1. 1

   

   Matt Serra

   "The Terror"

   11-7-0

   Surprised? I don't blame you. But hear me out before you smash your monitor.
   
   Matt Serra did a lot for the UFC that he doesn't seem to get credit for. Let's take a look at Matt Serra's relationship with the UFC.
   
   Serra has an 11-year career fighting exclusively for the UFC.
   
   Serra won Season 4 of The Ultimate Fighter.
   
   Serra showed the world that Ultimate Fighter stars can compete with the best when he became the first TUF fighter to become UFC champion.
   
   Serra followed it up by becoming the first TUF cast member to go from contestant to coach. Other popular stars would follow suit, as Forrest Griffin, Rashad Evans, Josh Koscheck and Michael Bisping (twice) would follow in his footsteps.
   
   Serra shares the award for combined significant strikes landed in a fight for his UFC 119 performance against Chris Lytle.
   
   Serra is the only man to knock out Georges St. Pierre, the greatest welterweight in UFC history.
   
   Serra continues to contribute to the success of the UFC as he trains and coaches middleweight prospects Chris Weidman and Costa Philippou.
   
   Serra is charismatic, likable and has an incredible fan base.
   

2. 2

   

   Brock Lesnar

   5-3-0, 1 NC

   Randy Couture thinks Brock Lesnar should be in the Hall of Fame. Who am I to argue with a five-time UFC champion?
   

3. 3

   

   Forrest Griffin

   19-7-0

   The UFC was a well known entity when The Ultimate Fighter began to air. In fact, ultra-popular sitcom Friends featured a storyline where a character would train to compete in the UFC and eventually winds up in a body cast from the waist up. The sport was described as "totally real and totally brutal."
   

4. 4

   

   Georges St-Pierre

   "Rush"

   26-2-0

   It's hard to believe that Georges St. Pierre has done battle in the Octagon a whopping 18 times.
   

5. 5

   

   BJ Penn

   "The Prodigy"

   16-14-2

   Despite his tendency to break down the barriers of weight classes, wins over Takanormi Gomi, Sean Sherk, Kenny Florian and Jens Pulver are enough to suggest that BJ Penn will likely go down as the best lightweight of all time.
   

6. 6

   

   Rich Franklin

   "Ace"

   29-7-0, 1 NC

   Rich Franklin is quite possibly the second best Middleweight in the history of the sport. Translation: Rich Franklin lost twice to the most dominant fighter of all time and it sent him fighting in catchweight contests if he was lucky enough to not fight the monsters at Light-Heavyweight
   

7. 7

   

   Anderson Silva

   "The Spider"

   34-11-0, 1 NC

   Longest winning streak in UFC history? Check
   

8. 8

   

   Don Frye

   "The Predator"

   20-9-1, 1 NC

   Don Frye is often left out of Hall of Fame discussions, and it is quite disturbing.
   

9. 9

   

   Frank Shamrock

   "The Legend"

   23-10-2

   Frank Shamrock should have been a member of the initial class to be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame.
