And people say I’m a jerk….
Come on dbiz, that was meant to be funny. I wasn’t trying to be a smart a$$, it just happens some times.
besides you should look up to me
I believe it was Couture/Liddell III or Liddell/Ortiz
LIDDELL VS ORTIZ 1
it might be the wanderlei silva vs chuck liddell w/ matt hughes vs GSP III
Don’t think Matt will fight again after his next fight. Hopefuly he wins and hangs’em up.
I think it was Couture/Lesnar at #2 and I want to say it was the last liddell/ortiz 2 that was the highest ever.
