Can it be considered the longest spanning trilogy in combat sports history?

FYI, Sugar Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran fought 3 times in a span of 10 years.

What say you, Just Bleed historians?

Only trilogy that is close to that is Vitor/Hendo.

Royce vs Ken i guess, but that fight never should have been made.

I wonder if technically those 3 fights were in different sports: 1st is Vale Tudo, 2nd is NHB, 3rd is MMA.

Chuck Tito gonna take it by years end.

I don't think so.

Royce Gracie and Ken Shamrock fought on:
November 12, 1993 (UFC 1)
April 7, 1995 (UFC 5)
February 19, 2016 (Bellator 149)

That's 22 years, 3 months and 7 days.
