yeh noguiera vs shogun was sooooooooo good... and a few takanori gomi fights also..... i would have to say the best mma fights ive seen (most action) were mostly in the good old days of PRIDE
Some of my favorites, in no particular, order were: Thiago Tavares vs. Tyson Griffin- disagreed with decision, but great match David Abbott vs. Oleg Taktarov- "no fish-hooking" made its first appearance in the rules after this fight Hughes vs. Trigg I- great wrestler vs. wrestler fight Cung Le vs. Frank Shamrock- Out with the old in with the new, or is it a different fight if Frank learns proper way to defend kick and avoid a broken arm? The back and forth of the 3rd was awesome.
I'll contribute some of my candidates ... -Dan Severn vs. Tank Abbot - Severn battered, ends up choking out an exhausted Abbot -Couture vs. Belfort (1) - Couture, despite being the a HUGE underdog, outboxes and outwrestles the young Phenom, stopping him -Royce Gracie vs. Kimo - Gracie, despite some difficulty, pulls out the armbar -Keith Hackney vs. Emanuel Yarbarough - One of the most ridiculous matches in history, must see television. Hackney overcomes HUGE size disadvantage. -Yves Edwards vs. Josh Thompson - The most ridiculous head kick knockout I have ever seen. Wow.
Severn beat Abbott by boring decision, and was never battered. I believe you're thinking of Don Frye vs. Tank Abbott. It was brief, but sounds more like what you described.
CroCop vs Noguiera Fedor vs Noguiera 3 Crocop vs Fedor Sakuraba vs Royce Wanderlei vs Rampage 1 Wanderlei vs Rampage 2 Shogun vs Lil Noguiera Couture vs Sylvia Cyborg vs Manhoef Barnett vs Noguiera 1 Barnett vs Noguiera 2 Hughes vs Trigg 2 Liddell vs Rampage 1 BJ vs Hughes 2 Noguiera vs Sylvia Frye vs Takayama
Diaz v Gomi, anyone? Sell v Smith Frye v Takayama Edwards owns 2 of the most spectacular finishes ever in MMA
Yeah, good fight but those two *******s were both exhausted. Cyborg didn't even know he lost. He was still tryin to win after he had already been deemed KO'd. Pretty good.
Doesnt matter! What you get with Manhoef is unbridled excitement in ALL of his bouts wether he loses or not. The man is an Animal!
Classic Vale Tudo that one. Watching this fight should inspire anyone to want to fight - because Macaco and Pele's women are FINE!
