Mixed Martial Arts has become one of the hottest sports in the world, one that I think should be put into the olympics. The sport never wouldve been lifted if it werent for these fighters. The thing is though... I would NEVER want to fight against one of these guys in my life.

Ortiz debuted at UFC 13 in 1997. He then went on to fight at UFC 18 winning, and UFC 19 also winning by TKO. He became a champion in the light heavyweight division at UFC 25 vs Wanderlei Silva. Tito fought in many big fights and stayed in the top 10 in the world for most of his carreer. He announced his retirement before losing to Lyoto Machida at UFC 84

Matt Hughes currently sits number 3 in the world MMA rankings in the welterweight division, but he didnt get there doing nothing. He beat Frank Trigg II at UFC 52 in one of the best fights I've seen. Hughes did however lose to Thiago Alves at UFC 85. He's still one of the best and one of my favorite fighters.

BJ Penn is one of the most versatile fighters ever to fight. He has incredible flexibility and right now I cant choose whether he should be a lightweight or welterweight. He trains harder than any fighter and it all pays off. He beat Joe Stephenson at UFC 80 in Janurary and beat Sean Sherk at UFC 84 also nicknamed ill will for the trash talk prior to the fight.

Kimbo is a joke and will be destroyed. List needs some work but not TOO rediculous. Faber hasnt fought any of the Top UFC guys so we'll see about him.

SILVA OVER FEDOR? I DONT THINK SO. FEDOR NEVER LOST(LEGALY), IN ANY ORGANIZATION, HE NEVER DID A MISTAKE IN A FIGHT. SILVA LOST A FEW TIMES IN PRIDE. ESPECIALY THAT FLYING HEEL HOOK FROM ChonanRyo Chonan, OWNED HIM.

This is b.s...Where is Sakuraba or Royce Gracie. How about Wanderlai Silva? U obviously are an uneducated MMA observer.

The question was who's the best of all time, not who's the best that only Americans know. I have been watching MMA for a while, this is my observation. Greatest MMA fighters in history 1. Kazushi Sakuraba 2. Royce Gracie 3. Fedor Emelianenko 4. Wanderlai Silva 5. Randy Couture 6. Antonio Rogerio Noguiera 7. Matt Hughes 8. Mirko Cro Cop Flipovic 9. Chuck Lidell 10. BJ Penn
