    Pride - Wandy vs Hendo II, Wandy vs Rampage II, Fedor vs Nog I, Fedor vs Cro Cop, Nog vs Herring I, Nog vs Cro Cop

    UFC - Couture vs Rizzo I, Arlovski vs Sylvia II, Couture vs Gonzaga, Lesnar vs Carwin, Ortiz vs Frank Shamrock, Liddell vs Couture I, Rampage vs Forrest

    The majority of the great title fights IMO have took place at 170 and below.

    I didnt do any picks for PRIDE but jimmie pretty much nailed it. Id add Nog v Sapp just for the pure drama of it, and does Wandy v Yoshida 1 count as a title fight. Dont think it does as it was for a GP, but it's one I enjoyed

    Was Wandy Vs Yoshida I a title fight or part of a GP? Loved it when Yoshida threw Wandy! One of my favourite MMA moments, was it Ori Goshi? (spelling?)

    Either way, Yoshida showed massive balls in that fight. It was a great all-round fight and I still love watching it now.

    Tito Ortiz vs Frank Shamrock was a fight generations ahead of its time , a great fight showing just how good Frank was in his hey day

    Fedor vs Noguerra 1 & 3 are my particular favourites @HW , for opposite reasons

    Liddell vs Ortiz 2 , was a modern classic

    Rampage vs Griffin , i personally loved this fight and i watch it quite often

    Couture vs Sylvia , if your a Couture fan it has to be a must (circumstantially)

    Machida vs Shogun 1 , if you like that sort of thing ofcourse

    I like Liddell vs Ortiz 2

    Heavyweight my dream match
    Fedor vs Arlovski--been wanting to see this fight since both were champions in pride and ufc. Glad to finally see it and it didn't disappoint

    Not a title fight but the liddell vs Silva fight was awesome. Wish they could have met in their prime but that fight was still very good.
