Which fighter inspired you to train, or just got you hooked up / kept you interested in MMA ?
I'm training BJJ, but Machida is definitely my #1 influence. I love how he made shotokan karate, not the most easy style to translate, work in MMA. It was such a huge inspiration for me and it got me more interested in all forms of martial arts in general
The old version of motivated Conor, all his documentaries from the time where he was training and collecting welfare while his girl was driving him the whole time. This Conor, the way he spoke, the way he approached fighting, was fascinating.
Anderson, of course, for his body language during fights, his antics, his technical mastery
Honorable mentions : Wonderboy, Romero, Edgar, Condit
