My Top 5 UFC Fighters Broke Down Boundaries.
Intro.
People who push boundaries normally go on to change the way we look at industries, whether it's in Pro Wrestling. MMA, or in everyday life, we have it in ourselfs to change everything around us, so this gave me the idea. Which UFC Fighters changed their own paths, and broke down boundaries, well this is my top 5 list.
5 Randy Couture.
This Man is one of my sporting Icons. He didn't take up MMA, until he was in his late 30's, and became a UFC Champion at the age of 39, and when he was in his 40's he became the promotions World Heavyweight Champion. Even though this came with it's own set of legal problems surrounding his contract, and his payments, he proved that age is nothing but a number.
4. Matt Hamill.
This man was the first Def fighter to ever grace the octagon. He's an inspiration to the def community in my opinion, because you can do anything if you set your mind to something, and well Matt Hamill did just that.
3 Tito Ortiz.
From growing up with Drug addict parents, to witnessing his best friend get killed in a gang shooting. He's the definition of turning your life around. He would go on to become the UFC Middleweight Champion.
2 Michael Bisping.
The Count. The myth. The legend, and a man who helped put MMA in the UK on the map, to becoming the UFC Middleweight Champion, and the first ever British Champion. He wasn't just a industry changer, he was a game changer, and the perfect example of you can do anything when you put your mind to it.
1 Royce Gracie.
The reason this man is at the top of my list is because. Were would the sport be without him.
