Default Easiest MMA style to duplicate?

Which current UFC fighter has the style most easily duplicated by up and coming young fighters? I tend to look at guys like Chuck Liddell who rely mostly on striking and a strong sprawl. Your ground training can be limited to defense to limit damage and avoid submissions.

Tommy Speer has a style that's pretty easy to duplicate.

Yes, yes it is. If you're not interested in winning of course.

I thought of this pic Pitbull had, when first read this.

In a way it's true fro Clay. The guy has great cardio and has a rentless GnP, but when I watch him fight it's like he is lackin good form or something. I don't know why, but fights like a barroom brawler sometimes. A very good one mind you.

id say the most basic style is to have a bit of striking and a bit of wrestling in order to stop being taken down

I thought about that too. I also though about if Clay got a haircut, how much more crisp he'd look. I honestly think the hair influences our, and the judge's perception of him, because he's actually really good.

That's sad. Time to get new judges if that's the case.
