Honorable shout outs to JDS, Arona, Werdum and Shogun, they almost made the list for me
 
Quarter Finals:

Jones vs GSP
Fedor vs Mighty Mouse
Anderson vs Dan Severn
Shogun vs Sean Sherk

We have to keep the big weight differences in many fights as thats what made UFC more fun at that time.
 
The goal was to have fighters from different styles. I will go with the following:
- Alexander Kareline (Greco)
- Mike Tyson (Boxing)

- Ernesto Hoost (Kickboxing)
- Rickson Gracie (BJJ)

- Baumgartner (Freestyle)
- Shamrock (Shooto)

- Emelianenko (Sambo)
- David Douillet (Judo)
 
In their primes

Fedor vs Anderson Silva
Shogun vs DC

Poatan vs Couture
GSP vs Jones

Aldo vs Mighty Mouse
Khabib vs BJ Penn

Izzy vs Robbie Lawler
Hendo vs Ngannou
