Not a big fan of Hendo. I lost some respect for him after he took that extra shot on Bisping, when he was clearly out cold.

 

By the way, what's everyone's favorite MMA fight?

I think mine has to be the first time Silva fought Franklin.

Anderson silva vs rich franklin - YouTube

 

Mines probably the Chirs Leben vs Yoshihiro Sexyama at UFC 116...

And there were quite a few amazing fights in the WEC before they merged...cant put my finger on which ones cuz there were so many...lol

The Ultimate Fighter Inching Toward Philippines in 2012

The Ultimate Fighter Inching Toward Philippines in 2012 | MMA News



"The Ultimate Fighter reality series may finally be heading abroad! According to new reports officials are apparently close to finalizing a deal that will see TUF head to the Philippines in 2012. Officials from ABS-CBN —which is the parent company of Balls (the TV sports network that airs UFC programming in the Philippines) — have broken news to the press that they expect to launch a local edition of the series in 2012. This news isn’t entirely shocking considering that the UFC has been planning a “TUF Philippines” series since early February of this year but the news is nice to hear because it means the deal is that much closer to being finalized and closed. This is great news for the Philippines and UFC fans across the globe. We all know that the UFC has been on a mission to eventually bring the sport to fans across the entire globe and this is just another step in that process.

Although the series’ location is now more than likely sealed there has yet to be a release of any news regarding the possible weight classes or coaches for the series. However, one coaching name has been in the front-running since the rumors of a “TUF Philippines” series emerged: “The Filipino Wrecking Machine” Mark Munoz. Munoz has been very adamant about his interest in coaching the show and because he’s coming off of such a huge win over Demian Maia at UFC 131 and has gone 6-1 since his drop to middleweight it only seems logical to think that Munoz’s name is at the top of the list. Some have even gone far enough to mention pairing him with the winner of the Belfort vs. Le fight in November. With Anderson Silva coming off of his impressive victory over Okami a few weeks ago the weight class is now in need of a new contender. And what better way to settle the dilemma than by a season of The Ultimate Fighter? Seems appealing enough for me!

But aside from the coaches of the season the series in the Philippines could very easily give the UFC more young talent to work with. With the recent success of OneFC, there is no question of the potential talent that could become a part of this season. Fighters such as Eduard Folayang and Eric Kelly could present some intriguing match-ups at lightweight and featherweight, respectively, though the likelihood of the UFC doing two straight seasons of lighter weight-classes seems slim. But the possibilities are there, and the important thing is that the deal to get TUF to the Philippines is looking brighter every day. We wish the best to the UFC while trying to close this deal. We can only assume that, like they always do, they will deliver the fans what they want: great fights with new talent."

 

Wow, what a question. So many incredible fights. Some of the Pride fights were just epic. Barnett and Nog in Japan was incredible for example.

I liked seeing Fedor pick off Arlovski out of the air in Anaheim, but it's because I was 11th row. The place went freakin' nuts!

In recent years, I've enjoyed the lighter weight bouts the best generally.

Pulver Vs Faber I was one of my favorites, an absolute WAR.

Ben Henderson Vs Anthony Pettis was phenomenal, even without the matrix/ninja kick.

Hughes Vs Trigg when Trigg nailed Matt in the gones, later escaped a would-be match ending choke, then Matt came back and subbed him after a slam. Amazing.

Lyoto Vs Thiago Silva was another one I watched live. Watching Lyoto practically float around the ring, so evasive, then quickly putting Silva down and finishing him so quickly was just incredible. Silva couldn't touch Lyoto, it was almost scary how good Machida's footwork was.

Griffin Vs Bonnar I was, c'mon, everyone's gotta love that one. So much heart by those two. It put MMA on the map for UFC more than any other match I can think of.

I can't pick a favorite, just lots and lots of great bouts.

 

i use to have a library of my fav fights saved on my old lap, it crashed

i cant rememb all of them now, but to list a few,

rampage vs w silva, both fights

fedor vs nog, all their fights

sakuraba vs arona, brutal, should have been stoped waaay before

sakuraba vs r gracie, this match could be boring to watch to some but it had alot of history behind it, it was higly anticipated, sakuraba nicknamed himself the gracie hunter and the gracies wanted to put an end to his winning streak, wel they failed, they negotiated match with no time limit and got it, (its a brazilan jj concept where the old masters belive a bjj match should not have a time limit, fight til you submit) the fight lasted an hour and a half, helio gracie was ring side, and they threw the towel
