This is a good article from cbs sportsline although not very accurate.
One thing that puzzles me is Jeff Monson at #1 and Kimbo SLice should not be on this list.
By Greg Doyel-cbssportsline.com
Mixed martial artists are the scariest athletes on the planet. They're not necessarily the biggest or strongest or best -- but they are the scariest.
Think about it. These guys have chiseled their bodies down to muscle and bone. They enter a cage knowing their fight can -- and probably will -- end with someone knocked out or choked unconscious. Unless the referee stops the fight in time, the losing fighter could die. MMA is that dangerous. (And that cool.)
But some of these dudes are scarier than others. In my worst nightmare, I would find myself locked into an Octagon with any of these 10 guys.
10. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson: The UFC light heavyweight champion barks and howls and walks around in python-thick steel chains, but what makes Jackson terrifying is his body slam. Nobody slams as viciously as Jackson, who could have killed Ricardo Arona in 2004. Arona probably thought he was close to victory when he locked his legs around Jackson's neck and started squeezing -- a move called the triangle choke -- but Jackson stood, raised Arona over his shoulders and whip-lashed him to the ground. The back of Arona's skull smashed into the mat, and he was out cold. See for yourself. It's awful.

haha are u fucking retarded? this list is crap, go to sherdog to LEARN something about mma fighters.. what real mma fighter would be scared to face kimbo? ahahah he lost to sean gannon! that dude was horrible in mma as well... do yourself a favor mr. writer and do your research before you make a shitty list and start by putting fedor ON THE TOP OF THE LIST
dude... jeff monson. he and tim sylvia bored me to tears when they fought. i was so ticked that i had to pay for that fight.
i have a list of the top 10 heavyweights here:

what a terrible list. While i praise you for your efforts, Jeff Monson as #1? The only person he beat was Fujita.
And for the record, Quinton Jackson did NOT knock out Arona by the slam. If you watch closely at the video, Arona was actually knocked out by the headbutt when their heads connected.
I appreciate the comments everyone, and I whole heartedly agree with everyone of them. If you wanna talk smack to this guy (i didnt write the article, i just put it on my blog) heres the link.

You sir know less about MMA than you do about web page color schemes
How do you know whether it was the slam or the headbutt that knocked out Arona? Did you see a glimmer of consciousness in his eyes i the .002 seconds between the time his head hit the mat and then collided with Rampages?
Jeez man thats a terrible list. Fedor #4? Just because hes does not look like a body builder doesn't mean hes not the best fighter. Why not do some research on MMA before you publish an article. You make you and your company look like total fools.
BJ less scary than Kimbo? COME ON!
BJ should be top three with Fedor
I say again I didnt write this article, why is my blog being flamed? No need to bring color schemes into this. I just wanted to share this article because its from a mainstream publication, which obviously shows the kind of knowledge they have of our beloved sport.

Can I say something to you retards posting comments here?
THIS IS NOT ABOUT FIGHTER SKILL, ITS ABOUT HOW SCARY THEY ARE. TO BE SCARY, YOU DONT EVEN HAVE TO HAVE SKILL. SHOGUN LOOKS LIKE A FRAT BOY. KIMBO LOOKS LIKE HE'D BEAT YOU DOWN IF YOU STEPPED ON HIS SHOES.
WHILE I DONT AGREE WITH SOME OF THE FIGHTERS ON HERE, PLEASE, LEARN TO READ.
this is a pretty retarded list ...
please go educate yourself
until then, dont operate any heavy machinery
Did anyone here learn how to read in school? Or do you all just love the smell of your own asses before you try to comprehend something?
this list sux
"scary" is not clearly defined
if "scary" = pussy
then, monson is #1
I thought the list was great. Some people just can't read...
HAHA you troll!! Perhaps you should do your homework before you go posting shitty list of mostly uninteresting fighters.
Have you ever even seen an MMA fight?
Mainstream news doesn't know dick about MMA! Perhaps someday they will, but for now, they should just stick with car bombs in Iraq and leave MMA to real fighters!
MR. HILLGROVE
You guys are stupid. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, listen Greg Doyel does a radio show here in the Nati and he is a huge MMA fan and very knowledgeable. The list is "scariest" as in looking, which is all subjective anyway. Not who's best. It is supposed to an amusing type article, we've been clowning on it on the radio for 2 days now. Lighten up, high strung mental midgets. Read some of his many articles regarding MMA. Oh yeah, he practices what he preaches, got choked unconsciousby Jorge Gurgel just so he could write about it.
If this list is "scariest as in looking" then why is BJ on there? He's got more of a baby face than Josh Barnett. Please read your own post b/f calling people "mental midgets"-
I agree. If "scariest" means that they look like a good fighter- why is BJ or Fedor on the list?
-Anonymous---- "IF this list is 'scariest' as in looking.
You're right, you're right, you're right...this list is not at all subjective and he meant 'scariest' as in best. You're right, 'cause we all know for a fact Kimbo Slice is a p4p top 5 fighter.
This is quite possibly the most offensive reading I have ever come across. The internet is bad for this reason alone; morons are enabled to post completely idiotic information that other poor unknowingly saps go ahead and read and are misinformed. Kimbo Slice??? Monson as number 1??? I hope it's a joke. If so, not funny.
It's true that Mixed Martial Arts is a dangerous sports. It is very painful to see them fighting.
