Nick Diazīoth Nick and Nate Diaz could’ve easily made this list, but I chose the older brother this time because, well, he’s one of the best to talk trash. Some, like myself, believe that he backed up his words with action in the Octagon, defeating all the top fighters in the middleweight division. Some fans find him arrogant because of his behavior (for instance, the infamous “hump” on Paulo Costa after knocking him out). He’s borderline cocky with his trash talk and overconfidence. However, one can certainly see some character traits in Israel Adesanya that resemble the Irish. Israel Adesanyaĭon’t get me wrong Conor McGregor is the king of his craft regarding trash talking. It was even sweeter when the opponent was willing to retaliate like Evans, giving us some all-time trash talk snippets. He had several legendary disputes with the cream of the light heavyweight division, including Chuck Liddell and Rashad Evans. That’s what made half the fans love him, and the other half hate him.

However, he was never afraid to spit fire with anybody in the light heavyweight division. Rampage Jackson’s most recognizable attribute is his size. It was Chuck Liddell, the legendary Iceman – and their feud is as legendary as any other in MMA history. However, his biggest rival wasn’t even Ken Shamrock. He trash-talked with every fighter he ever faced. Although he was a successful fighter, his fighting isn’t what made Ortiz so famous. Speaking of the devil, Shamrock’s number one rival, Tito Ortiz, is next on the list. Ken went rage-mode and delivered some of the best trash talk moments in MMA history before and after their fight. It started when Ortiz flipped Shamrock off and spurred some trash his way.

Shamrock fought at the first few UFC events, creating an incredible rivalry with Royce Gracie.īut, he showed off his trash-talking skills a few years later with Tito Ortiz. It’s only right that Ken Shamrock opens up this list, as we can easily say he’s UFC’s pioneer trash talker. Here are the eleven best trash talkers in the UFC ever, ranked.
