#3 Rumble Johnson
Anthony Johnson, better known by his nickname ‘Rumble’, is one of the fiercest competitors in the Ultimate Fighting Championship today. Boasting of an impressive 22-5 record to his name, Rumble Johnson is notorious for his brutal knockout power and formidable presence inside the Octagon.
Johnson is currently the No. 1 Light Heavyweight contender in the official rankings of the UFC and is ranked 2 in the world by ESPN and Sherdog. His record of the most ‘sub-minute’ knockout wins in the UFC (5) lay testimony to the brutality he inflicts on his opponents!

Rumble Johnson’s career, however, hasn’t been controversy-free.
In September 2014, reports surfaced about Johnson being involved in a case of domestic violence against the mother of his two children, to which Johnson claimed to be innocent. Following this, the UFC released a statement that bore the indefinite suspension of Johnson until the case was investigated.
A couple of months later, the UFC lifted Johnson’s ban after the case was dismissed. Reminds you of someone? (Stone Cold Steve Austin)
