There a lot of fighters coming up the ranks who weren't even born when the first UFC started out in 1993. Then there is a relic of a fighter that is very relevant today and appreciates the warriors who did combat at UFC 1, and that man is Chael Sonnen. He got into the sport to be the UFC champion when there was no such thing as a weight class, time limits, rounds, and rules themselves were scarce. Even today as the sport has advanced to the form it now is, he still embodies the same spirit of a Royce Gracie, who would take on behemoths much larger than him and wasn't interested in segmenting the world of fighting into weight categories.
