc100...
that list of names wont be topped for a while i think....

good topic dent...

being from sac imma have 2 start with Team Alpha Male! Faber, Benavidez, and Mendez are the stars from that camp.. but they are all doing well.. I have a friend that trains with them and they are hard working and most important.. entertaining! moving on.. i would love to see Overeem vs. Fedor! now I know we are taling about fighters we wanna see live.. but lets be honest.. most of us would watch a couple of hillbillies fighting in a back yard! meaning.. i dont care who is fighting.. as long as the fight is good! so.. dream match ups is what imma list.. GSP vs. Silva.. ehhh might be good.. honestly.. Silva wouldnt have an answer to GSPs double leg.. hmmmmmm the fight im excited to see.. is Dos Santos vs Cain!! Kos vs. GSP will be good.. i picked GSP on my competition.. but.. imma say this right now.. Kos is gonna pull out the upset! ok ive talked enough shit 4 2day! i have a phat blunt waitng 4 me! cuz.. in cali.. thats just how we roll!!

No MMA superstar list can be complete without Giant Silva! =)

For some reason that one is cut short, but full video is here:

heh.

But seriously, for me, it's usually the matchups, not any particular fighter that get me amp'd. You could have the most exciting fighters in the world, but if it's an unexciting matchup, what's the point? I tend not to remember fights that are poorly matched or poorly performed. I also dislike over-matched fights, which Strikefarce has a tendency to do to get exciting outcomes. For instance, anyone vs Cyborg (the Cyborg fight @ Fedor vs Werdum was particularly hard to watch, live. People at the arena were booing and gasping. They should have stopped it long before the first round ended).

I saw some good fighters all ready. BJ Penn, Couture, GSP, Hardy, Nick Diaz twice, Mir, Carwin, Florian, Marcus Davis.

Some others I want to see are Cerrone, Overeem, Junior Dos Santos, Rampage Jackson, Clay Guida, Miguel Torres.
