#4. ONE Championship Muay Thai fighter Lerdsila Chumpairtour
Much like Rodtang, what made Muay Thai living legend Lerdsila into our list is the unusual style he brings inside the ring.
If Rodtang is all intense and giving it his all, Lerdsila looks like he's just playing. Dubbed 'The Mayweather of Muay Thai', Lerdsila's defense is unlike anybody else the sport has ever seen.

Lerdsila admittedly doesn't take fights too seriously, as he doesn't care much about winning or losing, but to have fun inside the ring. He likes taunting, keeping his opponents guessing and aggravating them with his elusiveness to break their concentration.
He is extremely good at using the Teep kick and head movements into his defense, something that's not seen a lot by traditional Muay Thai fighters today.
Watch this analysis video by Lawrence Kenshin to understand the complexity of Lerdsila's unusual tactics:
#3. Former UFC fighter and ONE Championship lightweight Sage Northcutt
When then-19-year-old 'Super' Sage Northcutt made his UFC debut looking like the absolutely jacked lovechild of Ivan Drago and Mr. Robinson, the whole MMA world was put on notice.
Though he could have been mistaken as an underwear model because of his unbelievably chiseled physique, Northcutt utterly dismantled Francisco Treviño in less than a minute. He then proceeded to call everyone Mr. or Mrs. in his interviews, while sporting a smile that would give Ken dolls a run for their money.
And yeah, he also did a standing front flip.
What puts Northcutt on our list is how unbelievably nice and wholesome he is. Though we have seen a few fighters who are genuinely good people but can still mess anybody up, Northcutt is on a different level.
He's the closest to an angel one could possibly see. If an angel is a 170-pound Adonis who can put anyone to sleep, that is.
The ONE Championship fighter's always-positive attitude and child-like wholesomeness is a rarity in a sport that's made a name out of sheer violence. This is not a made-up persona or a fake visage Northcutt puts on in front of the camera. This is 100% what he is 100% of the time.
His very existence is an oddity in the savage sport of MMA and that's why he deserves a spot on our list.
