This is the final installment of the somewhat controversial Greatest MMA Fighters of All-Time piece.   I spent several days researching these fighters and came up with the 33 greatest and no Kimbo Slice did not make this list.

Looking back at it, there were some changes I would make, but I stuck with my initial order.  Also, I appreciate the feedback I have received (positive or negative feedback is welcome).

#33 Shinya Aoki
#32 Don Frye
#31 Pat Miletich
#30 Mark Kerr
#29 Igor Vovchanchyn
#28 Josh Barnett
#27 Sean Sherk
#26 Tim Sylvia
#25 Dan Henderson
#24 Ken Shamrock
#23 Tito Ortiz
#22 Frank Shamrock
#21 Urijah Faber
#20 Mirko Cro Cop
#19 Sakuraba
#18 Matt Hughes
#17 Lyoto Machida
#16 Wanderlei Silva
#15 Mauricio Rua
#14 Rickson Gracie
#13 Dan Severn
#12 Takanori Gomi
#11 Bas Rutten
#10 Mark Coleman
#9 BJ Penn
#8 Randy Couture
#7 Quinton Jackson
#6 Georges St. Pierre
