Jorge Santiago, #10 Middleweight
Santiago has silently been on a tear since leaving the UFC in 2006, compiling nine straight wins. Santiago cracks the top ten with his latest win over Kazuo Misaki.

tkhess says:
Brock Lesnar a top 30 athlete of 2008 just because he beat Coture. Lesnar is 3-1 I believe and is a joke. He'll be good once he can submit someone, but for now, just avoid his haymakers. What was Dana thinking when he paid Lesnar all that cash, the veterans of the UFC should be upset what some of these new guys get. I'd fight Lesnar for free.January 6, 2009 - 10:13pm
