El nom Gracie és sinònim de MMA, i això és en gran part en part Royce Gracie, l'home que es considera que s'ha inventat l'esport com el coneixem avui. El guanyador dels primers esdeveniments UFC, Gracie anava a desmantellar diversos oponents en una sola nit, molts dels quals eren molt més grans que ell. Durant molts anys no hi va haver resposta per a la tècnica de Gracie Jiu Jitsu que va portar a una baralla. Avui, és difícil trobar un lluitador de MMA que no ha entrenat en l'art de jiu jitsu. Més recentment, Gracie va derrotar a Ken Shamrock a l'esdeveniment principal del rècord "Bellator 149".

"Stitch" es veu a tot arreu en els esdeveniments esportius de combat, and played a vital role in the recent smash blockbuster, “Creed.”

If there is one legend in attendance who knows a thing or two about kickboxing and MMA, que és Cung Le. Born in Vietnam, Le fought 17 times around the globe and never lost before making the leap from kickboxing to MMA, where he won the Strikeforce middleweight championship. Des d'allà, the San Jose, Califòrnia. – based fighter would continue to expand his recognition past the world of combat sports, starring in multiple feature films. Le remained competitive into his 40’s, finishing Rich Franklin in what was unanimously considered the 2012 knockout of the year.

 

A legend in the heavyweight division, Mark Coleman was the UFC 10 i UFC 11 tournament champion, the promotion’s first Heavyweight Champion, and the Pride Fighting Championships 2000 Open Weight Grand Prix champion.
