MMA is a young sport so i think i'll leave it at that. Adding anyone else would only cheapen the list.
Sakuraba disagrees.

this has been done so many times

1. ROYCE - showed its not about strength and size but skill and technique
2. SAKU - the people's warrior; the sport's first true showman
3. FEDOR - GOAT, enough said
4. FRANK SHAMROCK - the pioneer of modern mma; the first great all around fighter
5. RANDY - the ultimate underdog; showed age is not an issue and that game planning is key

He doesn't yet have the body of work to put him up there.

Royce is the first name that should be in the list. He showed why you need to learn the ground game and how dangerous it is. It all started with him

the next four could be arguable but i'm going with:

Frank Shamrock - first to show crosstraining in mma
Fedor - need i say more?
Randy - his titles speak for itself
Sakuraba - Anyone who beats 4 Gracies pre-2001 should be up here

Yeah those would be my picks, except maybe replace Nog or Crocop for Royce.
