8. Cung Le
The former UFC middleweight is known for having some of the best kicks in the history of MMA. The first high-level mixed martial artist with a background in Sanshou, Le had a superb striking game. It should come as no surprise that his kicks were incredible because he began training Taekwondo at the age of 10.
An IFK Sanda titleholder, Le was also captain of the US Wushu team before entering the world of MMA. He memorably broke Frank Shamrock’s arm after a series of kicks in 2008. Le peaked with Strikeforce and would go 2-2 in the UFC before retiring from MMA.
