- Chuck Liddell
- "The Iceman"
- 21-9-0

Chuck was known mostly for his hands, but he was also very skilled all around. His right hand is one of the most recognized and deadly strikes to ever be used in MMA.

- Mirko Filipović
- "Cro Cop"
- 38-11-2, 1 NC

Back in his Pride days, Cro Cops head kicks were the deadliest strikes to ever be thrown. When he threw either one of them and they landed, you were out for sure. "Right leg hospital, left leg cemetery." - Mirko Cro Cop

- Maurício Rua
- "Shogun"
- 27-14-1
-
In Shogun's prime, no one wanted to stand with him. He was a deadly Muay Thai striker, known mostly for his kicks and knees. Shogun wasn't the most technical boxer, but his brawler style scored him plenty of knockouts with his deadly hands.

- Junior dos Santos
- "Cigano"
- 21-10-0
-
JDS is the current UFC HW champ, and I see him holding that belt for many,many years to come. Dos Santos might have the best boxing in MMA, soon to be MMA history. His boxing is so technical, with his uppercut being his signature finish. He is known mostly for his hands, but he also has some nasty kicks as well.

- Wanderlei Silva
- "The Axe Murderer"
- 35-14-1, 1 NC
-
Wanderlei Silva was an absolute killer in his Prime. Silva was known mostly for his non stop, mad dog like fighting style. His specialty was knees and punches from the Muay Thai clinch. He holds the record for most wins and knockout victories in Pride history. He was undefeated for 5 years.

8
- Alistair Overeem
- "The Demolition Man"
- 47-19-0, 1 NC
-
Even if Overeem uses steroids, you can't deny he's one hell of a striker. He has some of the best knees displayed in MMA, and his kicks can definitely score him some knock out wins.

9
- Bas Rutten
- "El Guapo"
- 28-4-1
-
Bas Rutten is one of my favorite fighters of all time. He was a fearless striker, willing to stand with any one. He's an old school fighter from back in the Pancrase days when they used palm striking. He is known mostly for being a hilarious commentator and for his nasty liver kick finishes.

- Vitor Belfort
- "The Phenom"
- 26-14-0, 1 NC
-
Vitor Belfort came into the spotlight using his quick and powerful hands, and even 'till today, he's still known for that. He has some of the best boxing in MMA, and his quick hands have finished some of MMA's greatest legends, including Wanderlei Silva and Rich Franklin.
