UFC Stars Ranked In Tier System Based On Their Personality

Ranking UFC stars on their actual ability is all well and good, SPORTbible's own Adnan Riaz gave it a go, but what about the thing that really matters, their personality.

When it comes to the fight game, be it MMA or boxing, how well you can sell yourself, and the fight you're in or want to be in, is almost as important as your ability when it comes to the fight.

Often if you can't get yourself into a position where people want to see you hurt someone or get hurt then you won't get the big pay days on pay-per-view. So who in UFC is the top and who is at the bottom for their personality?

One Reddit user gave it a go, and there's no surprise to see Conor McGregor at the top of the pile:

Usually with these tiers the categories go from 'G.O.A.T' to 'Trash' or something like that. But unfortunately this time it's just ranked S-F, no idea what the S is for.

S: Conor McGregor

A: Nate Diaz, Jorge Masvidal, Khabib Nurmagomedov

B: Jon Jones, Israel Adesanya, Ben Askren, Daniel Cormier

C: Jeremy Stephens, Anderson Silva, Max Holloway, Michael Bisping, Chael Sonnen, Ariel Helwani

D: Anthony Pettis, Derrick Lewis, Paige VanZant, Henry Cejudo, Tony Ferguson

E: Amanda Nunes, Urijah Faber, Darren Till, Colby Covington

F: Cody Garbrandt, Kevin Lee, Joanna Jędrzejczyk

The problem with 'The Notorious' being top of the list is that we've not been able to enjoy him in the octagon for over a year, and without a fight to sell he's not been as visible in the sport out of the cage either.

The Irishman had claimed he would return to action on January 18th, with Donald Cerrone expected to be his opponent, but UFC's list of 2020 events doesn't include a show on that date.

Instead there's a Fight Night a week later and UFC 246 on February 9th, which is likely to be headlined by Jon Jones' latest title defence.

UFC's other top personalities include Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz, the pair met earlier this month for the BMF title, with Masvidal coming out on top, and we'd happily see them face off again, especially if they let their personalities fly the way they did their strikes.
