Frankie Edgar, Cain Velasquez, BJ Penn and Den Henderson. These are just a handful of the fighters that have made the UFC the global brand that it is today. The sport continues to explode in popularity, and that expansion has also seen an increase in the variety of styles that are displayed in the Octagon. 

More wrestler than fighter. More boxing than wrestling. A college fighter, or someone more school in jiu-jitsu. The UFC doesn’t care, as long as you bring it with an attitude. 

Which of the fighting styles is the most successful? Which fighter demonstrates the right balance and mixture needed to earn and retain a belt? All of these guys are athletes, but whose technique separates them from the rest? 

Bleacher Report takes a look at a dozen styles, and the fighters who utilize them. Is GSP’s approach the best one? What about Jon Jones? Which champion’s style is best suited for the long haul? Take a look and let us know who’s your favorite, and what style is the best for UFC.

When you think of the most badass UFC fighters what names come to mind? If you said Anderson Silva, Randy Couture, Chuck Lidell or Ken Shamrock, this video is for you.

With the UFC 130 Rampage vs. Hamill fight quickly approaching on Saturday, it’s time to take a step back and analyze the most badass UFC fighters ever. But where does badassness come from? When do you first know you are a badass?

Take for example Ken Shamrock, who as a troubled youth, ran away from home at the age of 10, only to get stabbed days later by another group of runaways. After that event Shamrock ended up in an alternative youth hostile that taught him to solve problems by getting in the ring, not talking it out.

It was there Ken Shamrock was born, and he would go on to be one of the most badass ultimate fighters ever.

Jon Jones is a current hot topic who along with being the youngest UFC title holder also has the longest reach in UFC history. Is it too soon to put him on the list?
