Royce Gracie- By far the most influential because he shaped MMA with BJJ. Every fighter who wanted to compete against him successfully had to learn to atleast defend themselves on the ground, which shaped MMA into what it is today. As far as the other 4 TBD.

Royce-For tranforming peoples perception of martial arts

Chuck, Tito, and Randy for being the faces MMA as it began to emerge from its dark period into the national spotlight.
