If any of the links don't work, or if they don't have the whole fights, PM me and I'll fix it.

wow thats awesomeness

Nice work.:thumbsup:

How could they leave out frank shamrock vs tito ortiz that was the greatest comeback in mma history IMO

Good work. Congrats for the effort. :thumbsup:

GREAT list, I love this. 100% worth the effort and I will be saving this to a few servers and my personal machine, I recommend lots of others do it too. :thumbsup:


Shogun vs Rampage IMO should have made the list but all fights are great!


edit: lol @ "John" Fitch. Mythbusters made that same mistake.

Thanks man. That's a great list.

awesome list and thanks for throwing that together. I disagree with showing a new fan the Bonnar/Griffin fight, although it was one of the best fights I've ever seen. A new fan may think it's too barbaric or bloody haha


EDIT: That is of course by new fan you mean someones dad who recently started enjoying spike tv re-runs of fights...

I still reckon Torres v Mizugaki was one of the best, most entertaining fights there is. But nice list compiled there, agree with most of them.

Amazing job Davisty. I stickied the threads for you.
