which past ufc fights should I watch?

jeff bingham

Hey guys, basically I was dragged into MMA on the mcgregor bandwagon but I'm absolutely in love with the sport now, can't wait for 200 tomorrow night. A year and a half ago I probably couldn't name 3 ufc fighters but getting to know them all now slowly. Just looking for some of the best fights over the last few years.

(If there is similar thread I apologise but I searched the last few pages and couldn't find anything)

You should watch old Pride cards. Unbelievable cards, fighters and fights.

Well worth watching a few of the early years of tuf too. 4, 5 and 14 are probably the best ones to start with. Season 10 is good too with Roy Nelson, Kimbo, Schaub and Mittrione but only really if you enjoy Rampage if you don't find him entertaining then it'll probably drive you mad!

That whole event has to be up there with the best ever. Only 1 or 2 fights that weren't brilliant that night

Rampage is hilarious in that, how could any one not find him entertaining. The bit where he keeps going on about Roy Nelson's 'big ol' belly' was just brilliant.

People be crazy yo. He's brilliant every time in MMA hour it's funny when Ariel isn't 100% sure if he's joking or not he's got some solid dead pan skills!

Diaz vs Sanchez UFC fight night from about 2007...the ground version of Griffin Bonnar, love that fight.

Also Hughes Trigg UFC 52(?) - love it

Great timing from the UFC YouTube channel

Leonard Garcia vs The Korean Zombie from the WEC is amazing too.
