Which Pro Fighter Do You Try To Emulate?

What about their style, personality or demeanor do you like? And why?

Myself, I like David Loiseau, Georges St. Pierre, and Andy Hug. All three have incredible explosive stand up, and embrace traditional martial arts while excelling professionally. Plus, Loiseau and GSP are Canucks ;)

Out of the three, I'd have to pick Andy Hug as my top fighter. I can't say I've ever seen a fighter utilize an axe kick or spinning hook kick so effectively.

Im a boxer but I watch a mixture of tapes and study: George Foreman in his prime, Jones jr. for his counter punching ability, and of course everyone will say Tyson in his prime. Who's style am I considered to be closest to, a heavier Vinny Paz or Camacho Sr.

Bas Rutten is pretty well rounded and has good stand up, good submissions.
GSP is well rounded and his ground game is improving. I like the fact that he uses spinning kicks as well.
Cro Cop - although a leftie I like his sprawl and brawl and head kicks.
 
Wow, I thought I had it tough. I was going to say Jimmy Ellis - cover-up like the sonofabitch and hope I spot an opening otherwise I end up looking like a

actually stayed in the same apartment as Andi Hug in 1995 for the full year in Osaka Japan. Absolute class act all the way. Shame he had to leave us so soon.

:eek2: Holy hell man, that's amazing!! Did you train with him also??? That would be an incredible experience. If there was a Kyokushin dojo within 50 miles of me, I'd drop everything and train there.

He did leave us way too damn early. R.I.P.

to be honest, the live in students had some "fun" jobs at the dojos like carrying the pro fighters bags, cleaning the dojo, helping the pro's stretch, bag work, and sparring..Learnt ALOT in that year and dropped most fools in the dojo when I returned to Oz.

Andi did teach me some cool combos though. The nicest guy out of the pro's was easily Michael Thompson. Great times, but I just wish I was a little older when I was there (I was only 18 then) and probably not hard enough mentally to take it all in.

What about Diamond Dekker? I still find his highlight clip to be the best - like a little Dutch Tyson w/ a Muay Thai Mother!

Ah yes, how could I forget "The Turbine From Hell". After following his fights, I decided Muay Thai was the shit for me!! First non-asian fighter EVER to get the title "Fighter of the Year" in Thailand. His style reminds me a bit of K-1 champ Buakaw Por Pramuk---vicious and unrelenting.

Just because my new addiction is highlight clips. Diamond Dekker!

I try to emulate Tyson but I wind up more Cabbage myself
it's the headmovement

I like a lot of fighters
one's I try to emulate? I'd say Tyson, Rocky Marciano, anyone I see with good hitting power and bad reach
I'd really LOVE to be the slicksouthpaw outside counter punching my way to a decision victory, but I have short arms = bad reach and a lot going for my phsycially (on the inside)
Ricky Hatton is probubly a good person for me to watch as well

as for the ground? Matt Hughes, Randy Coture Tito Ortiz
anyone who hits isntead of trying to tap heh
I'd like to get some submission skills like Monson because he's short but really thick so he's probubly the sub hunter I should most keep my eye on
