anything like ali\frazier 3?

Shogun-Hendo

 

I'm surprised this has only been mentioned once, it's the first thing I thought of.

 

MMA fights tend to be quite 'cagey', both guys are afraid to commit because it doesn't take much to get knocked out with the tiny gloves. There are a few though, mostly in the lower weight classes though because they don't hit as hard, Chan Sung Jung vs Leonard Garcia I was really good. Horrible technique but a good exciting brawl.


Maynard vs Edgar II was also great, I haven't seen the 3rd one yet but I hear it was good too. Obviously these aren't up to par with Ali-Frazier for me anyway but that is probably a little bias on my part.

 

I don't think he is discussing a great trilogy but more a hellacious fight that goes right down to the wire. Mind you, Edgar-Maynard III was give and take and went into the 4th round.

 

Cancel everything and get on it. It's awesome. Probably better than I and II.

 

II fits that pretty well, and there'll be arguments forever over who should've got the nod. And III was touch and go for Frankie up until the finish. Combine them into one fight and that's a hell of a roller coaster.

 

Same here there my 2 fave mma fights! But for me nothin tops a great boxing match!

 

Also just thought of Pettis/Henderson. That fight was back and forth the whole way and it easily could've gone either way, right up until that kick.

 

That is what makes the kick even more amazing!

 

i liked Parisyan vs Sanchez

wasnt as brutal but pretty good back and fourth. close fight

 

In terms of action, high-level quality of fighting and historical significance, Penn-Hughes 2 is a good watch. Two ATGs close enough to their primes that the fighting was tremendous quality. And it finished with a satisfying and definitive ending, even though not everybody was impressed by the performance.
