Personally, my favorite fight of all time was Kazushi Sakuraba versus Carlos Newton.

I don't know how many times I've watched this fight; just to break down the transitions and escapes that they throw at each other.
Probably Bas Rutten vs Frank Shamrock II, when they fall out of the ring
Yeah, that was pretty epic.Quote:

they didn't even know what a triangle was. amazing. these were the glory days of jiu jitsu.
At 7:16 you'll see pro wrestler Al Snow patting Severn on the back. He was Dan's trainer for the tournament. Dan discussed Al Snow at his seminar when discussing how "out of his element" he was at that first UFC and how he totally didn't expect it to be what it was.
Three fairly current fights that I always enjoy are kind of a trilogy:
Karo Parisyan/Nick Diaz
Nick Diaz/Diego Sanchez
Diego Sanchez/Karo Parisyan
Of all time?
Man....
Royce's early fights
Nog vs. Cro Cop, Sapp, Fedor, Sylvia, Heath Herring
The Wanderlei/Saku trilogy and Wand vs Chuck
Bas/Shamrock
Shamrock/Frye
Rickson/Takada
BJ Penn/Hughes 1
GSP/BJ Penn 1
Saku/Renzo Gracie
Silva/Sonnen
Gomi/Nick Diaz
Garcia/Korean Zombie
The GSP/Hughes trilogy
Fedor/Randleman
Any match that's ended in a Darce/Brabo choke:
Grove/Belcher
Etim/Bucholz
Thiago/Swick
Hendricks/Gamble
Babalu/Sokodjou
I could go on forever man.
Shogun vs Rogerio Nogueira
Gotta go CroCop v Fedor. Two of the greats near their prime.
Close second for me was Rampage v Chuck II. Changing of the guard is always fun.
would have to say BJ Penn vs Joe Daddy Stevenson. There was more blood in that ring, than in a ECW Hardcore table match lol!!
B.J who??????????
just kidding randall ..i know how much of a hardcore B.J PENN fan you are....
The squirting......
Nate The Great and Maia
Roger Huerta v. Leonard Garcia, the smiles on those guys' faces made me appreciate things on a whole other level.
Frank Shamrock vs Tito Ortiz.....old school
Kazushi Sakuraba vs Vitor Belfort. That was the first first I ever saw and the first flying face stomp I've ever seen as well. Changed my life.
Newton vs Saku was pretty ridiculous as well.
brock vs fedor...oh wait thats never going to happen is it lol

As weird as it may sound my favorite was the Phil Baroni vs Frank Shamrock in 2007 at EleteXC lol.Because it had two guys who genuinely disliked each other and you could see that in every minute of the fight, then it seamed that Baroni was jucin' and even though Shamrock was landing damaging haymakers Baroni was still standing and fighting absorbing unnatural amounts of punishment, and the epic, almost prowrestling way the fight was finished with that RNC by Frank who then pushed the unconscious Phil to roll him over and get up lol. Plus i just loved the "go to sleep" taunts that Shamrock would do... classic, the whole fight was epic, there was everything done there that could be done in an MMA fight, and there was a ton of drama and moments of disbelief, even though the guys weren't that big and high level i highly recommend watching that fight, exciting all the way.
