I don't know many fighters who have fought the same quality of opponents that Henderson has. Being the only fighter to hold titles in two different weight classes simultaneously is something that will be hard to match.3. Rich FranklinBefore Silva came along, Franklin was the kingpin of the UFC's middleweight division. In fact, Silva is the only man who has defeated Franklin as a middleweight. "Ace" is another fighter who takes on all comers, no questions asked.4. 
Nate MarquardtA seven-time King of Pancrase middleweight champion, Marquardt has made the transition to the UFC very nicely. He was given a shot at Silva for the middleweight championship in July 2007. Unfortunately, he became another victim of "The Spider," but he has worked night and day to earn another crack at Silva.5. Yushin OkamiI may catch a lot of heat for this choice, but Okami's record speaks for itself He is another fighter that is a victim of his own success. Liddell has put many of the top light heavyweight fighters to sleep with his powerful right hand. Before his recent 1-4 slide, Liddell was busy laying fighters to waste. Even though his opponents knew what was coming, they were unable to stop it He has an incredible 16 victories in the UFC.2.

Wanderlei SilvaThe second man on the list with tattoos on his head and bad intentions on his mind, "The Axe Murderer" was ruling the roost over in Japan as Liddell was running the light heavyweight division in the UFC He defended his Pride title for more than five years He was also the 2003 Pride middleweight Grand Prix winner.3. Randy CoutureHas anyone meant more to the UFC than Couture With that being said, he is on this list because of what he accomplished inside the octagon. "The Natural" is a two-time division champion with wins over Liddell, Tito Ortiz and Vitor Belfort.4. Tito OrtizWhen he wasn't too busy running his mouth or trashing his opponents, Ortiz was in the cage winning fights. He defended the UFC light heavyweight title on five separate occasions. His fights were always exciting, and Ortiz can be credited for helping raise the fighters' salaries.5. Quinton "Rampage" JacksonAnyone who holds two victories over the top light heavyweight fighter of the decade deserves a spot on this list.
