    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)

    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.

    Great timing from the UFC YouTube channel

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

    Weidman vs Rockhold was an interesting one too (from a "Stop, he's already dead" standpoint)
