#57 - Nick Diaz



http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Nick-Diaz-2831

A veteran of Pride, Strikeforce, and the UFC, Nick Diaz has been around the block a few times. The outspoken Diaz was a long time Strikeforce champion and is currently one of the most popular fighters in the world. He has a career record of 26-9-1, with wins over BJ Penn, Frank Shamrock, Hayato Sakurai, Paul Daley, and Robbie Lawler.

with wins over BJ Penn, Frank Shamrock, Hayato Sakurai, Paul Daley, and Robbie Lawler.

With Penn at 170 and old Shamrock, that doesn't seem like a particularly impressive list.

With Penn at 170 and old Shamrock, that doesn't seem like a particularly impressive list.

Not as exciting a list as you would expect, though he does also have wins over Paul Daley, Chris Lytle, Josh Neer, Scott Smith, Drew Fickett, Gleison Tibau, Marius Zaromskis, and KJ Noons. So he has good volume. He also had a win over Takanori Gomi changed to a no contest due to weed.

Diaz's resume actually looks better than I thought it would, especially if you consider the Gomi win.

#56 - Igor Vovchanchyn

One of the early stars of Pride, Ukrainian hard hitting Heavyweight Igor Vovchanchyn was a finalist in the Pride 2000 Grand Prix and at one point had a 37 fight unbeaten streak. His career record is 55-10-1, with wins over Yuki Kondo, Mark Kerr, Gary Goodridge twice, and Kazushi Sakaraba.

I thought the Kerr win was overturned. Maybe they fought again.

[SDM]

So nasty.

Spoiler:

They fought at Pride 7 and Pride 12.

#55 - Jens "Little Evil" Pulver



http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Jens-Pulver-228

Former UFC Lightweight champion and WEC Featherweight title contender, Jens Pulver is one of the all time great small fighters in MMA. He has a career record of 27-17, but many of those losses can be attributed to hanging around past his prime. His career UFC record is 6-2, and he holds career victories over BJ Penn, Cub Swanson, Dennis Hallman, Caol Uno, and Joe Stevenson.

Standout UFC, Pride, and Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Fabricio Werdum is among the best BJJ players in the history of the division. He holds a career record of 16-5, with wins over Fedor Emelianenko, Roy Nelson, Antonio Silva, Alistair Overeem, and Gabriel Gonzaga twice.

#51 - Renan Barao



http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Renan-Barao-23156

Former WEC standout and current UFC interim Bantamweight champion, Renan Barao has a crazy 30-1 record, including a 7-0 record in the WEC and UFC combined. Barao has won 30 straight fights since losing his first fight ever. He holds career wins over Urijah Faber, Michael McDonald, Scott Jorgensen, and Brad Pickett.

[Cammo101]

And we are officially halfway through.

#51 - Renan Barao

Former WEC standout and current UFC interim Bantamweight champion, Renan Barao has a crazy 30-1 record, including a 7-0 record in the WEC and UFC combined. Barao has won 30 straight fights since losing his first fight ever. He holds career wins over Urijah Faber, Michael McDonald, Scott Jorgensen, and Brad Pickett.

So what's stopping him from being ranked higher? Relative lack of big org experience?

The majority of his wins are over people you and I have never heard of. Outside of those 4 victories listed, his next biggest win is over Chris Cariaso. He needs more big fight wins and general tougher opposition. Also, taking that interim term off his title would help too.

#50 - Gegard Mousasi



http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Gegard-Mousasi-7466

A timely entry to the list (as he fights tomorrow), Gegard Mousasi is a former Dream Light Heavyweight and Middleweight champion as well as the former Strikeforce Light Heavyweight champion. He has a career record of 33-3-2, with wins over Mark Hunt, Jacare Souza, Babalu Sobral, and Hector Lombard. A good run in the stacked UFC Light Heavyweight division can really send Mousasi flying up this list.

[REDDzone]

I know I'm usually the guy who advocates guys not cutting so much weight, but I still think Mousasi should be at middleweight. Look at that picture. He wouldn't be big at all at mw. On the flip side, he'd look two weight classes smaller than Rampage or Texeira or someone.
