Time changes, people change, and change is definitely something that the UFC has done a bunch of since 1993, when the first UFC was broadcast live to American audiences on pay-per-view.
They initially started off as a showcase of the various martial arts, but were branded as a form of "human cockfighting" and faced the risk of going out of business before a man named Dana White and two brothers named Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta came in and purchased the UFC.
The end result is an Ultimate Fighting Championship league that eventually developed into the company we all know (and some of us knock) now.
Before the reigns of the Anderson Silvas, the Georges St.-Pierres, the Cain Velasquezes and the BJ Penns, Frankie Edgars and even the Mauricio Ruas of today, there were 10 guys who held their own claims as being dominant at a time in which there was really nothing else besides the UFC.
Without further ado, I will now take the distinct pleasure of introducing to you those 10 men.
