Fedor Emelianenko, Ken Shamrock, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, Alistair Overeem and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueria are some of the most recognizable names in all of Mixed Martial Arts.

These men are some of the most popular fighters to ever set foot in a ring or octagon, some of the greatest champions and most entertaining mixed martial artists to ever fight.
