    I was thinking Fedor needed to be on the list somewhere, and Id probably go for the Cro Cop fight. But then Id have to spend 5 minute explaining why these two fighters are so great, the historic importance, the anticipation ect and when you do that sometimes a fight doesn't quite live up to expectations. And I think the drama of Nog v Cro Cop speaks for itself in terms of just putting it on and watching it. To go from eating a LHK at the end on the 1st to getting Mirko to tap still gives me goosebumps when I watch that, and it's Nogs greatest moment imo. Then maybe surprise them with the fight against a slightly overweight little Russian guy beating Nog's head into the canvas as an intro to Fedor

    And I think I have watched Frye v Tak a thousand times :lol:

    The opening minutes of that fight were so epic it just begs belief that a fight could take place like that and actually be within any rules. :lol:
    It was interesting to see the interviews with other PRIDE fighters after the fight as most of them were going nuts at the back. Especially Josh Barnett. Bas was going crazy. No one had ever seen anything like that before.

    I have a friend who's a very casual MMA fan and practices Wu-Shu. Soon as i showed him that fight he wanted my entire PRIDE collection.

    Mark Hunt Vs Wanderlei Silva = Two Legends in a close fight! Hunt wins against a prime Wandy.

    Mark Hunt Vs Mirko Cro Cop = Two Legends in a close fight again! Hunt wins against a prime Cro Cop the year before he won the GP!

    Mark Hunt Vs Fedor Emelianenko = Hunt loses to Fedor :verysad At this point Fedor was the baddest man on the planet!

    Mark Hunt Vs Chris Tuchscherer = The comeback of a true legend... and he did it in style!

    :lol: Yep, but when I watched it the first time everything about it just seemed so epic, like I was watching some encounter that goes beyond MMA or some ****, I was entertained the whole way through.

    Plus their watching it whether they like it or not :good.


    Just remembered Murilo Ninja vs Mario Sperry should be there on my list too.
