    These are Just 5 That Come To Mind For Me:

    1. Royce Gracie winning 1st ever UFC Tournament.
    It was a tournament his family wanted and organized to prove they had the best fighting style. He went in and won it by finishing all of his opponents, 2 inside a minute.

    Royce Gracie = Badass

    2. Rampage owning Chuck in Pride, then Silva owning Rampage.
    Dana White brought Chuck Liddel over to Pride to compete, and wagered $250k on him to win the MW tournament, and to prove he was the best in the world. His plans (and pants) were spoiled when Rampage gave Chuck a beating. Later in the tournament Wandy destroyed Rampage to win the tournament.

    Rampage = Badass
    Wandy = Badder Badass

    3. BJ Penn moving up to WW and Submitting Hughes.
    Penn was a lightweight. Hughes was looked at as one of the best fighters in the world, and unbeatable at WW. His style was such, that the thought of a smaller man beating him was absurd. Penn moved up and dominated him, submitting him, and then licking Hughes's blood from his gloves.

    Badass = Penn

    4. Aldo Coming out to 'Run this Town' in Sacramento
    Jose Aldo and Uriah Faber fought in "The California Kid"s hometown of Sacramento. Aldo entered the cage to Jay Z "Run This Town" sending a clear message to the fans and to Faber. Then proceeded to punish Faber over the 5 round fight, taking a crystal clear decision. In a fight that it appeared Aldo was allowing Faber to finish.

    Badass = Aldo

    5. Hendo Posterizes Bisping
    After an entire Ultimate Fighter series of Bisping talking **** to Hendo. Hendo had kept his mouth shut, and let his fists talk. Hendo delivered one of the best one punch KO's in the history of the sport, and put Bisping back in his place.

    Badass = Hendo.

    That is a pretty good list actually :D

    Hughes Penn 1 is an obvious choice for every fan

    Barboza's spinning heel kick on Terry Etim (sorry mate) is a stand out! Silva Belfort & Couture Machida (are in this stratosphere).

    Shogun has a highlight reel of bad ass moments in MMA, as does Dan Henderson! to that end so does BJ Penn.

    If it wasnt for the ridiculous carry on after the slam Tito would be in my list for his slam on Evan Tanner. Matt Hughes Carlos Newton is there with this.

    Further to that Frank Shamrock having Tito in a quivering mess on the ground despite being outsized roughly 2 weight classes.

    But my definitive number one bad ass moment can only go to Rampage! he would be my #1

    I'd say Fedor beating the **** out of Nog to everyone's surprise was pretty badass.

    Some more good ones:

    Fedor getting slammed on his head by Randleman only to catch him in a kimura moments later.

    Old Man Sakuraba getting smashed by Zelg Galesic for what seemed like a lifetime while going for a leglock, and then actually pulling it off.

    Hendo going up to HW and knocking out Fedor was pretty badass.

    Ninja Rua smiling during the staredown against try-hard tough guy Tony Bonello.
