MMA's Top 10 Most Wanted

Time for a different style of Top 10 lists. This is a list of the top MMA free agents who still remain unsigned but I would love to see brought to the states whether for the UFC, WEC, Bodog Fight, Strikeforce, or Elite XC.

MMA Top 10

1 Fedor "The Last Emperor" Emelianenko 26-1 The pound for glorious pound best fighter on the planet continues to be a free agent! The guy simply dominates the best in the world and his one loss is from fluke cut which caused a ref stoppage only 17 seconds into the fight. Titles, sambo tournaments, Grand Prix's, the guy just wins. Give him whatever he wants and sign him now! Ideal opponent, God.

2 "The Fireball Kid" Takanori Gomi 27-3 The most dominant Lightweight in the world and he doesn't have a job? Though he can't speak English, the guy is so marketable with his kamikaze style and highlight reel KO's, how could he still be out there? He's exciting, tough, and well rested after a blistering pace in 2006-2007. As the current Pride FC Lightweight Champion and Lightweight Grand Prix Champion, his credentials speak for themselves. Ideal opponents Sean Sherk, or anyone at the top of the Lightweight division.

3 "The Babyface Assassin" Josh Barnett 20-5 One of the few Heavyweights left in the world he hasn't lost to Fedor, and could actually give him a compelling fight. Also a former UFC Heavyweight Champion and a guy who can cut an interview to entertain fans, after he has just shown one of the best all around games in the sport, the guy has all the tools. Me thinks he awaits where Fedor will sign and then will soon follow. Ideal opponent, Fedor!

4 Brock Lesnar 1-0 Say what you will about a former "professional wrestler" turned MMA fighter, the guy is a super-star as well as a highly decorated amateur wrestler. His sheer athleticism brutal power is sure to draw the crowds whether or not he can attain the pinnacle of the sport. Either way its a journey I'd love to see. Ideal opponents Mark Hunt & Josh Barnett

5 Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto 15-1 Sure the guy is a lighter fighter at 145, but the WEC just opened a division at that very weight class. Even so, the guy is so talented with his wrestling and lighting speed strikes, he could easily hang at 155, and probably compete for the title. If you know MMA, you know the talent this "Kid" has. Ideal opponents Uriah Faber & Takanori Gomi.

6 Shinya Aoki 11-2 The "Tobikan Judan" is already feared by the Lightweights in the states. A slick ground game wizard with a sick rubber guard and deadly triangle choke, the ground is death for his opponents. He is ready for anyone. Opponents, anyone.

7 Aleksander Emelianenko 11-3 Fedor's little brother is a power punching Heavyweight with frightening tattoos and scary KO strength. The guy loves and brawl and so do the drunken American fans. Win, win. Ideal opponents any strikers like Paul Buentello or Brandon Vera.

8 Antonio "Lil Nog" Nogueira 12-3 One of the top contenders in any Light Heavyweight class, Rodrigo's twin/smaller brother fought and beat most of the best in Pride FC. Ju Jitsu master, improved striker, and now featuring a chip on his shoulder (thank you Mr. Sokojou), Rogerio is ready for the elite in MMA today. Ideal opponents, rematch with Sokojou & Wanderlei Silva.

9 Joachim "Hellboy" Hansen 15-5-1 The nasty Norwegian with the deadly knee's and blitzkrieg style, Hansen has already delighted fans with his amazing fight versus Jason Ireland and can fit into the 145 or 155 class. Versatility always a plus. Ideal opponents Uriah Faber & Jens Pulver

10 Mark Hunt 5-3 The problem here is can Hunt make the 265 Heavyweight limit since there is no Super-Heavyweight division of note in the states? If he can, the guy has an iron chin, K-1 Champion striking, and didn't do too bad against that guy named Fedor. I would love to see this guy bang with a Tim Sylvia or an Andrei Arlovski.

There it is and American MMA companies make it happen. They all need a home and deserve one as well. Whether to boost the already bloated roster, or establish a company like Bodog/Strikeforce/Elite XC, these guys sell tickets and create some of the best fights of the day!
