- Jon Jones
- "Bones"
- 27-1-0, 1 NC
-
He's the best. The best KO's, the best submissions, the best at being dynamic and unpredictable in the octagon. He's beaten everybody. He's not someone to look up to outside of the cage, but when he's in a fight there's nobody I'd rather watch.

- Dustin Poirier
- "The Diamond"
- 30-8-0, 1 NC
-
Dustin is a warrior. He's a great ambassador of the sport. He keeps his head down and keeps working hard. He's grown so much since he started fighting in the UFC and it is always a joy to watch him fight. Plus, his fight against KZ is one of my all-time favorites!

- Khabib Nurmagomedov
- "The Eagle"
- 29-0-0
-
Khabib's wrestling is so captivating to me. He's one of those guys who is so good at one particular skill set that it is able to outclass almost everybody else. He takes so much pride in his fighting ability, and I respect the fact that he really isn't much of a trash talker. He lets his fights do the tallking for him.

- Donald Cerrone
- "Cowboy"
- 36-17-0, 2 NC
-
Cerrone's not out to necessarily be a champ, but if a fight means he's got a big payday coming then he's in and I like that. He scraps, he likes beer, and he's a man's man. Another fun fighter to watch.

- Max Holloway
- "Blessed"
- 26-7-0
-
Max is from that new generation that was among the first to start training for mma from a very young age. He's grown and evolved a lot since his first UFC fight and he's very positive in the face of adversity.

- Jorge Masvidal
- "Gamebred"
- 35-17-0
-
The BMF. Jorge likes to fight, and he's a real dude. 2019 was a good year for him and his stock continues to rise. I like the way he fights and I'm always excited to see who will be next to get handed a two-piece and a soda.

- Chan Sung Jung
- "The Korean Zombie"
- 17-8-0
-
KZ is a super well-rounded fighter, and I became an instant fan of his after his fight with Dustin Poirier. He's tough, he's exciting, and he's respectful.

- Demetrious Johnson
- "Mighty Mouse"
- 25-4-1
-
Mighty Mouse is the best men's' flyweight of all time. He's like the lightweight version of Jon Jones. He's so fast, he's so dynamic, and he always gets the job done.
-
9
- Rory MacDonald
- "Red King"
- 23-10-1
-
Tough as nails, super talented, and the personality of a psychopath. The only thing more fun than listening to Rory talk is watching him fight. He's so diverse in his skills. The only downside is that he no longer fights in the UFC.
-
10
- Conor McGregor
- "The Notorious"
- 22-6-0
-
Ah, Conor. The million-dollar mouth. He proved his skills in the UFC and made an insane amount of money for it. He's talented, his trash talk game is masterclass, and he's got that "it" factor that really makes it exciting when he fights.
-

- Nate Diaz
- 21-13-0
-
Nate's a gangster. His whole attitude is "**** you, ************." His punches in bunches strategy works, his bjj game is great, and every time he opens his mouth in front of a mic it's a historic moment. Nate and Nick are both great, but Nate gets a higher spot for his finish over McGregor.

12
- Amanda Nunes
- "The Lioness" | 23-5-0
-
The true wmma killer. She's beaten them all. Destroyer of both Rousey and Cyborg, it seems like there's nobody who can withstand the punishment that Nunes dishes out. I love watching her take out every chick put in front of her.
-
13
- Demian Maia
- 28-11-0
-
Pure bjj. Demian Maia is to bjj as Khabib is to sambo. Maia is mediocre on the feet but when he gets it to the mat it's over. I love watching him grapple and hunt for submissions.

14
- Robbie Lawler
- "Ruthless" | 30-16-0, 1 NC
-
Lawler is the human embodiment of what a boogeyman would be. He delights in pain, he can take it and dish it out, and his fights are always wars.
-

- Nick Diaz
- 26-10-0, 2 NC
-
The second Diaz brother. A true gangster. Diaz has been in some incredible fights. He Omoplata'd Gomi in PRIDE, he fought the single best one-round fight against Paul Daley in Strikeforce, and he had a great career in the UFC. He made a fortune from fighting Anderson Silva and I'm just happy that I got to watch him fight.
