    HEY WHATS UP GUYS… I HAVEN’T COMMENTED ON HERE IN A WHILE. I HOPE ALL IS GOOD.

    THAT IS A COO IDEA. WONDER WHAT NUMBER 1 WILL BE…

  • chrisl says:

    we all know what number one will be… Kalib Starnes and Nat Quarry… =)

    seriously though this is a pretty bad a idea and sounds like a forum thread…

  • marvelknight4 says:

    Tito Ortiz vs. Frank Shamrock
    Matt Hughes vs. BJ Penn 2
    Clay Guida vs. Roger Huerta
    Wanderlei Silva vs. Chuch Liddell
    Forrest Griffin vs. Stephan Bonnar 1

    These fights have to be in the top 10 or 15 at least IMO

  • Fred says:

    This is a great idea. It should help with Spike’s ratings, and then the UFC will put it out on DVD.

  • jazzkok says:

    Dude the best fight hsa got to be GSP vs PENN 2! just joking.

    hughes vs trigg 2
    bonnar vs griffin
    taylor vs davis
    gsp vs anyone
    lidell vs wanderlei
    houston vs jardine
    huerta vs guida

    atleast ONE of those should be amongst the top fights imo

    that’s all i can think of for now

  • fr702 says:

    There are soooooo many to choose from, and I think this is a good idea, and I for one will watch the episodes of this… a few off the top of my head that will be in in tops on the lists (top 20 lets say) would be

    Royce winning UFC 1 (Jimmerson,Shammy,Gordeau)
    Chuck v Randy series
    Chuck v Wanderlei
    UFC Brazil
    Bonnar v Griffin I

    and the list could go on and on but hey I like this Idea…..

  • marvelknight4 says:

    Jorge”El Conquistador” Rivera vs. Kendall Grove (it was awesome to watch that beatdown)
    Wanderlei vs. Jardine(was awesome to see Jardine get ko’d)
    Houston Alexander vs. Jardine(of course it was awesome to see Jardine get beatdown by a rookie)
    GSP vs. Penn 2( it was super awesome to see BJ Penn eat his words and give up like pu$$y)

    I hope these fights are at least honorable mentions. Lol

    • fr702 says:

      I wouldn’t exactly consider Houston Alxeander a “rookie” but I get where u are coming from, for he did just make it to the “big leauges” when that fight happend he was 6~1 (1NC)

  • jazzkok says:

    what about the beat downs taktorov(dnt know how to spell his name) used to give

  • Bernie Morgan says:

    Hughes vs. Trigg 2
    Huerta vs. Guida

  • jazzkok says:

    kendall grove vs cote

    kendall grove vs jorge rivera

    penn vs hughes 2

    penn vs gsp 2

    jardine vs alexander

    jardine vs wanderlei

    lidell vs rampage

    lidell vs rashad

    • marvelknight4 says:

      Ken Shamrock vs. Ortiz 2 & 3(super cool to see Ken’s head bouncing up and down from Tito’s elbow attacks.

      Anthony Johnson vs. Tommy Speer(come on, his name is “The Farm Boy” he deserves to get ko’d)

      Arlovski vs. Silvia 1(the roids didn’t help Silvia in this fight)

      Franklin vs. Shamrock( i just love to see Ken get his a$$ kicked)

      Houston Alexander vs. James Irvin( Alexander can sure throw a punch, but when he barely gets flicked, he not only goes out, but goes out bad)

      Haha

  • jazzkok says:

    haha dude i know

  • Figs says:

    Liddell vs. Wanderlei is one of my personal favourites. It was a fight I waited A LONG TIME to see and it finally happened. Beyond that, no one got knocked out (which I still can’t believe) and they beat the **** out of eachother. Great fight.

    gsp vs hughes 2
    marquardt vs leites

      _____________________________________________________________________

      I hade my state wrestling tournament yesterday in Hastings,Nebraska and i got first and won champion of champions, also my brother Matthew got 2nd

  • MMAfan says:

    Its funny how people call bj a ****. He may have quit, but he has also fought some top tier fighters. Secondly,how many fighters have you fought marvel knight. Have you choked out pulver or fought machida. I doubt it. Don’t call him a **** because its people like him that put thier lives on the line for our entertainment. MARVELKNOGHT4, don’t call him a pu$$y because odds are that he could beat you in a fight.

  • GarRule says:

    No one mentions Tank Abbot? I think he gets a raw deal as far as the history of MMA goes. There was a time when I first started watching MMA (before it was MMA) when he was the biggest star. Sure, he was a brawler, but all of his fights were awesome. I think he deserves to be on this list. My favorite was when he knocked out the Hawaiian guy in about 19 seconds, but that shouldn’t make the list.

    TANKS.

  • Animal says:

    I hope we get to see this in the UK!

    I’ve got to admit I really hope the Randy vs “peepeetaste” (Andre Arlovski’s words not mine!) fight is up there.
    That first 10 second where Randy knocked Tim to the ground was awesome. Given the fact that everyone counted Randy out I feel that this at least deserves to be in the top 20 just in respect for the legend that is Randy couture!

    (Just for the record I have nothing against Tim Silvia – it was just a f*cking funny quote after Tim nailed Arlovski’s ex!)

    Agreed – any GSP fight should be up there. Personally I liked the 2nd fight against Matt Hughes. What do you think about Maia vs Macdonald fight for the purists out there? The jujitsu in that fight was beautiful.

  • Quinton says:

    Ed herman vs Kendal Grove
    Karo Parisyan vs Diego Sanchez
    Matt hughes vs Frank trigg 2
    Wanderlei silva vs Chuck Liddle
    Tito Ortiz vs Randy Couture
    Randy vs Tim Sylvia
    Randy vs Chuck Liddle Trilogy
    Tito Ortiz vs Frank Shamrock
    Sam Stout vs Spencer Fisher
    BJ penn vs GSP 1

    And last but not least Paul Buentello vs Andrie Arloski…. LOL that was by far the worst title match ever

  • TNT69 says:

    GSP vs John finch has to be in at top 10
