The UFC has seen many fighters come and go. Some have risen to the top, some are on their way to the top and unfortunately, some haven’t been as successful as their peers.
Out of all these fighters, only some will be remembered forever and will be a part of history.
They may be remembered for different reasons; for example, they may have brought the sport to a new demographic or have been one of the greatest champions. Either way, they will be remembered.
At UFC 132, one of these iconic figures is fighting in his second middleweight bout and that is the legendary Wanderlei Silva.
In this list, I have tried to assemble the fighters that have been the most popular figures in the history of the sport. Whether people loved them or hated them, this list includes all the fighters that will always be remembered for encouraging people to tune in and watch them fight.
So, without further ado, I present to you the most iconic figures in the UFC.
NOTE: If you think I’ve forgotten anybody, let me know in the comments and I might just add them to the list, if you can convince me.
