Ryan Hall

Ryan Hall might be the most underrated fighter on this list. His grappling skills are beyond and he’s a pretty damn cool guy. He flies under the radar due to his quiet persona, he’s not a trash-talker, which we love. But he’s crazy dangerous and shouldn’t be slept on. He doesn’t fight nearly as often as we’d like him to.

Season: 22

MMA record: 8-1

Kenny Florian

Kenny Florian endeared himself to UFC fans when he appeared on the debut season of The Ultimate Fighter. For there he went on to have a long career and is still in front of UFC fans with his various commentary roles. He may not have ever earned a title but really … does that even matter?

Season: 1

MMA record: 14-6

Rashad Evans

Rashad Evans made a bit of history on his season by being the shortest and the second-lightest of the heavyweight competitors. It didn’t end up mattering and he won his season after defeating Brad Imes. Though his later career wasn’t the greatest, he was great for a long time and that has to count for something.

Season: 2

MMA record: 19-8
