What is the greatest single fight performance ever in the UFC. We're not talking about the best fighter ever...just the Wilt Chamberlain 100 points in a game type of performances. Some possibilities........
GSP (GSP-Hughes 2)
Matt Hughes (Hughes-Trigg 2)
Diego Sanchez (Sanchez-Parisan)
Forrest Griffen (Griffen-Ortiz)
Tito Ortiz (Ortiz-Shamrock 1)
Jason McDonald (Macdonald-Herman)
BJ Penn (Penn-Hughes 2)
1. Silva v Franklin (every second is a highlight, my most watched)
2. Silva v. Leben (a clinic, plus it's Leben getting beat up...looks too easy...maybe choreographed? )
3. Hughes v Trigg 2 ( best comeback)
4. GSP v Hughes 2 (I wanted GSP to win..but I didn't think he would be that dominant)
5. Hughes v Newton 1 (best double KO)
c'mon Ortiz vs Shamrock.... Mcdonald vs Herman? Those are nowhere near being the best matches in history. But I guess thats your opinion so Im not gonna flame them. In my opinion Griffin vs. Bonnar just because it went to a decision after a great performance from both fighters leaving them out of gas. Both exhibited great will to win while using all of their skills to give one of the greatest stand up battles.
Well I think you've just guarenteed that everyone else on this forum will stop taking you seriously from now on.How much further can you push that head up your own a** ?!!
I just watched UFC 41 again so here are two good ones.
Frank Mir - Tank Abbott (UFC 41) - Mir really showed just how skilled he really is.
Tim Sylvia - Ricco Rodriguez (UFC 41) - Awsome fight! Syliva stuffed all of Riccos take down attempts and submissions, cut the ring off from him, forced Ricco to stand with him and then knocked him TFO in the first round. Perfect game plan. Sylvia shocked the world as he was listed as a 5-1 underdog being that it was just his second UFC fight.
Couture vs. Ortiz
St. Pierre vs. Trigg
St. Pierre vs. Miller (I never seen someone take this bad of a beating and going to a decision)
St. Pierre vs. Hughes II
Silva vs. Leben (I think he got 100% hit accuracy in this fight)
Chonan vs. Silva (simply because of that insane submission)
Penn vs. Hughes I
Cro Cop vs. Wanderlei (I didn't expect Wanderlei to get dominated that badly)
Meh, some are probably not as good as the other ones. Can't think right now.
That ruled as well. The fact that Couture was the underdog made it even better.
Someone mentioned Saku vs Newton, yea, that ruled as well. Really good grappling match, and the fact that Saku finished Newton with a sub was amazing. Newton is incredibly difficult to submit(Then again, so is Sakuraba).
I'd say the Frank Mir vs Tank fight was the best Frank has ever looked(Barring the Tim Sylvia arm break). Incredibly smooth transition into that omo plata--->toe hold.
I think for this you would have to go way back to when fighters who won the event would have to go through 3 guys in one w/ an open weight class night. To single out a specific fighters performance from one bout is too much IMO.
1. Liddell vs Couture 1
2. Hughes vs Trigg 2
3. GSP vs Trigg
4. Diego vs Karo
5. Franklin vs David L. (shattered left hand and still threw it)
