Any guesses on the next one?

NUMBER 7:
Josh Barnett
This one may be the best fighter on this list, when he became a champion, he wasn't only a 13-1 fighter, but also the youngest heavyweight champion the UFC ever had to this day. With that being said, you may be wondering, "but why?", and the answer is very simple: Roids.
As the story goes, prior to his title shot againts the way older Randy Couture, Josh dismantled the majority of the opponets he faced, then when he had his rematch against the women beater that he had already won against, named Bobby Hoffman, he tested positive for steroids. And here you may think that he would get suspended, cut from the promotion... But no, the UFC executives decided that it was a better idea for him to fight with the champion, right after being oficially declared as a cheater.
Having the size, weight, age advantage and a good grappling background, it was no surprise when he got the TKO (technical knockout) victory in the second round, what was no surprise either was when after beating the old man, it was revealed that he was full roided prior to the fight. And so he was stripped of the title, years later he went on to fight in the UFC again (after being on a tear inside other promotions), he tested positive for steroids again and never fought ever since.
Here is a picture of the old man wrapping the belt around the roided kid:
