Reaching the pinnacle of the sport of MMA is widely considered when a fighter obtains an UFC title belt. There’s been a laundry list of champions over the years, but very few have been remembered in the manner the guys on this list are.
While winning the title was no doubt their biggest accomplishment, winning over the fans surely was an added benefit. When they entered the building, fans erupted in cheers. Even the ones on this list who aren’t considered universal fan favourites were still valued for their expertise in the Octagon.
Champions have come and gone, but none of them have touched our minds and hearts like these fighters have.
