    Are there many complete fights on YouTube or mostly highlights? I miss MMA as I don't get the right channels on Sky anymore.

    There are a lot of fights on YouTube but many UFC fights get taken down fairly quickly.
    There are a number of other sites though, where you can watch practically any full fight you want. These aren't strictly legal though.

    You can find almost all strikeforce and pride fights on youtube actually.

    One trick I found to get some of the more obscure Pride fights is to find out a fighter's name in japanese and then search for that :D

    GSP is prob the least exciting fighter to watch!

    Pre Serra he was in a few good fights.

    BJ, Hieron, Hughes fights. Before the UFC he got nicknamed rush for running through guys.

    My suggestions for TS off the top of my head.

    Nogueira is my favorite fighter and he has been in some classics.

    Nog/Barnett fights, Nog/Cro Cop ,Nog/Coleman, Nog/Sapp

    Some nice beatings and KO's to check out. Cro Cop vs Igor, Waterman, Herring. Igor's KO of Bueno is a must. Arona/Sakuraba, All Wand/Rampage fights.

    Newton/Sakuraba, Frye/Shamrock , Frank Shamrock/Ortiz , Rua/Nog are great fights.

    In addition to what has already been said

    Diego Sanchez Vs Clay Guida
    Benson Henderson Vs Clay Guida

    Frankie Edgar Vs Gray Maynard II & III - probably the best 2 fights I have ever seen.

    Totally new to watching MMA and haven't seen too many fights all. But I searched this one out and holy hell, the first round is nothing short of unbelievable. Can see why this sport can hook you after watching that. It had everything.

    I agree entirely. He was great to watch when trying to make a name for himself. Now it's all about not loosing, which I understand, but I prefer guys who throw down.
