Silva
JDS
GSP
Aldo
Thiago Alves (probably shouldn't be anymore but always liked him and the way he fights)
Nice.
I saw Alves fight Matt Hughes live at UFC 85, was an amazing event then the final fight, Alves flying knee I think it was Hughes in the chest and pounding him out. Was a great event. The atmosphere when you're there live is insane.
1. Lyoto Machida
2. Kazushi Sakuraba
3. Nick Diaz
4. Shinya Aoki
5. Anderson Silva
Honorable mentions would be Chuck Liddell and Brock Lesnar, I've still yet to get that feeling of pre-excitement of a PPV card since they've both retired. Chuck in his prime was just incredibly entertaining. As for Lesnar, whether or not it's the pro-wrestling fan in me, he just had this aura and had a natural draw.

Sakuraba definitely gets an honorable mention on my list. Did you see his fight with Kestutis Smirnovas?
I've seen every Aoki fight that was televised/ on PPV. But yeah, he showed awesome heart in the Smirnovas fight. As much as I love Aoki, I go into his fights expecting one of two things, either to get knocked the fuck out or to blow my mind with a submission.
