   Kenny Florian

   "KenFlo"

   14-6-0

   Kenny Florian fought for the UFC for six years (2005-2011) and while he did fight for three UFC Championships (Lightweight x2 & featherweight) his appearances in those fights looked nothing close to his fights against Joe Stevenson & Roger Huerta. Florian retired from MMA in 2011 boasting a 12-5 record inside the octagon.

   Urijah Faber

   "The California Kid"

   35-11-0

   You put anyone in the top 10 against Faber (excluding title holders) and he will not disappoint you, you put Faber in a fight against a champion and he will however disappoint you. No fighter wants to be known as the person to loose the most championship fights in the UFC (he has lost 7) and never win the title e.g. Randy Couture who has lost 6 championship fights but has enjoyed the most championship reigns in the UFC (5). 8 of Faber's 9 losses have been in championship fights excluding his recent loss to Frankie Edgar which is very disappointing to say the least.

   Jon Fitch

   32-8-2, 1 NC

   The Godfather of Lay & Pray, The King of Grind, Jon Fitch has an amazing 14-3-1 UFC record and has beat some of the finest the UFC has to offer including Brock Larson, Akihiro Gono & Chris Wilson by simply laying on top of them and throwing a few stockton slaps from time to time to avoid being stood up by the referee. Fitch was on an 8 fight win streak completely domination most of the fighters who were put in front of him until he faced GSP in which we saw 25 minutes of spooning. Fitch was never able to get his UFC career back on track after the loss as he was released by the UFC after a loss to Demian Maia.
   

4. 4

   

   Dan Henderson

   "Hendo"

   32-15-0

   Arguably one of the greatest fighters in mixed martial arts history, Dan Henderson has proven time and time again he is one tough SOB and holds the distinction of being one of only two fighters to win a PRIDE Tournament & UFC Tournament as-well as being the oldest fighter to win a championship in Strikeforce history. Throughout his legendary career he has beat fighters including Mauricio Rua (x2), Minotauro Nogueira, Vitor Belfort, Wanderlei Silva, Hector Lombard, Carlos Newton etc. Henderson's UFC career has come to mixed reviews as he has faced some of the companies biggest names however in these fights in seems to be on the loosing end much more then the winning end. He will for sure be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in the near future.
   

5. 5

   

   Pedro Rizzo

   "The Rock"

   20-11-0

   In his 5 year run with the organization, Pedro "The Rock" Rizzo was a forced to be reckon with defeating fighters such as Dan Severn, Josh Barnett, Ricco Rodriguez, Mark Coleman & Andrei Arlovski however was unable to put his skills to the table in championship fights against Randy Couture & Kevin Randleman. While Rizzo's counter striking style worked against the companies top contenders it failed to work in all of his 3 championship fights.
   

6. 6

   

   Diego Sanchez

   "Nightmare"

   30-14-0

   While he is now known for winning controversial decisions against mid tier fighters nowadays, many years ago Diego Sanchez was one of the most feared fighters in the UFC with his prime being his time in the companies welterweight division (2005-2009) where he beat fighters such as Karo Parisyan, Joe Riggs, Nick Diaz & Kenny Florian but after 2 consecutive losses to Josh Koscheck and Jon "Godfather of LnP" Fitch he moved down to lightweight where every single one of his fights looked like 2 grown men attacking each other while high on various narcotics. While he did fight BJ Penn for the Lightweight championship, he was completely torn apart by Penn loosing a Doctor Stoppage. Since the change in divisions, wins against Joe Stevenson & Clay Guida are the only fights which he has won that have not been shrouded in controversy.

   Karo Parisyan

   "The Heat"

   24-12-0, 1 NC

   In the early Zuffa days, Audiences were finally moving on from scening men who looked like drunken bar brawlers and fought like the inflatable men you see outside used car dealerships (Tank Abbott & Scott Ferrozzo) too watching the birth of full on mixed martial artists, cue Karo Parisyan. Karo was the one to watch between 2003-2007 as he showed how dominant Judo can be in mixed martial arts competition which he used to beat fighters such as Nick Diaz, Matt Serra, Chris Lytle, Josh Burkman & Dong Hyun Kim. During his reign of terror his only two losses were to George St Pierre & Diego Sanchez both coming by way of decisions. However his story does not have a happy ending as he went 3-2 (1) after his fight with Sanchez and was released by the UFC after testing positive for painkillers against Dong Hyun Kim. He was given a second life by the company but was defeated by the sexiest man to ever wear speedos into the Octagon, Dennis Hallman. Parisyan is now dabbling in Bellator MMA
