With UFC veterans such as Randy Couture and Matt Hamill retiring, we got to wondering how many fights some of the best fighters in the UFC have left in them before they decide to call it quits.
While some of these fighters have been around for awhile and are likely considering retirement already, others are just hitting their stride in the sport and have a very bright future ahead of them.
Let’s take a look at the top 25 fighters in the UFC and how many fights they might have left in their MMA careers.

If a movie was made about a fighter in the UFC, who would be the actor to play that fighter?
This was a question that was posed to me, interested me, and I was intrigued to find out.
Before embarking on a quest to find the actors that could play the fighter in question, I had to set some guidelines and criteria.
One of my criteria was that the actor has to bear some physical resemblance to the fighter. I mean, it wouldn’t make sense if Danny DeVito was cast to play Jose Aldo would it?
Next, I decided that the fighter needed to have an interesting enough life story for it to be made into a movie.
However, the problem with this, is that some of the more intriguing stories of fighters did not have anyone that bore any resemblance to the fighter. If I just picked any actor to portray any fighter, there would be no need for this slideshow.
With these factors and more in mind, I set off to find the actors that would play the fighters if a movie was made about them.
Bear in mind, this is a light hearted piece.
So without further ado, here are the actors I have selected that could potentially portray fighters, if movies were made about them.

UFC on Versus 5 goes down on August 14, and it features a main event matchup between sluggers Chris Lytle and Dan Hardy. Both have lost their previous bouts, but wins and losses don’t make them intriguing. Fans know what they will get when they enter the cage and that is non-stop fight action.
Lytle has never been finished in a career of more than 50 fights while Hardy has only been knocked out once in more than 30 bouts, which includes a five-round championship bout with UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre.
From champions to contenders and up-and-comers, these 10 fighters bring a lot of energy to the cage, and it usually makes for exciting fights.

At UFC 133, Rory MacDonald continued his meteoric rise to the top of the welterweight division with a first round thrashing of veteran Mike Pyle.
Brian Ebersole also represented the welterweight division well, as he defeated Dennis Hallman in the opening stanza of their bout. After having his back taken almost immediately, Ebersole reversed Halmman and blasted the speedo-wearing veteran with elbows.
With UFC 133 in the books, let’s see if either of these two rising contenders did enough to break into the top 10 of the welterweight division.

Mixed martial arts is the most dynamic sport on the planet. Physical tools necessary to excel as an ultimate fighter include strength, endurance, speed, eye-hand coordination and power.
In layman’s terms, power is referred to as explosiveness. Physiologically, explosiveness is the ability to deliver force quickly.
In short, possessing explosiveness means that a fighter can transfer his strength and speed through his strikes quicker than his opponent.
With the evolution of athletes in this world, each subsequent generation is becoming faster, stronger, quicker and more explosive.
The UFC has benefited tremendously from this evolutionary tract of Darwinian theory.
The explosive abilities of Bas Rutten and Frank Shamrock were a rarity inside the famed Octagon. Nowadays, that explosiveness is the standard of which most mixed martial artists possess.
Even though more fighters possess all the necessary traits needed to be successful inside the cage, a select few practitioners stand above the rest with respect to their explosiveness inside the Octagon.
Just a side note, this slideshow pertains to currently signed UFC competitors who are on the active duty list. Sorry, Brock Lesnar, even though you are an explosive dynamo, I did not add you to this list.
Additionally, “The Phenom” Vitor Belfort possesses the most explosive hands in the UFC, historically. His return to the famed Octagon has been short lived since his recent re-signing.
Therefore, because Belfort does not have a recent body of work illustrating his explosiveness, I have kept him off of this list as well.
Please follow along as I provide the most explosive UFC fighters competing today.
I welcome your comments.
