    No. Maybe Newton over Shield and Diaz, but not Condit.

    Silva Vs Maia.

    Doesn't even deserve a post this fight. Just wanted people to know I'd watched it

    Wanderlei Vs Bisping.

    This fight was actually a lot closer than I thought it was. The first two rounds were very competitive and so was the third up until the big flurry by Wanderlei.

    I'd always believed Bisping was a bit in awe at his opposition and was outclassed but that isn't the case.

    Silva Vs Chonnen

    Well this was a fight. For 4 and a half rounds Sonnen smacked Silva around like a powerhouse wrestler on PEDS.

    He dropped him numerous times and dominated the grappling.

    This wasn't competitive, this was a systematic beatdown.

    But Silva has the most under rated ground game in MMA history. He's a black belt in Jits and he showed all his skillset to pull a victory from the jaws of defeat.

    Sonnen had mount and was doing light punches to see out the round, Silva broke his posture and rather than try to base again Sonnen tried punching from a poor posture position, Silva stuffs his arm and locks in a triangle to force the tap.

    Dramatic finish.

    Really? Get on them, mate! You will love them.

    Hughes/Trigg II
    GSP/Hughes I & II
    Arlovski/Sylvia (all of them)

    Those are all worth a watch as well.

    Hell yes. Wandy did great in them, proved he wasn't past it. Not going to ruin it by telling you the outcome. I actually like Franklin a lot as a fighter. He's a good technical guy.

    I've seen most significant fights from 93 to 2010, I'm watching in chronological order hence this thread.

    Franklin Vs Wanderlei 1.

    Never realised how competitive this fight was. Maybe I was wrong in writing Silva off as shot. He's not the beast he was in the early 00's but he's clearly still a world class fighter.

    I'm not gonna call this a robbery but very easily we could have seen Silva take this decision. The 2nd and 3rd could easily have gone his way

    Rua Vs Machida 2.

    With this fight Shogun established himself as the best LHW in history for me. Would like to see him face Griffin again but I've a hard time picturing Forrest taking the W again.

    This is 5 years after his big GP win as well.

    What a great win.

    I think both deserve credit for the first fight. Rua proved he wasn't over the hill, Machida demonstrated again he belongs at the top level.
