Since I am bored and it's a slow day, I decided to come up with a list of who I think are the ten scariest looking MMA fighters. This isn't who is bigger or better or anything, it's simply a list of who I think, if I was in a bar and saw these people, I would think, "stay away from that mean looking son of a bitch!!".
#10: Clay Guida
#9: Cristiane 'Cyborg' Santos
#8: Chuck Liddell
#7 : Kevin Randleman
#6: Renato 'Babalu' Sobral
#5: Kimo
#4: Keith Jardine
#3: Wanderlei Silva
#2: Andrei Arlovski
and the winner, #1: Jeff Monson!
Beinga TUF noob my knowledge of the old school fighters is limited. If you feel I missed an obvious choice, post a pic!

Clay Guida and Keith Jardine are not scary to me.
You know who you forgot? Cro Cop.

Cro Cop? Dunno. I don’t want him to hit me, but he looks like an accountant.

Seriously
How do you leave out Cyborg? or Melvin Manhoef?
by Luke Thomas on Nov 23, 2008 4:11 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Melvin?
Cyborg, I totally agree with. That guy scares me BUT Melvin Manhoef? That guy looks like a fry cook from Ben’s Chili Bowl on U st in DC
Leg Locks Rule!

I've never seen a fry cook that jacked
That wears a dog collar and would probably tear at your carcass just like one

Melvin looks..
batshit insane. I would def run away from him if he shot me a mean glance in a bar.

Good one
I didn’t know who the guy is until now, but he could definitely have made the list.

silly TUF noob
cyborg is a monster
Leg Locks Rule!

I’m sure he is. Now if he would only fight somewhere so us TUF noobs would see who he is.

The Santos’s have to be the scariest looking married couple on the entire planet… even outside of MMA…. they even beat Ashlee Simpson and that guy from Fall Out Boy.
Keith Jardine looks like a Conehead Assassin…. maybe he should drop the Dean of Mean.
This was awesome man, your boredom project made me laugh out loud and scared the bejesus out of my wife.
by Gunslinger20 on Nov 23, 2008 4:27 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Yet somehow she survives...
The wife was wondering how Brock Lesnar and Sable didn’t make the list… lol

lol! My apologies to her :)
As for Brock – if he had turned to murder, the police would have nicknamed him the Baby Face Killer. He’s big, but beyond that I don’t think of him as mean looking.
by mythbuster on Nov 23, 2008 7:29 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Apology accepted...
She also thought Cris Cyborg was a dude wearing makeup… lol

Try standing next to him
He would top the list. Dude is a monster..
by Blackout612 on Nov 23, 2008 11:49 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
solid list
some honorable mention:
houston alexander
alexander emelianenko
gene lebell?
by Headkick on Nov 23, 2008 5:40 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
And
I definitely think Kimbo Slice is scarier than Clay Guida.
by Luke Thomas on Nov 23, 2008 5:51 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Sorry
I can’t get past his hairline. If he was completely bald, or had a wild head of hair then maybe.
Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t pick a fight with the guy tho :)
by mythbuster on Nov 23, 2008 7:31 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Houstan Alexander, good call. I didn’t think of him, he could easily replace Guida!

Holy crap!!!
How did Horse Face Silva not make the Top Ten?
by Gunslinger20 on Nov 23, 2008 6:29 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I think thats gravity…. all the weight in his chin pulling his head down
by Gunslinger20 on Nov 23, 2008 8:23 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
i think he just looks stupid
that chin is epic
im not impressed with your performance
by troy145 on Nov 23, 2008 6:32 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Which is worse...Horse Face Silva or Jay Leno?
His chin enters a room 5 minutes before he does…
by Gunslinger20 on Nov 23, 2008 6:37 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I don’t care how much he sucks, Hong Man is a scary son of a bitch. Likewise for Bob Sapp.
And Aleks sheerly for the potential of gang ties. Those eyes have seen things.

Emo?
Is that eyeliner he’s wearing?? UH OH… HOT DOG!!!
by Gunslinger20 on Nov 23, 2008 6:35 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Aleks prison tattoos would scare the crap out of me, but his face is the kind that people would think he’s an easy mark to pick on. It would be a very bad decision tho.
by mythbuster on Nov 23, 2008 7:34 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Not me, man
Aleks’ face is the exact type that I steer clear of. The ones who grimace or frown all the time aren’t scary. The guys you can’t read are the scary ones.
There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

Looks familiar....
Wasn’t this guy a Backstreet Boy or a member of NSync?

by Gunslinger20 on Nov 23, 2008 6:47 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Aleks, Jardine, Wanderlei, Slice, Cyborg (x2) and Costa.
I don’t correlate jacked with scary so most of the guys previously mentioned don’t make my list. I’d even go so far as to say a lot of the ones already listed are some of the better looking fighters. Scary, to me, is a guy who looks like he doesn’t care what happens to him.
by Simco on Nov 23, 2008 6:31 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
maybe the late great Evan Tanner- he had so many faces and some were scary like the top knot look and the Kimbo white look.
by Headkick on Nov 23, 2008 6:32 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Kimbo white?
i think you mean Evan Tanner black
im not impressed with your performance
by troy145 on Nov 23, 2008 6:32 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I was thinking exactly of that, Tanner with the crazy topknot after the fight. But that was just one shot, and he looked like a nice guy every other time. These guys I listed almost always look mean (in my opinion).

