Anderson Silva

You could say he is the most dominate fighter in UFC history. In his 7 fights in the UFC he has only been in the octagon for about 30 minuets. He has finished all his fights and even more impressive is that they were all finished before the end of the 2nd round.

Anderson took the middle weight title from Rich Franklin at UFC 64 in 2006, since then he has defended his title 3 times against Nate Marquardt, a 2nd right against Franklin and former PRIDE light heavy weight and middle weight champion Dan Henderson.

2 weeks ago Silva made a statement to all fighters in the light heavy weight division, when he moved up in weight and took on James “The Sandman” Irvin knocking him out at 1:01 of the very first round. Anderson could be the first person in UFC history to hold two different belts in two weight division, and he could very well go down as the greatest fighter in UFC history.
