Who Is The Best Trash Talker In Mixed Martial Arts?

PrintThe war of words between Paul Daley and Josh Koscheck is beginning to heat up as their fight draws nearer. I've always wondered when more MMA fighters would catch on to the game of trash talk. I mean you've always had one or two here and there that were decent at selling a fight. However, there have never been as many trash talkers in the game as we currently have now. MMA has always been predicated on having respect for your opponents, therefore, many of the fighters chose to be very bland and exhibit little to no personality. However, I think fighters can talk a little trash to sell the fight without going absolutely overboard with it. A perfect example was Paul Daley stating what he was going to do to Dustin Hazelett at UFC 109. Daley said he was goiong to knock Hazelett out, and that's exactly what he went out there and did. What I want to know is who do you think is the best smack talker in all of MMA?

Frank Mir bar none.
Chael Sonnen is working his way up though.
Daley has a certain straight-to-the-point charm but Kos is mostly a douchebag without the charisma to go with it.
"I don’t care, hit him with your groin!"
haha
see this is where id respectively disagree!
guys who talk trash:
Koscheck
Daley
Serra
guys who talk shit (douchebags):
Mir…just an all round dick, with an inflated idea of himself
Hardy…a pompous english something

I disagree
Tito is SO GOOD that he manages to drum up interest for fights DESPITE his record. I think that’s pretty impressive.
Does he really though?
Didn’t seem to justify any consideration of him as a major draw going against Griffin – who’s not completely ass in that aspect either…
I seriously think people in general could give a fuck about Tito, he’s clawing desperately right now…
"I don’t care, hit him with your groin!"
Nah
I think it’s more of people just like seeing him get his ass whipped….even if he never opened his mouth.

Where is Dan Hardy ?
Of those, I’d pick Mir because he actually believes the crap that comes out of his mouth :) PS: I’m a fan of most trash talkers except Tito. That guy I HATE.

Chael means KING TRASH TALK in Ancient Aramaic
Tito is contrived. Mir really doesn’t talk trash, he just gives his honest assessment of fighters. I don’t necessarily think he’s being intentionall disrespectful.
Chael is damn near in a class by himself. After all, he’s not a lazy MMA fighter that doesn’t work for the full 15 minutes. He gets to enjoy watching his fights on screen much longer than Anderson Silva . . . freaking pink shirts, hat to the back, fake english talker!
3PA,
I agree with you on Daley and Koscheck.
yeah yeah yeah . . .
Mir really doesn’t talk trash, he just gives his honest assessment of fighters. I don’t necessarily think he’s being intentionall disrespectful.
Agreed; it doesn’t count as trash talking when that’s how you are all the time. Let’s also not forget about how he’s dillusional.

Bar-none
It’s Forrest Lynn. Although if you’re looking for an actual fighter, I guess it’s probably Koscheck; he knows people don’t like him, he knows he can be a massive prick, and he pushes it as much as he possibly can.

The thing with Kos is that I don’t necessarily care about seeing him getting his ass whooped – him sustaining a career-ending injury in a car accident would suffice.
"I don’t care, hit him with your groin!"
brutal but funny.
yeah yeah yeah . . .

I've got to admit...
I’d be down for it.

Frank Mir only trash talks Brock Lesner because he is so obsessed with him Yolanda Saldívar thinks he needs to calm down.
?
where were you for the Kongo fight? Mir’s a straight up knob

wait till mir fights lesnar again. it will get ugly.
mir will say something to the effect “i will break lesnar’s ankle and retire him for good” you heard it hear first. i don’t know if he will accomplish it though.
I'm all about covering the spread and moneylines. I was building a house, I don't deserve this, deserves have nothing to do with it. Bang. "Unforgiven" I drink your milkshake. I drink it up! "There Will BE Blood"

He'll accomplish his dream
of eating an entire human fist. I call a NC due to Lesnar getting his entire hand caught in the mouth of Mir. The rematch will have Lesnar winning by what I like to call “ground and pound, and pound and pound”.

![From MMAJunkie.com:
Strikeforce heavyweight and former NFL great Herschel Walker (1-0 MMA, 1-0 SF) suffered a deep cut in training and has been forced to withdraw from next month's "Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Babalu" event.
Strikeforce officials today confirmed the change with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
Featuring a light heavyweight matchup between Dan Henderson and Renato "Babalu" Sobral, "Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Babalu" takes place Dec. 4 and airs on Showtime.
"I feel terrible about this," Walker stated in today's official release. "I know things like this happen in all sports, but I had trained very hard and was excited to be returning to the cage again."
Walker had been expected to face one-time WEC veteran Scott Carson (4-1 MMA, 0-0 SF).
According to Strikeforce officials, a Daniel Cormier knee strike opened a "deep cut under [Walker's] left eye that required multiple stitches"...
Despite the setback, Walker said he hopes to return to action quickly.
"I hope to fight again as soon as the cut heals," Walker said.](http://cdn3.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/161814/herschel-walker-2_small.jpg)
