|  Favorite non top 10 fighters?
I think everyone of us has a fighter or 2 that we will tune into any organization to watch regardless how good they are. I realized this the day after Dream 6. A number of my favorite mma sites had the fights up already. What was the first fight i wanted to watch?
Gegard - manHOOOF? Nope.
Mirko - alistair? Maybe later
Nope, very first one i was eager to watch i almost couldn't wait for it to load, was Minowa - Funaki.
I LOVE watching minowa fight. No idea why, just so wildly entertaining to me. I also noticed that today, i wanted to watch Nakamura's fight more than any other one.
Nakamura, Minowa, fujita, Frank shamrock(some people don't list him has a top MW), Houston alexander. There all fighters i will always tune into watch. I'm sure there are more i'm forgetting.
If yamma had another card and they happened to lock up minowa, bam, i think I would just might pay to see that, no joke, thats how much i like to watch him.

I did just sit through the brutal Vengence FC show to watch Monson, not sure if he still cracks anybody's top ten. I've always liked watching his fights, broke my heart when he struggled against timmy.
I went out of my way to tune in to the Cage Rage when Ken Shamrock fought last for the soul purpose of watching Shammy. I don't know why, I know he's old and slow now but I can't help but cheer for the guy. I wasn't the least bit interested in Kimbo's next fight until Ken was announced, now I'll definitely watch (that and Arlovski didn't hurt either).

David Loiseau. I always had a dream of him and St. Pierre dominating their weight classes. Well at least half my dream came true  | |

Mousasi, as most of you already know. I think he's barely at top 10 MW maybe 11 at the moment. His wins over Jacare and Manhoef were great, but nothing spectacular, and that's coming from one of his biggest fans. Jacare had no striking game and doesn't have a resume of fighting high caliber fighters, and Manhoef has no knowledge on the ground. As i said before, i think a guy like Marquardt would give Mousasi tons of trouble. 2-3 years and this guy will be a top notch fighter.
