Since its inception, the Ultimate Fighting Championship has been the premier organization for martial artists to test their skills.
At UFC 1, a small, unassuming Brazilian took the world by storm. After hearing for years that striking martial arts were the way to go, it seemed martial artists were now needing to mix different training methods in for their preparation.
By learning multiple techniques across multiple divisions, a mixed martial artist was born. Some of these fighters would have great careers but the men on this list were a step above the rest.
The memory left in the wake of these fighters careers will be remembered forever. Champions will be remembered, but legends never die.
