    You know what I mean, when did a great little underdog beat a great big favourite in style, using skill to overcome size, and shock the MMA world?

    All answers welcome :good

    Serra used to fight as a LW and I'm pretty sure he could still make 155.

    In some ways Couture vs Sylvia but most recently it was Minowa vs Hong Man Choi that **** was wild looking.

    :good Couture vs Sylvia was one I had in mind too.

    Although Toney vs Brock will be even better once it happens... :D

    Bob Sapp vs. Minotauo Nogueira is a good one.

    For the new MMA fans here. Check out Mark Hall vs. Koji Kitao

    Ruas vs. Varelans was one of the greatest fights at the time. It was whoaa!!
