    As the title says whats your favourite bout? If you cant pick 1 then whats your top 3/5....

    What made me think of it was I was re-watching WEC 43 last night on Extreme sports, (by the way WEC 38 is on extreme tonight too) and I forgot how good that fight was between Donald Cerrone and Ben Henderson. It had everything and was real edge of the seat stuff.

    Another one of my favourites is Forrest Griffin v Stephan Bonnar in the TUF1 final. Its gone down as a classic.

    And Matt Hughes v Frank Trigg 2 was another great one. Didn't last long but was an exciting one.

    Thats all I can think of off hand at the min. :)

    This is just incredible.



    Also this. A split second is all it takes to turn a fight around. Myself and a mate were on our feet screaming watching this. We had a bet on. He had Lesnar, I had Mir.

    Edgar Vs Maynard II was just epic stuff (apart from the disappointment of the draw)

    Silva Vs Sonnen was insane

    Nakamura vs Galbraith from Pride 32. It wouldn't be the greatest fight of all time but its the one I've rewatched the most so I guess that makes it my favourite. Good pace and some nice judo, what more could you want?

    Sanchez vs Pariysan is another 'go to' fight for me, some huge throws.

    Shogun vs Lil Nog. Absolutely incredible.

    Also Diaz vs Sanchez was a great fight. Maia vs. MacDonald was another good one, seeing as MacDonald didn't get massacred on the mat like everyone elso who went to the ground with him.

    Cyborg vs. Manhoef is a classic in my eyes. The most ridiculous fight I've seen.

    griffin vs bonnar 1


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,117 ✭✭✭SanoVitae

    Griffin vs Bonnar 1 is probably the most overrated.

    Griffin vs Bonnar 1 is probably the most overrated.
    I think its mostly rated so high duw to its significance.
    It was prob the most important MMA fight for the sport

    I thought Joe Warren Vs Joe Soto was the second best fight last year, behind Garcia VS Chan Sung. For anyone who hasn't seen it here is the link http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xevhpw_joe-soto-vs-joe-warren_sport


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 50 ✭✭eosirl08.


    for me its

    1. Fedor vs Cro Cop
    2. Shogun vs Lil Nog
    3. Hughes vs Trigg 2
    4. Sonnen vs silva
    5. Arona vs Rampage (just for the slam no other reason)


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,262 ✭✭✭✭DrPhilG


    Hughes Trigg II was the fight that turned me hardcore.

    Sanchez vs Guida was amazing, and I had a sore throat for 3 weeks after Lesnar vs Carwin, although I'd already been screaming that night from Leben vs Akiyama.

    Dan Henderson/Wanderlei Silva

    Not that all guns blazing but it was a very good standup fight and great finish aswell. Probably my favourite PRIDE fight because I didn't watch much PRIDE and that was the best fight I saw.

    I meant the second one that Henderson won. There is some great Pride fights, you should try watch some more. Chuck Liddell/Guy Mezger is a good one, Mezger/Wanderlei Silva is good, anything with Gomi is good. Sakuraba the early years. I always say that a Pride event is greater on average than a UFC event, just cause of how Pride was set up. They got fined for boring fights, different rules added to the spectacle. Man I miss that.
