Let's say 3 fighters, one for striking, one for wrestling/grappling, one for BJJ

Machida for striking

Matt Hughes for wrestling

And Sakuraba as the king of subs

Anderson Silva for striking
Jon Jones because his wrestling is tailor-made for MMA
Maia or Royce for BJJ
 
You have to update your list :)

Machida's striking style is pretty boring sometimes. Too much waiting, too long of periods without doing anything just circling. This shit gets boring way too quick for casual fans.

If you want a karate guys to represent the striking you have Thompson right now. Conor if you want someone to polarize the crowds.

For the grappling and subs - Werdum.

For the wrestling probably JJ, DC, for MMA wrestling GSP obviously.
 
Wonderboy or Cruz for striking
Jones for wrestling
Joe Lauzon for submissions
 
Roy Nelson for Kung Fu

Jones for driving

Mayhem for etiquette
 
Striking - James Toney

Wrestling - CM Punk

Grappling - Myles Jury with Jury jitsu
 
Diaz for his humble attitude

Rumble for his caring demeanour

Jones for his devout christian faith.

Mayhem Miller for his people skills.
 
I would show them RDA.

He's tenacious, he's a violent striker, he can take you down, he can grapple you, he can submit you, he can knock you out, he can dominate you to a decision, and has a no nonsense style that everyone can relate to.

Later on in their MMA experience I would introduce the more unique styles like Anderson or Maia.

Wand for striking due to incredibly fan friendly fights.

Probably go with Royce for BJJ.
 
GSP for Perfect timing.
Florian for most wasted title shots
Cain for just doing what he's doing now.
 
Assumedly with current fighters as it has to be someone who can fight now...
