The Most Fun UFC Fighters to Watch Right Now
Fighters differ in various ways.
From natural size to evolved talent, aggressiveness to calculated precision, no two fighters are the same.
That's what makes mixed martial arts such an enticing sport—one that envelops such a wide range of knockout artists, submission experts and bona fide assassins.
But when it comes down to strictly entertaining the masses, some fighters are just more pleasing to watch than others.
Chalk it up to their personalities, in-cage persona or late-round explosions, they offer endless and intriguing viewership.
Here are those aforementioned aggressors who have become the most fun fighters to see in the game today.
Matt Brown
1 of 10
Right off the bat we start with arguably the most aggressive fighter in UFC history.
As a brawler who aims to land leather in the first few seconds of a fight, Matt Brown has quickly become a cult classic in the eyes of blood-hungry fans.
Capable of pressing and pushing opponents to the brink of defeat, The Immortal offers unflappable persistence and drive inside of the cage.
When he gets going, there's only a few welterweights in the world who possess the resolve and the chiseled chin to ward off such an Octagon banshee.
Matt Mitrione
2 of 10
Equipped with bricks for hands, heavyweight demolition man Matt Mitrione has been on an unbelievable tear as of late, finishing his last three bouts via first-round knockout.
That sort of success within the most physically dominant division in the sport offers insight into how entertaining and downright vicious Meathead can be.
And with the athletic movement capable of outpointing almost any heavyweight around, it's only a matter of time before Mitrione finds himself in a very important fight.
The fact that he likes to talk trash and end fights as quickly as possible is just icing on the cake.
Donald Cerrone
3 of 10
Donald Cerrone is the epitome of a fighter.
Hellbent on competing as much as he possibly can, The Cowboy would be vigorously finishing lightweights on every fight card if he had it his way.
That sort of work ethic and professional conviction separates Cerrone from a lot of other softies in the sport today.
But it's his timing, calculation, pre-fight confidence and in-cage tenacity that supersede the rest of his undying appeal.

Robbie Lawler
4 of 10
The essence of Robbie Lawler was seen in the final moments of his championship rematch with Johny Hendricks at UFC 181.
In an effort to collect the biggest prize in MMA, which he did, Lawler went on an absolute rampage toward the end of the final frame.
The aggression, violence and impending doom that Ruthless packed in every single one of his attacks for those few seconds showcased the guts and glory that resides at his very core.
He deserves to be champion and could very well remain so should a contender be unwilling to dethrone him.
Anthony Pettis
5 of 10
Anthony Pettis is the most spectacular athlete in the sport today.
Known as "Showtime" for his ability to display highlight-reel finishes, the UFC lightweight kingpin is only in the beginning stages of his professional greatness.
For as precise and flashy as he is on his feet, alongside his perfected ground game, Pettis is becoming an unstoppable force.
His maturation has just begun, and his bandwagon has consequently taken on some extra weight.
Ronda Rousey
6 of 10
Ronda Rousey can certainly dish it out.
Her innate ability to destroy any opponent who stands in her way is borderline devilish.
From bone-crunching armbars to gut-wrenching body shots, the first-ever UFC women's champion knows how to inflict pain and look good while doing so.
So whether you watch her to lose or extend her perfected win streak, the fact remains that Rousey is as polarizing and important to the sport today as any other champion around.
Mark Hunt
7 of 10
Mark Hunt is a fight fan's Superman.
He's big, strong, aggressive and is rarely thrown off his rocker.
That's not to mention he's a really nice guy who would punch through a bank vault if he had to.
Mix in some bloody elbows and windmill power punches and you have one of the most entertaining, on-the-edge-of-your-seat strikers in MMA right now.
Dominick Cruz
8 of 10
There's something about Dominick Cruz these days.
Sure he's only competed once in the past three years, but the former UFC bantamweight titleholder has made the best out of it.
He's never been the most dangerous finisher around, but it's his overwhelming need to make up for lost time that has catapulted him to the forefront of a growing division.
If he can stay healthy and maintain his magical footwork, Cruz will become more popular and beloved than he ever dreamed of.
Travis Browne
9 of 10
With the ability to float like a butterfly and sting like an anvil piercing through paper, heavyweight title contender Travis Browne is already part of the sport's upper echelon of superstars.
As one of the best strikers in the division who possesses unparalleled footwork, Hapa is one dangerous dude.
But what makes him even more prolific inside the Octagon is his track record of tailor-made knockouts.
He's a sensational athlete who will only evolve and flourish under the tutelage of Edmond Tarverdyan, who has further tapped into Browne's natural capabilities.
Conor McGregor
10 of 10
Conor McGregor is the leader of the sport's new wave of talented contenders.
His brash attitude and confident demeanor accompany him to the Octagon every time he fights, allowing him to gain an advantage over his opponent not only skillfully but mentally.
Destined to fight for the UFC featherweight title, the Irish phenom will one day be able to perform on the sport's grandest stage.
And considering his movement and dexterity resemble something unseen in the fight game today, McGregor has a chance to become the most talked-about fighter worldwide.
