For me, it's Matt Hughes. I have the utmost respect for his skills, strength, ability to evolve in MMA and overall toughness.
I guess I can't really say I'm NOT a fan of his, because I do enjoy watching him compete.

tim sylvia
Arona and Nak also come to mind.
no respect for arona after fingering sak and lister
GSP, Ton of talent, but don't like him personally
^^^ I'm curious, how can you not like him?
And my vote goes to Floyd Mayweather. I hate that dude, but man can he box.
Diego-he has some solid skills, but I strongly dislike his personality.
His attitude Tyson, his comment to Hughes after Hughes win, then he beats Hughes, shows a lack of respect for the belt, parties his ass off and gets tooled. Just don't care for the guy
TIM SYLVIA i dislike but i respect because eventhough he is a non-athlete, he is at the top of the ufc heavies...it isnt because he isnt skilled thats for sure..im just surprised he is able to stay up there...
I dislike Hughes and Sylvia a lot also, but wouldn't be the first to bet against either. I think my Hughes hate comes from the fact that i'm a huge GSP fan. Sylvia is just Sylvia, only fights hungry when he isn't champ. Hopefully he makes it exciting with Vera. Not going to bet against him, but I'm hoping he loses.
Matt Serra. He won the belt - he beat GSP - no one can take that away from him. That said, I don't know that he's the "greatest of all time" the way he carries himself. Hey, I might change my mind after he fights someone like Hughes if he wins.
Kos is a serious punk, but a good fighter. Same
bad feeling about Hughes but I enjoy watching him
fight.
Mad
Chuck Liddel, He is a great fighter but his style bugs me bad. Hes a standup striker who dont keep his hands up.
So far,most of the fighters mentioned on this thread are dead on.Koscheck,Sanchez,Shamrock,Hughes,Sylvia,and Arona are ALL pricks.
I dont see whats wrong w/GSP or Sherk though...
Fedor...notoriously difficult to deal with (going back to Pride/Inoki Boom Ba Ye)...going to keep us from seeing some great fights
Hughes, Diego, I'm sure there's more.
Baroni also.
I respect all of those that have respect for the sport and the fighters that participate in it. That doesn't mean I have to like every fighter out there, some of them I just don't like their styles, they don't come to fight, they come to win a decision etc...
Respect I think is mutual among fighters that have been around for a long time but newer fighters lack the respect for anyone else. This isn't an all the time thing but I see it in quite a few of the newer fighters. They aren't the hard working, family having pros but they are amateur fighters that quit their jobs to fight amateur and act like thugs to everyone.
