Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira would be my number 1.
Why?
Because this is MMA, not pure grappling. Some fighters are accomplished grapplers but that doesn't mean it translates into MMA well.

Nog
Rickson
BJ Penn
Royce
Sakuraba - Even though he came from a catch wrestling background and not BJJ, you can't deny Saku's ground game when he was at his prime

I won't rate them but the top five would be Rickson, Sakuraba, Big Nog, Aoki and Renzo. Before people start whining about Marcelo I'll say that this is based on their submission skills in MMA matches and not pure submission matches (in which case Marcelo would definitely be on the list).
