Anthony Johnson
Joe Stevenson
BJ Penn
Joe Lauzon
Kenny Florian (Although he is 31 now, he seems to do a good enough job avoiding damage to last a long time)
Roger Huerta
Frankie Edgar
St. Pierre (although someone mentioned the injury bug ending his career prior to ten years and that wouldn't surprise me either)
Shogun (I hope that knee recovers 110% or else he won't make it ten years)
Anderson Silva (He will be 42 in ten years but he doesn't take damage. If he continues to maul people like he is doing now, he can easily have one of the longest and best careers in MMA history)
Brock Lesnar (To my knowledge he has never had a serious injury. If he ends up being the type of MMA fighter that takes you down and destroys you without taking much damage himself, I can see him being in this sport for a long time)
Yushin Okami
Nick Diaz
Nate Diaz
Thiago Alves (yes I know I am listing a lot of guys form last night's card but a lot of these guys are in their early to mid 20s)
Thiago Silva
Rampage (no career threatening injuries to my knowledge, and he has already reached a status where he can probably afford to fight two times a year and be rich as hell. This will allow his body to stick around for the long haul, and Juanito would do everything imaginable to see to it)
Aoki
Danzig
Melendez
Condit
Faber
Cub

I can keep going. My point is there are a ton of very talented young guys in the sport. As the sport continues to grow and other organizations start becoming more well know, as these guys grow older they will take their popularity and spread out, further enhancing MMA. At least, that is what I hope for. As cool as it is to see dream fights, MMA has to be cyclic. The cycle we are in now sees the tail end of a generation which came together to provide dream fights (made possible by Pride going under) paving the way for a new generation of fighters that we will be watching for a long time.

Joe Lauzon
Roger Hurta
Tyson Griffin
Frankie Edgar
Thiago Alves
Martin Kampmann
Joe Daddy - He is only 25 but in 10 years he would have like 60 fights lol. So idk.
Thiago Tarves

All the guys i listed besides Daddy are under 25 years of age. I stuck with the UFC guys because i don't know the ages an things like that of the others.

I would say in 5 plus years MMA will have changed again. Bottom of the line guys will be like GSP now. Meaning well rounded in everything. The sport is going to continue to evolve.

I choose these guys because they are still very young an capable of learning so much more.

I disagree about Nick Diaz, he gets punched in the face to much and in 10 years will be brain dead imo
