I think this might've have been done already due to obviousness of the idea but I wanted to present my Rushmore 4.

Sakuraba
Fedor
Frank Shamrock
Anderson Silva
 
I'd agree more or less but I'm not a fan of Frank Shamrock being there, excellent fighter in the early days, very well rounded but he was not the first well rounded fighter like a lot of people believe.

If Frank is there based on being well rounded early in the sport, Marco Ruas should take his place, guy was a total beast and the Gracies ducked him like the plague. He had ruthless standup and a solid ground game to back it up (his sub of Keith Hackney was awesome).

I'd wish he had more big fights but I always liked the guy a lot back then...
 
Sakuraba - star of japan, beat the gracies

Fedor - decade without a loss

Anderson - king of the cage in every sense of the word

Royce - started it all

There are a bunch of guys that I'd love to put on there that I can't though. Shamrock brothers, Matt Hughes, Wanderlei, Chuck, Minotauro, Couture, etc. all have their place in the MMA Hall of Fame.

I don't know who the other two guys would be but these two would be there for sure...
 
Cain, JDS, Jones, Pettis
