In 2 months itll be the decade anniversary of the gureatest prospect fight in UFC history.
Frankie was a 6-0 LW in his 2nd year of MMA, having beaten Jim Miller (white whale fight in MMA, before either were top guys) and Deividas (underrated win).
Tyson was an 8-0 LW, already had TKO wins over Faber and Bang but in his 3rd year of MMA and very much a prospect, even more highly touted than Frankie at the time and was supposed to get next @ LW before all the injuries and troubles.
They put on an A B S O L U T E C L A S S I C. It was a FOTY contender in 2007, absolutely amazing fight and arguably Frankies most exciting overall fight of his career (which is saying alot considering all the wars hes been in, specially Gray 2 and 3). To this day still one of the GOAT LW fights.
The only prospect fight in general on its level is Benson/Cowboy 1 but that was in WEC.
