The Greatest Champions of the Sport.
The sport of Mixed Martial Arts has seen many great fighters and champions come and go, but only a few have cemented a legacy for the ages. I have selected five fighters, from their own respective divisions, that have not only claimed a title but shaped the sport as well. I did not add the Featherweight or the Bantamweight divisions due to the fact that most casual fans are not aware of their existence, and the divisions are relativity new compared to the five major weight divisions.

The UFC Weight Game
The It is an issue which affects the entire sport of MMA, and yet, everyone from fans to fighters accepts without much question the strange way weight classes are interpreted in the UFC.
Who’s the right “Ace” to defeat “The Joker” Jon Jones?
After just three years of MMA competition, Jon “Bones” Jones became the youngest Champion in UFC’s history.