I don’t think your top two are even that scary. Arlovski’s kind of a pretty boy, and I’m used to punk/anarchist types like Monson I guess. Like, I know that guy wouldn’t just go off on someone in normal day-to-day life.
Wandy and Thiago in fight mode are frightful. Bully Bob Sapp makes me poop my pants, though I know I just have to graze his face to get him to stop. B.J. Penn licking his blood gloves scares me (in a good way).
by Mike Fagan on Nov 23, 2008 7:19 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
I thought about Sapp, but he’s just big. his face actually seemed kind of friendly lol.
As for BJ Penn, that one spot yeah, but otherwise he looks like a monk.

In all honesty, if you can survive the 1st 5 minutes.. I think you would be fine..

Babalou?
The only scary thing about Sobral is how badly i wanna see him in a pair of speedo…
Leg Locks Rule!

I'm as straight as they come...
I’m not being gay or anything, I’m just saying that if Babalou was on the cover of SI in a pair of speedo, I would go and buy a copy and keep it next to my bed. I’m just trying to support MMA thats all….

MTV loves this guy
He’s been doing MTV True Life specials. He can’t seem to make it back to the big leagues in MMA. He does small regional shows and he’s still doing his Muay Thai. Kit Cope… great Muay Thai kickboxer… one of the best but he is case and point as to why kickboxing success doesn’t automatically mean MMA success.
by Gunslinger20 on Nov 23, 2008 8:46 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
One of the best in Muay Thai? This guy would get absolutely smashed by top Muay Thai fighters. Kit Cope fought bare knuckle against cooks and tuk-tuk drivers in Thailand. Nobody knows him there and he gets no respect from the Muay Thai community. And if his kickboxing is so good, why isn’t he in K-1? He is a joke.
by skeed on Nov 23, 2008 11:22 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Say what? Is there proof that he fought against cooks or drivers? Or for that matter, is there any proof to anything that you said
Im not trying to disagree with you. I’m just curious if this is true
by Discman2 on Nov 23, 2008 11:42 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
No legitimate Thai fighter fights bare knuckle, it is actually looked down upon by the muay thai community. Kit Cope was a “Bare Knuckle Champion”. All the top fighters fight in legitimate matches in prestigious stadiums like Lumpinee and Rajadamnern. No self-respecting fighter who comes from a legitimate camp would fight bare knuckle in Thailand. The people who do it are mostly part-time out of shape fighters.

A bare knuckle muay thai fight in Thailand is more like a tough man contest in America.
by skeed on Nov 24, 2008 1:45 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I agee BUT
He did beat the hell out of Alex Gong a while back. Alex Gong was considered a very good american muay thai fighter. He’s done well in kickboxing/muay thai But yes, he would get smashed in Thailand
Leg Locks Rule!

How about:
Carlos Condit when he’s entering the cage?
Scariest lightweight guys would be:
BJ Penn, when he’s in that trance
JZ Calvancante
Marcus Hicks
for my money, the scariest looking guy in MMA is easily Wanderlai. And it’s not even close.
by lbk on Nov 23, 2008 8:04 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Condit’s ‘scary face’ is laughable. Like a C level movie actor trying to look tough.
case in point

i remember the first time i ever saw him fight i laughed so hard at this prefight expressions. great fighter, cool dude, but to come out of total anonymity and start making ridiculous faces like that was hilarious

Agreed
Carlos Condit reminds me of the valedictorian of my high school….. for the exception that Carlos Condit could totally kick my ass and the valedictorian of my graduating class would just want to pound on my ass… lol

Wanderlei Silva and Babalu strike me as the type who probably sit quietly at the bar minding their own business. However if you bump into them than watch out!
Chuck to me would the scariest at the bar. He’s the one guy on the list who I believe would go to bar looking for a fight. Can’t you see Chuck sitting at a seedy biker bar waiting for the out of place guy to walk him? Immediately Chuck would stare the guy down for 20 seconds as a warning before walking right over and beating the crap out of him.

From the early UFC’s? That dude and his power mullet… dangerous combo if he has enough PBR and Busch beer.

I was gonna make one but didn’t. Maybe another day, or someone else can. Lauzon, Hazelett, Crop Cop… I think it could be a top 50 list :)

Sorry, Tamdan, but it’s gotta be you. Or Rory Singer. Anyone that would look at place at a bar mitzvah has my vote.

There are different kinds of scary, I guess. Like if I saw Randleman in a bar, he’d be the one on the list that I’d feel I had the least chance of beating in a fight, but I wouldn’t be too worried that he’d go too far. He’d probably just hold me down and humiliate me.
Somebody like Jardine on the other hand, doesn’t look as ripped, and certainly doesn’t look like somebody that knows martial arts…so I’d feel I had a chance. But he also looks like he might take me back to his lair and peel my skin off.
