Just giving my top 3:
GSP: Some may say that GSP's knockout loss to Serra caused him to start using a boring 'conservative' style. Such people must not have watched parisyan/gsp, since if GSP has ever lnp'ed in a fight, that was the one. Regardless, since the Serra loss, GSP has cared more about his legacy than ever, and has realized how easily it can all be taken away.
Korean Zombie: KZ kind of bought into his own hype after the Garcia loss, which was effectively a moral victory. Afterwards, he would fight George Roop, and decided to slug it out again. Things ended in brutal fashion, with KZ ending up in the hospital, where he vowed to never slug it out again. He would fight much more conservatively against Garcia in the rematch, and is now a top contender fighting a lot more intelligently -- although no less entertainingly.
Brian Stann: Came to the WEC as a slugger, and took the title from Cantwell. He would slug it out in their rematch, and this time it was him ending up unconscious. In their rubber match, Stann introduced a new, much more conservative style, which he has kept ever since -- although it sure as hell hasn't prevented the knockouts from racking up.
