My opinion:
I also think Ronda is a potential candidate, but feel like she has a clear 50/50 split of haters and fans. While for Chael and Nick on the other hand, it seems like they have far more people who actually genuinely hate them. I mean, even really casual MMA fans seem to know that these two are the "bad guys".
Personally, I think it's a good thing for a fighter to be hated at such a level since it makes him/her a bigger draw, but for a promoter to be hated as much as Dana is - I just don't think it's good for the sport.

- Dana White (obviously)
- Chael Sonnen
- Nick Diaz
