BJ penn - master of innate talent and skill, showed us that MMA is not just about raw strength and aggression, and gave inspiration to many that you dont have to be completely ripped to compete in MMA. (I know a few people that started training MMA soley because of seeing this little hawaiian kid defeat the god that was matt hughes at the time)
matt hughes - Master of strength and heart, and the most dominant champion ever in MMA. Showed us that Control is the most important aspect of MMA. If you are a better striker than your opponent, you must control the fight by keeping it standing, etc....Matt took the fight were he wanted it and pounded out many a glorious victory.
randy couture - master of the gameplan. A very smart fighter that showed us that adapting your fighting style based on who you were fighting could get the better of an opponent thats expected to beat you
royce gracie - the pioneer, showed everyone what MMA was about, not just bloody brawling, but graceful submissions. A legend and icon to the sport of MMA.
fedor - The unbeatable fighter. Showed us that the perfect combination of skill, control, and intelligence could not be beat in the world of MMA. Regarded by many fighters as the best and an inspiration to all. Humble in victory, elusive to defeat.
