The name that springs to mind is Dan Severn.
Admittedly he was around when MMA was still in it's infant years, but he dominated very well with his wrestling, and had at least some submissions in his arsenal too

I'd say Matt Hughes is up there in terms of using his wrestling to become dominant. Same with Coleman

lindland set himself apart a bit and effectively used his wrestling in mma to by a top-ranked MW. i don't think he was every the pure fighter that henderson turned out to be, but he still left a legacy.
coleman has to get a mention. he was an olympian, and used a very effective (albeit one-dimensional) style to much success early in his career. funny enough, there was a time when he was considered the p4p best in the world.
