    There are many fighters in MMA that just seem to resemble a particular boxer in the way that they fight. Not necessarily the way they look. Can anyone think of any?

    Arlovski/Wlad - I think that Arlovski reminds me of Wlad. He has great hands, good power, strong, but you always wonder if he is going to either get his jaw cracked or crumble mentally at any given moment.

    Anderson Silva/RJJ - Both have unbelievable skills and very quick and love to put on a show in the ring/cage. NBoth also PFP contenders and very well respected.

    GSP/Lennox - Both always conquer the man who beat them. Both don't really like to get hit. Both are great technicians.

    Wanderlei Silva/Tyson - Both terrorized their respective divisions for a very long time. Both had a killer fighting instinct that made you feel sorry for their opponent. Both had the most frightening staredown in their respective sport.

    Others?

    Nice list. Ill trade Machida for Silva. Machida humiliates his opponents and doesn't even lose seconds of fights. Just like Rjj did.

    True, but Silva fights more of a flair than Machida does I think. Kinda like RJJ.
