    Mirko v Sapp had that feel about it.

    There is no way in hell Minowaman should have beaten Sokoudjou. Yet he did. That is the ultimate MMA David vs. Goliath win, FTW. :deal:deal:deal

    yes, I'm biased because it's Minowaman. :yep

    For that matter - Minowa's own win over Sapp, where the size difference was WAY bigger than Sapp/Minotauro.

    Are we talking actual physical size?

    Or a size difference and a huge underdog status?

    That was my interpretation. Who fought the biggest skilled opponent?

    IE wins over Butterbean don't count.

    Fedor - Semmy Schilt.

    Kaoklai Kaennorsing - Mighty MO
    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwqxZrRMXhw[/ame]

    Kaoklai vs Hong Man Choi
    Kaoklai, 5'11" 172lbs
    HMC, 7'2" 353lbs.
    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey0UVew1xNc&feature=related[/ame]

    Kaoklai had some giant balls getting in that ring and landed a beatiful head kick (How the ****?) that HMC just shrugged off.

    Yep i thought it was more big underdog against a big opponent. I thought Big Nog would of been a big betting favorite against Sapp.
