BJ “The Prodigy” Penn (16-7-2 MMA, 12-6-2 UFC) was once the most feared lightweight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Three of his first four fights in the octagon ended via punches, and while he’s regarded as a lethal submission artist, it’s Penn’s striking that has often been his opponent’s downfall.
Making the list with Penn is a current champion and three of the top five fighters with total strikes landed in UFC history are scheduled for upcoming fights.

It has been five years since Kendall Grove (12-9 MMA, 7-6 UFC) defeated Ed Herman (22-9 MMA, 5-5 UFC) to capture the Season 3 crown of The Ultimate Fighter.
Throughout the season, Herman widely proclaimed that he would be victorious. But what he didn’t expect was for the 6’6″ Grove to stop him in his tracks at the show’s finale and claim the six-figure contract.
Since their time on TUF, each man has taken a different path, but they could now be primed to settle their unfinished business.
Herman has suffered back-to-back losses twice in his UFC career and most recently defeated Tim Credeur at the TUF 13 finale to avoid making it six losses in the organization.
“Short Fuse” returned from a 22-month layoff when he faced Credeur and was impressive in doing so as he claimed a first-round knockout.
Prior to that, Herman defeated David Loiseau (UFC 97) and suffered a loss to Aaron Simpson at UFC 102.
Herman currently owns a gym with teammate Ryan Schultz in Colorado and a rematch against a fighter who has owns a victory over him would surely interest him.
After defeating Herman, Grove went on to claim submission victories over Chris Price (UFC: The Final Chapter) and Alan Belcher (UFC 69).
Like Herman, Grove suffered back-to-back losses but rebounded with victories over Jason Day and Evan Tanner.
The Hawaiian is set to refocus his career under the tutelage of coach Justin McCully and while he once defeated Herman, a rematch against him would surely get Grove to happily return to Octagon in the near future.
While Herman and Grove have seen their share of ups and downs, the first fight was an underrated classic and they’d certainly entertain fans for a second time.

There’s a reason why UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre hasn’t been defeated since UFC 69 in April, 2007 and it’s his wrestling.
While St-Pierre never competed at a high level like some of the all-time greats, the French-Canadian’s takedowns have been second to none.
In addition to the welterweight champion, four world class fighters hold down the top-five spots for the most takedowns landed in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

John Alessio (31-14) is slated to face UFC veteran Josh “The Dentist” Neer (29-10-1) at Superior Cage Combat in August.
Alessio announced the fight on Twitter, and Bleacher Report confirmed the news with a source close to the event.
Alessio stated: “I’m super pumped to take on multiple @ufc vet Josh ‘the Dentist’ Neer in the Main event @SuperiorCCombat Aug 20th @ the Orleans in Vegas!”
Superior Cage Combat will take place from The Orleans Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas on August 20.
Alessio is 7-1 since May 2009 and will be looking to extend that impressive record when he faces Neer. The Xtreme Couture-trained welterweight has notched 10 knockouts and 14 submissions in his career and could be one or two victories away from returning to the UFC.
Neer has won back-to-back fights since suffering a submission loss to top-10 lightweight Eddie Alvarez in May 2010.

Every sport has coaches who receive enormous amounts of attention for their work.
The NFL has larger than life coaches in Bill Belichick and Rex Ryan. Mike D’Antoni and Doc Rivers are two gentlemen who are frequently in NBA headlines.
The same can be said for Mixed Martial Arts, Greg Jackson will go down as one of the greatest coaches of all-time, and most recently, Firas Zahabi has seen his exposure skyrocket.
That being said, the sport features some of the most talented and hardest working coaches in all of sports who receive little attention from the public for their efforts.
So, here’s to the gentlemen that deserve attention for the countless hours they spend in and out of the gym helping their fighters chase their dreams.
