No. 6: Jake Shields
Jake Shields had a rocky start to his UFC career against Martin Kampmann at UFC 121. Visibly tired, he survived the dangerous striking of the Danish-kickboxer and pulled out a controversial split-decision win.
Shields went on a 15-fight win streak including wins over Dan Henderson, Jason Miller, Robbie Lawler and Paul Daley before losing to UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre over five-rounds.
He survived the power of Lawler, Daley and took a massive "h-bomb" from Henderson in the opening minute of their fight. It's a punch that puts middleweights and light-heavyweights to sleep, but Shields survived and won a decision over the two-time Pride Fighting Champion.
