   Kelvin Kuo-USA TODAY Sports
   These days, UFC President Dana White may offer few superlatives when describing Randy Couture. During "The Natural's" lengthy and storied UFC career, however, White rarely mentioned a foul word of the former Oklahoma State University wrestler.
   

2. 2

   

   Matt Hughes

   45-9-0

3. 3

   

   Chuck Liddell

   "The Iceman"

4. 4

   

   Tito Ortiz

   "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy"

   In the history of the weight class, only 205-pound virtuoso Jon Jones has matched the extraordinary feats of Tito Ortiz.
   

5. 5

   

   Dan Henderson

   "Hendo"

   32-15-0

   Although he's one of two members of this countdown who've yet to garner a UFC title, two-time Olympic wrestler Dan Henderson (Greco-Roman) has accomplished more than enough to pluck the No. 5 spot on this list.
   

6. 6

   

   Frankie Edgar

   "The Answer"

   24-11-1

   Fans and pundits adore Frankie Edgar, and that's because the former NCAA Division I All-American wrestler always delivers in terms of excitement
   

7. 7

   

   Cain Velasquez

   14-3-0

   When he finished his first four fights via first-round TKO, it was evident that Velasquez was destined to make the move from the NCAA mats to the Octagon.
   

8. 8

   

   Brock Lesnar

   5-3-0, 1 NC

   Brock Lesnar may have taken up fighting for a paycheck, but that didn't diminish the fact that the former University of Minnesota wrestler belonged in the Octagon.

   Chris Weidman

   "The All-American"

   16-7-0

   Several experts endorsed Weidman as the man to knock off former pound-for-pound king Silva before UFC 162, but that's primarily because of the All-American's superb wrestling chops.

    Josh Koscheck

    "Kos"

    17-11-0

    One of just two men on this countdown who never won UFC gold, former Edinboro University standout wrestler Josh Koscheck made the cut because he owns 15 wins in the UFC.

    Rashad Evans

    "Suga"  |  20-8-1

    Rashad Evans didn't make it to the top of the podium much as a wrestler at Michigan State University. Evans did, however, use what he learned as a Spartan to become a UFC light heavyweight champ.
