7. Urijah Faber
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_AgdP0Zerk Another fighter that tends to be forgotten about, due to being more laid back. Who can forget how Urijah Faber was the face of the WEC? He was the poster boy for that organization and still remains to be a major attraction, despite his shortcomings in UFC title fights. Fans appreciate how dominant he can be, along with his overall swagger. His "California Love" entrance theme always gets a massive reaction, regardless of where his fight is being held. When it comes to the lower weight classes, nobody is a bigger star than Faber at this point. His relentless pace is what captivates fans inside the octagon. Then on the outside, he couldn't be a happier person and embraces all fans. The only time you see him negative is anything Dominick Cruz related. That is still a rivalry that has yet to be fully concluded, although it has been well-documented. It still made Faber into an even more iconic figure, who didn't hold back in criticizing Cruz. He didn't need to cut promos or attempt to slander Cruz in any sneaky way. When they had to do interviews together, Faber would gladly speak his mind. His honesty made people gravitate to him more. He may not ever be champion, but he'll always be remembered for being an iconic figure in the lower weight classes and having a likable persona.
