The UFC 100: The Teenagers

on before a motorcycle accident put him on the sidelines. While he struggled initially upon his return, all he's done of late is rattle off three straight wins, including submitting the genetic freak that is Brock Lesnar and being the first person in 38 fights to KO Nogueira. Show the man some respect.

12. BJ Penn
UFC Record: 9-4-1
Victories Over: Matt Hughes, Jens Pulver, Sean Sherk

This one might make some, including Sarah Kaufman, very mad. From where I stand, Penn has the ability to become a Top 10, even a Top 5 fighter on this list in the next few years, but does he have the desire? The interesting thing to me is that cleaning out the lightweight division, which is full of new challengers, would propel Penn into the Top 10 easily and get him the respect he feels he deserves. Let your actions speak for you, Baby Jay.

11. Frank Shamrock
UFC Record: 5-0
Victories Over: Tito Ortiz, Jeremy Horn, Igor Zinoviev

What can you say about the first ever UFC Light Heavyweight champ? He literally beat everyone the UFC ever put before him, including tough challenges in Horn and Ortiz, slammed Igor Zinoviev into retirement and walked away with a fist-full of wins against a goose egg in the loss department. The only thing that I would say is missing is a monster blowout between him and "his brother" Ken. That would have been awesome. Now it would just be ugly.

Only ten names remain and we all know who they are.
But what order will they come out in?
Who will be in the coveted No. 1 spot?

Patience my children, patience.

The UFC 100: 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's.
