There’s a lot more that goes into the sport of mixed martial arts than the average fan may think.
In fact, a single performance can define a martial artist’s career despite spending years after years training in the sport.
Over the years we’ve come to realize that the sport isn’t merely about fame and fortune but dedication, desire, and the will to succeed.
These characteristics have transformed many martial artists into dominant champions at the highest stage of the sport.
In total, there are 11 champions in the UFC and Strikeforce organizations.
So, the following slides display a power ranking of every UFC and Strikeforce champion.

Whether you’ve participated in a sport or have attended an event, it’s likely you or your fellow fan base has let out a cast of “boos” in anger or disgust for a specific performance.
In the Ultimate Fighting Championship, it may not even be the result of a specific performance but simply a dislike towards certain fighters.
For one reason or another, fans love to root against certain fighters.
In fact, these specific fighters could be some of the most talented in the organization but it doesn’t matter.
You can’t change a fan’s mind and you certainly can’t stop them from rooting against a specific fighter.

When we begin to look back on our favorite athletes in a specific sport, we’re often drawn to those who left a lasting impression on our lives.
Our first instinct is to recall the athletes who stuck out to us for something they said or accomplished over the course of their career.
In the same sense, we’re more likely to remember those who left it all out on the table; those who gave every ounce of blood, sweat and tears they had.
Edgar is a product of Toms River, N.J., and has developed the reputation as arguably the toughest fighter in MMA today.
In fact, Edgar’s toughness has translated into a spot on the top pound-for-pound rankings, as he’s also the UFC lightweight champion.
While Edgar certainly isn’t up to speed with the Anderson Silva‘s and the Georges St-Pierre’s of the world, it’s only a matter of time.
To the surprise of many, Edgar could be amongst the top of the list sooner than some may think.
As we’ve come to realize, Silva has been sidelined due to an injury he endured in training preparations leading up to his bout with YushinOkami at UFC 134.
However, Silva’s injuries have since escalated into a serious restraint on his career as he won’t return until the midpoint of 2012.
The same could be said for current welterweight champion, St-Pierre, who’s currently recovering from a severe ACL injury.
It appears as if Silva is heading towards the emergency exit sign of his career, as he’s already 36 years old.
St-Pierre, who’s just 30, has plenty left in the tank, but an injury such as his most recent could play a lasting effect on his career.
Therefore, with the departure of both Silva and St-Pierre in the near future, Edgar will be left competing for the No. 1 position with UFC light heavyweight champion Jon “Bones” Jones.
Many believe Jones is the more complete fighter, as he’s demonstrated the skill set to be the 205-pound champion for a very long time.
However, up until this point in his career, Edgar is more proven and is undoubtedly the tougher fighter.
If Edgar can defeat his upcoming opponent Benson Henderson at UFC 144, he’ll be well on his way to becoming the best pound-for-pound fighter in MMA.

As we’ve come to realize over the years, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson isn’t necessarily the friendliest man on the planet.
While Jackson has certainly evolved into a fan favorite and one of the more entertaining fighters in MMA today, sometimes, he lets his emotions get the best of him.
In fact, Jackson recently let loose on Twitter when he was addressed by a fan on a potential fight with Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal in the near future.

After suffering an injury leading up to his bout with Brian Ebersole at UFC 140, Rory “Ares” MacDonald was removed from the card by UFC President Dana White.
MacDonald is in the process of making his return to the Octagon: He’ll take on Che Mills on March 24th at UFC 145.
Over the course of his young career, MacDonald has often been referred to as the future of the welterweight division.
In fact, many believe he is a miniature Georges St-Pierre.
Fans can expect to see a better than ever MacDonald when he makes his long awaited return to UFC 145 in just a few short months.
