Those are the 1st, 3rd and 4th linear UFC Heavyweight Titles.... the 2nd was vacated by Bas Rutten when he retired due to injury after winning the newly created title in 1999 at UFC 20. (He did end up eventually coming back winning one last fight in 2006, however.)
The 5th was unified with the 6th in a match pitting Jeff Monson (5th title linear holder) vs. Tim Sylvia (then current official UFC Champion) at UFC 65. The 6th was brought about by Frank Mir winning the title against Tim Sylvia, then getting stripped because he was in a motorcycle accident and physically unable to defend. Mir's next loss after coming back from the accident was to Marcio Cruz... and Cruz's next loss was to Jeff Monson.... who then lost in the aforementioned bout to Sylvia.
The 6th and 7th were just recently unified by Brock Lesnar in a match against Frank Mir at UFC 100. The 7th was established due to Randy Couture attempting to leave the UFC while champion and an interim title was established in the meantime by a match between Big Nog and Tim Sylvia.
