[John McHenry]

I don't like fighters. I like asskickers.

I've only seen a few fights from when I used to managed a Buffalo Wild Wings. To give you a time of reference around the time Brock got started in UFC. I liked Griffith, Rashad, Forest, but I never watched any of it on any kind of normal basis.

[Dale]

For me, I don't really have any favourites like I do in Wrestling.

I'll always have an affinity towards Brock given he was the reason why I got into MMA in the first place and Bisping for flying the flag for England. Not the most talented guys but I do enjoy watching Roy & Pat Barry if given the chance. Chael for obvious reasons too.
