Runner ups

4. Andrei Arlovski
5. Royce Gracie

Gracie because I remember watching it when it first came out and he was just awesome. Kind of like the pioneer of MMA and the first big star, like Elvis to Rock N Roll. Even if you never saw any of his fights, you just respected him no matter what. Arlovski just has an exciting style and is almost always going to give you a great fight to be excited about.

Onto my favorites, GSP is just absolutely awesome and exciting as well, on the ground or standing, he's just one of the best all around fighters and every fight I've seen him in so far has been action packed

Crocop just seems like a machine with no emotion and insane power. Those leg kicks are just superhuman it seems.

Fedor, I always heard lots about him and he was near the top of my list even though I didn't see any of his fights until just a few weeks ago. He just had my respect through what I'd heard and when I downloaded a lot of his fights over the past few weeks I've realised just how good this SOB is. He's an absolute animal. That ground and pound and his submissions are just awesome. Can't wait to see him whoop the UFC HW's like Sylvia and a few others now that UFC bought PRIDE. I love Couture but at his age with the talent he has to face in the future he's going to be back commentating very soon. How about your thoughts ?
