UFC 200: Top 200 UFC fighters of all-time
By Brandon Crespo
No. 50-46
50. Don Frye
A UFC Hall of Famer, The Predator is a legend of the sport. His first UFC appearance was back in 1996 at UFC 8. In the same night, he beat Thomas Ramirez, Sam Adkins and Gary Goodridge. He went on to compete in many other UFC and Pride events. Perhaps his most memorable bout was the war against Yoshihiro Takayama.
49. Tim Sylvia
Largely considered one of the best heavyweights in the world in his prime, Tim Sylvia was the UFC heavyweight champion, and beat fighters like Wesley Correira, Ricco Rodriguez and Gan McGee. After losing his belt to Frank Mir, he still picked up great wins over Andrei Arlovski and Brandon Vera.
48. Anthony Pettis
The last WEC lightweight champion before the promotion merged with the UFC, Anthony Pettis always brought creativity to the cage. Fans will never forget his showtime kick against Ben Henderson. He has notable wins against Donald Cerrone and Gilbert Melendez.
47. Forrest Griffin
Forrest Griffin is one of the most popular fighters in UFC history. In The Ultimate Fighter season one finale, he went to war with Stephan Bonnar in a fight that put the UFC on the map and brought in a more casual audience. He went on to find success in the organization, eventually capturing the light heavyweight title against Rampage Jackson.
46. Miguel Torres
When you speak of the lighter weight classes, Miguel Torres always comes to mind. Before losing the title to Brian Bowles in the WEC, he only lost one fight in 39 bouts. From his striking to his submission game, he was able to put it all together to become one of the best bantamweights of all time.
