I guess for me Royce is the pioneer the one we all saw back in UFC 1 take on guys double his size and win. I did like watching some of his marathon fights in pride too. unfortunately no great fighter seems to be able to avoid controversy gracie was pinned for PED use but it doesnt take away how great he was
