    thats what was so amazing. i remember that being a tough a fight to predict who wud win before the fight, and then to see the difference in speed and technique it was just nuts

    Watching Conor McGregor beat Artur Sowinski at Celtic Gladiator 2 was fairly cool. We ended up in the middle of a crowd of Sowinski's Polish supporters for that fight, serious craic when the ref called it.

    Randy schooling Big Tim has to get the top spot.

    Honourable mentions:
    Anderson's finish of Rick Franklin in the first fight
    Anderson Vs Forrest Griiffin
    Royce Gracie when asked about his chances against Matt Hughes: "This my house, I build it" (Shame it wasn't to be).
    and the whole of UFC 93 in Dublin just because I was there.

    Although I didn't watch the fight live I remember watching Anderson Silva elbow KO of Tony Fruckland and being like how the **** did he do that. Spent a good half an hour watching the finish back trying to get my head around it.

    the entire o2 standing up and lifting the roof off the place as tom egan made his way to the octagon (with damien dempsey as the walkout music for good measure) , the fight was a downer but that was some show of support for a guy representing irish mma , looking forward to nights like that comin back to the ufc

    Favourite moment is still the fight that got me hooked, Hughes vs Trigg II.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsmvKBkpD0Q

    Live, UFC 116. I was in Vegas for the fight and it was a great card. Leben vs Akiyama was an incredible fight and I was hoarse afterwards. Then watching Lesnar survive the Carwin onslaught (I was a Brock fan) and submit him in the second was fantastic. I had a sore throat for 3 weeks after that night, I think I screamed so loud I did some damage.

    Someone already mentioned the first Edgar comeback against Maynard, for me the second comeback fight (3rd overall) was amazing. Not only surviving the early knockdowns, but when he knocked Maynard out I was out of my chair.

    Watching Randy COuture come back and win the world title WAS the moment for me as an MMA fan.

    This is actually my favourite moment by a long shot. Couldn't for the life of me remember who it was though.

    Being at UFC 69 in Texas to see Serra knock GSP, it was a huge shock. Luke Cummo won that night as well, now there's a guy who just disappeared.

    Yeah, Cummo was awesome. Didn't he used to drink his own p*ss?

    I remember his last fight was against another guy who just disappeared, Tamdan McCrory! He was such a talent too, just maybe not up to the level needed for the UFC. He also disappeared off the face of the earth!

    And Dustin Hazelett........ where is he? I remember his sweet reverse armbar v McCrory. Is there some sort of MMA Bermuda Triangle?

    Ye, he drinks his urine ,and he is a trainer in Ray Longo's (serras trainer) gym. He trained with him when he fought.

    Hazelett is taking a break.

    It was such a great moment to you, yet you don't know the opponent ?

    Was it when he made Bo quit ? or his epic KO of Tank Abbott combined with badass contempt for gum shields ?

    Horrible fighter with minimal talent but , the Seth fight and, the end of the Houston fights did bring a few chuckles
