I don't think MMA has been going for long enough to declare any one person as that big of an influence. Maybe we could answer this in ten years.
But even so, it's like asking who is the father of boxing or something so broad and debatable. In these sports, stars rise and fall all the time and the game evolves. Noone is really the father. I guess you could say that all those guys are pioneers.
