Was there a bigger saved by the bell moment than Shields vs Mayhem?

[BC]

Other ones that come to mind are Matt Hughes vs GSP 2, and against BJ Penn 2 when BJ had him in that triangle, and Cody vs TJ.

 

[Ascent]

Recent one that comes to mind is Silva vs. Bisping.
There was absolutely no way of Bisping surviving more than a couple of seconds there, while shields could've somehow toughed it through... in theory at least.

Bisping was practically KO’d, gutsy performance from Left Hook Larry

Where's my rematch buddy?!

 

[FloydMayweatherMMA]

End of the first round of Garbrandt - Dillashaw. Couple more seconds and Cody would have had him out of there.

Incredible to think that TJ became champ about five minutes after he was almost KO'd.

[michi972]

Cormier vs Oezdemir, Piechota in his ufc debut had submission tight at the ond of the round and in another round knockdown at the end

 

[Y2Khaos]

Sean O'Malley vs Soukhamthath. He literally couldn't even stand at the end of round 3. Not really the "biggest" ever though.

 

[Gyro]

Penn vs Pulver 1 and Yoel vs Kennedy come to mind

 

[Beerus]

Shields beat maia on the ground he ain't tapping to Goofball Mayhem.

 

[Johnsonville]

Shields beat maia on the ground he ain't tapping to Goofball Mayhem.

Mayhem was a very very talented grappler, goofball.

Miller was genuinely crafty with absolute moments of genius on the ground. Personally, I think he was always better served in a ring, but damn that meteoric downfall was "Jones-esque like in his performance, Joe."

Where's my rematch buddy?!

He's always lurking

Tito on machida

 

[GSP_37]

Mayhem stopped a bunch of dudes via BJJ. Shields would have been a good feather in his cap.

Jorge Gurgel should have been saved by the bell, but KJ KTFO'd him after the bell.

 

[DarkneT]

Yoel and Kennedy? Duh

 

[pick999]

Shields beat maia on the ground he ain't tapping to Goofball Mayhem.

maia won that fight imo shields look terrible in the last round

 

[Naught2Sixty]

Yoel/Kennedy pops into mind. Also round 1 Swanson/Ortega.

 

[120wrestling]

End of the first round of Garbrandt - Dillashaw. Couple more seconds and Cody would have had him out of there.

TJ would have survived that

 

[Rvd Slmr]

The opposite would be Sonnen vs Jones, where Jones would have lost by doctor stoppage if the fight had reached the bell.

 

[IloveTHIS]

Shields was probably fucked there. Like 92% likely.

However like another poster mentioned, Bisping was 137% fucked against Anderson. If Anderson immediately started gnp'ing him for 2 seconds it would have been stopped


edit: Also so cringey watching Anderson celebrate on and on when it wasnt stopped lol
