The UFC’s middleweight division has gone from grim to gratifying in just a few short years. An entire new crop of prospects have fought their way into the pool of sharks, and it’s left us with a list of fascinating fantasy match-ups, and some blossoming stars.

There’s also a fair handful of talent within the division that could one day give champion Anderson Silva fits.

Speaking of Anderson, you’ll note that he’s not included in this list; neither is Yushin Okami for that matter. I hope you’ve been paying enough attention to already know they’ll be colliding at UFC 134, but if you didn’t know, now you do.

Here’s a look at 10 middleweight fights the fans would like to see, that could stir up the rankings and make for some new marquee top-liners.

Whenever we watch any MMA action, we expect to see professional fighters acting like professionals in the cage or ring.

Sadly, this isn’t always the case.

Fighters love to fight and fighters love to be the center of attention, and some do it much better than others. Being inside the cage can bring out some primal, animal instincts in a fighter, and being in front of a camera can sometimes bring out much, much more.

It’s not just about the fight and the skill in today’s mixed martial arts world, it’s also about the brand. If you have a certain style and brand yourself properly, opportunities will come: write a book, do a movie or make some big bucks endorsing a sports drink.

Show some charisma and you will be followed. When you are followed, you are more likely to stay relevant in this sport; of course, nothing matters if you suck in the cage!

Some guys bring the absolute alter ego, some guys reach for a persona and wing it fairly well and some are just plain born with it. There is no doubt that it has become a huge part of being successful in the MMA game.

Here is my list of The 10 Most Charismatic Fighters In MMA Today.
