Who Is UFC’s Most Popular Fighter At The Moment?

Written By Josh

It felt like forever since UFC has had that fighter which everybody know the name of like George St Pierre, Brock Lesnar, Conor McGregor and even Ronda Rousey. These fighters always boosted the popularity of UFC events and the event had a lot more views with these fighters on the card but nowadays, these fighters barely have fights so that begs the question, who is UFC’s most popular fighter (with the exception of Conor McGregor but does he really count?) so without going any further, I’m Josh from AllThingsCombat.com and this is who is UFC’s most popular fighter.

Khabib Nurmagedov

The current lightweight champion is one of the most popular fighters in the UFC today with a 26-0 and if you see his fights, it’s clear to see why. The man is a machine and there’s a reason why people call him “Khabib Killer”. Only me? He won the lightweight belt at UFC 223 against Al Ianquinta in a fight which was more switched around than a game of UNO, now admittedly I’ve never played a game of UNO nor know the rules of the game but I know there’s a switch card which switches something? I don’t know.

Khabib is undoubtedly one of the best fighters in the UFC today with an amazing wrestling ability and can outwrestle anybody in the lightweight division and has a fantastic ground and pound. He is popular with the crowd as he’s got a great personality along with a great story which the crowd could invest in as he’s built himself up and powered through the rankings.

Demetrious Johnson

Nobody has held the flyweight championship as long as Demetrious Johnson has. Let me rephrase that: Nobody has held the flyweight champion except from Demetrious Johnson, in fact, nobody has even came close to winning the belt. The man is ripping the flyweight division. Johnson is really popular with the UFC fans for his unique submission manoeuvres.

Every time Johnson fights on a PPV, it helps boost ticket sales because he is one of the best fighters in the UFC at the moment. His last victory came to Ray Borg where he won in round 5 with a creative arm bar where he threw Borg up and landing him in an arm bar, there’s nobody on the UFC roster like Demetrious Johnson.

Cris Cyborg

Can you imagine going 50 rounds with Cris Cyborg? Nobody would make it past the 6th round, absolutely no way. Cyborg eats concrete for breakfast, metal for lunch and a three course meal consisting of nothing but diamonds. Cyborg is a machine who is running the women’s Featherweight championship and has been champion since July of 2017 and she may not be undefeated in MMA, she is in the UFC.

A lot of the fans love Cyborg, although she does have a lot of haters for “looking like a man” but the truth is, Cyborg would do incredibly well in the men’s division and that’s not an insult - far from it. Cyborg is a legit fighter who looks legit, feels legit and is legit.

Stipe Miocic

The heavyweight champion is really popular and everybody watches his every move. Miocic has the nickname of “The Baddest Man On The Planet” and it’s clear to see why. He destroys his opponents and will have the heavyweight title for a good while.

The fans enjoy his fights and has a big build up. For instance, he is set to battle it out with
Daniel Cormier who is the light heavyweight champion and there couldn’t be more hype. Miocic has earned his respect and is one of the most popular fighters in the UFC today.

Daniel Cormier

Cormier is a UFC veteran who has been in the promotion as an active fighter since 2013 and has fought big names like Jon Jones, Frank Mir, Rashad Evans, Roy Nelson, Anthony Johnson, Alexander Gustafsson and the list goes on and on. Cormier has earned every fight he’s gotten and has never received one suspension and has also done panels for the UFC.

Cormier is a dedicated fighter to the sport and the majority of the fans love him. Daniel Cormier has a big legacy and I hope his fight against Miocic is a good one.

But who is the most popular UFC fighter at the moment?

I would say Stipe Miocic is the most popular UFC fighter at the moment as he always delivers in his fights and 9/10 comes out victorious. He is by far the most popular fighter and the fans do see what’s good in him.

But what do you think? Do you think Miocic is the most popular UFC fighter? Feel free to tell us on Twitter, Facebook and even send an email. I’ve been Josh from All Things Combat and that’s all.
