2. Randy Couture
If there was a Mt. Rushmore of MMA, Randy Couture’s face would be up there. One of the most important fighters ever to step into a cage, he was the UFC’s first two-weight champion. He’s also the oldest champion in the company’s history at the age of 43.

Couture was stripped of the heavyweight strap in 1998 after deciding to join Vale Tudo in Japan and leave MMA behind. But he would come back to win the heavyweight title as well as the light-heavyweight strap twice. The man is a legend.
