[volcom5]

I picked Shogun, Henderson and Sakuraba.

Mousasi and Texeira are honorable mentions.
Mousasi is one of the more underrated fighters ever
Texeira seems like a gentleman outside of the cage and Im still sick on how the Brazilians treated him in his retirement, he should’ve retired in the states.

 

[balkanbomber85]

Mirko CroCop will always remain a legend!

The dude will always be mentioned and his highlights and reputation will always be carried on. Way more than from some guys who have hold the real champion belts in their divisions.

No Nog (who beat CC and was ufc champ), no Cain, no Lesnar, no Timmeh, and so on will ever come close to the legendary status Mr Right Leg Hospital, Left Leg Cemetary has!


The other ones I chose are Saku and HBomb

 

[Tsuli]

This is a tough draw. Having to leave out one of Shogun, Cro Cop, Hendo and Saku is painful. Honourable mention to Moussasi.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

GSP isn’t on your list?

 

[mkess101]

This was the toughest group so far. I went Maia, Glover, Cro Cop but leaving out Sakuraba feels dirty. Hell, all these guys deserve to be clicked.

 

[cheesus]

Cro Cop, Saku & Hendo

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

GSP isn’t on your list?

He's in the final bracket.

 

[shorinryu86]

Always be a Saku fan.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Saku

Hendo

Shogun/Glover

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Cro Cop

Glover

Shogun

 

[Bouboumaster]

Sakuraba
Hendo
Franklin

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

This one is a lot easier than the last one.

I think 4 stand out above the field, and among those 4, Cro Cop is pretty easily a half step behind.

Easily Hendo, Sakuraba and Shogun here IMO.

 

[Spam On Rye]

Hendo
Glover
Saku

Was tough to whiddle it down here.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Glover imo is the guy.

Saku for old time sake,

Dan Henderson

 

[Ironheart]

I picked Shogun, Henderson and Sakuraba.

Mousasi and Texeira are honorable mentions.
Mousasi is one of the more underrated fighters ever
Texeira seems like a gentleman outside of the cage and Im still sick on how the Brazilians treated him in his retirement, he should’ve retired in the states.

Exact same feelings and votes.

 

[Tweak896]

Cro Cop: Legendary TDD and put the kickboxer build on the mma map.
Hendo: Fought everyone across multiple weights MW-HW and was competitive old.
Sakuraba: Ridiculous weight disparity and legendary heart.


I'm sure there's a few other combinations, but this is why I chose mine

 

[Colemanstove]

Saku, Glover & Shogun.
Hendo or CroCrop could swap with Glover. It's a hard one.

 

[r-harper-1]

Hendo , Shogun and Sakuraba

I feel everyone on this list is a good choice

 

[STAY GOLD]

I voted for Shogun, Cro Cop and Saku, but it felt odd leaving out Hendo.
