You said influential not best so list goes like this,
Royce ----> proved the world that little man can beat big man using jiujitsu
Chuck ----> put MMA in every household
Coleman --> showed that at the very least %50 of MMA training has to be wrestling

[Corky]

Anderson
lyoto
fedor

[Ben Vazquez]

Influential?

I got to go with...

Royce Gracie (Proved Jiu-Jitsu's effectiveness)
Dan Severn (Proved Wrestling's effectiveness )
Randy Couture (Pushed the age & physical fitness limits higher)

[Brent Smith]

Anderson
lyoto
fedor

Come on brent..

[Justin W.]

It would have to be

1. Royce Gracie
2. Chuck Liddell
3. Randy Couture

[Robert Sevigny]

royce
sakuraba
bas rutten

[Steven Daniels]

Royce
Coleman
Tank Abbot - tank brought the street fighters to the game and the average non martial arts fan, so don't give me shit on this one.

But I guess it may depend on who is being influenced.

Royce, Sakuraba, and my final pick is a tough one, but it has to be Militech, simply because he was one of the first gameplanners, and spawned several high level guys from his camp.
