#1 Kazushi Sakuraba
Kazushi Sakuraba has only fought twice under the UFC banner but considering how influential and iconic he was, it will not be fair to leave him out of this list.
Sakuraba won the UFC Ultimate Japan Heavyweight tournament in the third fight of his career and then went on to become a historic figure in Pride.
He fought some memorable battles with members of the Gracie family and due to his impressive performances against them; he was nicknamed the ‘Gracie Killer’. He secured wins over Royler Gracie, Renzo Gracie, Ryan Gracie and Royce Gracie. His first fight with Royce Gracie was an epic as it lasted 90 minutes and ended in favour of Sakuraba after Royce was unable to continue.
A member of the UFC Hall of Fame, Sakuraba holds a professional record of 26-17 to his name.
