#3 Fabricio Werdum
What makes Fabricio Werdum an anomaly is the fact that despite being an incredible striker, he is the best grappler in the heavyweight division, bar none. The Brazilian is one of the most well-rounded fighters in the history of MMA as evidenced by the sheer variety in his finishes.
The former heavyweight champion has an enviable 9-3 record in the UFC including an incredible fight against Cain Velasquez where he choked out one of the biggest names in the business to win the Heavyweight Championship.
Despite losing the title to Stipe Miocic at UFC 198, he went straight back to being #1 in the heavyweight contender ranking after taking out Travis Browne at UFC 203. With his deadly combination of striking and grappling, don’t be too surprised if the 39-year-old is on top of the heavyweight division again soon.
