Top Ten MMA Fighters Updated

I posted this online a long time ago, but now that I got my full blog up I figured I'd post it again, with a few updates. This is my top ten MMA fighters. The list stayed the same, but some of the bio stuff was out of date. Comments if you would please.
Also receiving votes: Georges St. Pierre, Quinton Jackson, Mauricio Rua, BJ Penn, Takanori Gomi, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Tito Ortiz
Honorable Mention: Randy Couture (18-10, HW & LH)-Captain America, The Natural, and one of the most loved athletes of all time. His record of 18-10 may not be the most impressive on the outset, but his titles include winning the UFC 13 HW tournament, titles in the UFC Heavyweight & Light Heavyweight divisions (though not concurrently) and epic trilogies with Vitor Belfort and Chuck Liddell. He is also the fourth UFC Hall of Famer and the only member to be inducted on a free UFC event (namely, the TUF 3 Finale).
10. Royce Gracie (14-3-3, WW)-While probablly not as proficient in Jiu-Jitsu as his brothers Rickson (8-0 in MMA but never fought after 2000) and Renzo (13-7 MMA), Royce was the Gracie entry in the first UFC tournament. He went through that tournament like a hot knife through butter, as well as UFC 2 & 4 (he had to quit at UFC 3 because of an injury sustained in his war with Kimo). Therefore he, not his brothers, is on this list because of those tournament wins and how he revolutionized the thinking of martial arts afectionados everywhere who thought striking would never be defeated by grappling. He was the first UFC Hall of Famer ever elected.
9. Mirko Filipovic (27-7, HW)-Better known as Mirko Cro Cop (so named because of his time in the Croatian Special Forces), his devastating kicks led him to become one of the most feared fighters in PRIDE history and the winner of the 2006 PRIDE Open Weight Grand Prix. However, his dominance in the ring has not translated to dominance in the cage, only going 4-3 in the UFC.
8. Mark Coleman (16-10, HW, LH)-With a record less impressive than The Natural and a loss to Captain America, many of you are probably wondering why they aren't switched. I have four words for you: PRIDE 2000 Grand Prix. The Hammer, also a UFC Hall of Famer, won four straight matches at that tournament, including defeating Akira Shoji, Kazuyuki Fujita, and Igor Vovchanchyn on one night to win the belt. He also was the first UFC Heavyweight Champion and won the UFC 10 & 11 tournaments.
7. Wanderlei Silva (33-10-1-1, LH, MW)-By defenses, The Axe Murderer is the most dominant champion in PRIDE history, with four. including fights against Ricardo Arona and Quinton Jackson. From the same Chute Boxe Academy that produced Shogun Rua and Anderson Silva, Wanderlei, in his prime, posessed some of the best Muay Thai in the sport and was one of the most feared fighters ever.
6. Fedor Emelianenko (32-2-0-1, HW) Inspiring a bigger fanbase than most fighters will ever dare to dream about, The Last Emperor has made and broken promotions. His one universally accepted flaw is his killer instinct that got him caught by Fabricio Werdum, a top jiu-jitsu heavyweight, with a triangle choke at their fight in June 2010. Many speculate that he will go to the UFC after his Strikeforce contract ends. As of right now, he is the only member of this list to have never fought for the UFC.
5. Chuck Liddell (21-8, LH)-The Iceman defended his UFC Light Heavyweight title four times against Randy Couture (twice), Jeremy Horn (an ultra-Ironman fighter with over 100 pro fights), and Renato "Babalu" Sobral. Other notable wins have come against Pele, Jeff Monson, Tito Ortiz, and Alistair Overeem. However, his main reason for being on this list is because his exciting style has electrified fans the world over. It can definitely be argued that Chuck was the central person behind the UFC PPV boom of 2006, and the number two reason behind The Ultimate Fighter.
4. Dan Henderson (25-8, MW, LH)-In all major MMA promotions, only one fighter has held two titles at the same time in different divisions, and that man is Hendo. He is the only 185 champion PRIDE ever had, and at PRIDE 33, in a rematch against Wanderlei Silva, he knocked Silva cold to win his 205 title. While he was unable to translate that title success into the UFC, losing both titles in unification fights to Quinton Jackson and Anderson Silva, he had success inside the Octagon, including the knockout of the year at UFC 100 against Michael Bisping.
3. Kazushi Sakuraba (26-13-1-2, MW) One of the legends of PRIDE, The Gracie Hunter, so named because of his wins over Renzo, Royler, Royce, and Ryan, is one of the biggest fixtures of Japanese MMA. Also known as The IQ Wrestler because of his extremely technical grappling, Sakuraba won the UFC Ultimate Japan tournament and fought 27 times in PRIDE. His biggest wins have been over the four aforementioned Gracies, Guy Mezger, and Quinton Jackson.
2. Matt Hughes (44-7, WW) He is the most dominant champion in UFC history, with ten successful title victories over two reigns. With more than 50 fights under his belt, he is a true veteran of the sport. He is also a ground specialist who, along with the aforementioned Mark Coleman, are generally considered the founding fathers of ground-and-pound. His most notable victories came against Georges St. Pierre, BJ Penn, and Royce Gracie.
And the greatest MMA fighter of all time is...
1. Anderson Silva (27-5, WW, MW, LH) The Spider has the most consecutive UFC wins and UFC title defenses, as well as some of the best Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu in the sport. He has titles in Cage Rage, Shooto, and of course the UFC. While only going 3-2 in PRIDE, both losses were by submission due to going in for the kill too early. His win list is a veritable "who's who" of MMA, and he has never shirked a fight. After his win over Chael Sonnen at UFC 117, he has come closer to cleaning out a division than anyone before him.
God bless,
