I don’t know a great deal about UFC, but it seems that these past few years the stand out performers have become mainstream stars as popularity surges.

Chuck Liddell, George St. Pierre, Ronda Rousey – all these names have come to be known outside of the ring and those who worship it. Now one YouTube user has put together a compilation that illustrates the evolution of the MMA fighter, from some of the steroid-filled stars of old to today’s modern athletes.

One thing is for sure – us mere mortals wouldn’t stand a chance against the brute force these athletes exhibit.
