There was no high level Judo in UFC 1. A lot of people feel like that's the case because Judo deals with the ground game and they wanted to be able to showcase how far ahead BJJ is on the ground. A judoka represented a threat to that.
Art Jimmerson was the boxer, but he wasn't a great boxer.

I'll give who I think was the first (not necessarily the best) per the original question:
wrestling: Dan Severn
judo: surprisingly nobody was actually effective that I can remember before Hidehoki Yoshia
muay thai (and kickboxing, not sure why these were separated): Bas Rutten
boxing/striking: Marco Ruas
sambo: Oleg Taktarov
