[Arm Barbarian]

Shogun / Hendo

Shit was a bloodbath.

 

[Danespina]

Silva/Sonnen. Oh man.

 

[Danespina]

2 - Shogun vs Henderson I

Shogun / Hendo

Shit was a bloodbath.

Rematch was nearly as crazy. Doesn't get enough love.

 

[BC]

Silva vs Sonnen hands down

This would have been me:

 

[joeyjoejoe]

Silva vs Jackson 2 always wanted to go to Japan.

 

[Kung Fu bb]

Silva/Sonnen. Oh man.

Yeah.

 

[WARPENN24]

Shogun/Hendo for sure.

My brothers were at Silva/Sonnen and said that s#!t was nuts.

 

[Oliver Clothesoff]

Being "in the Arena" isn't all it's cracked up to be. Especially if the fight goes to the Ground.

 

[TheGrouch]

Spider/Chael, followed closely by Lawler/Rory...if I had close seats.

 

[James Vang]

I was there live for the event. Close to halfway thru the 5th rd, about 1/5 the crowd started to leave. When Silva pulled off the submission, the crowd came running back in. Epic moment.

 

[Mondo Freaks]

I was there live in Oakland for UFC 117. It was amazing

 

[Deleted member 468727]

Silva vs Sonnen 1 for sure, greatest finish in mma history imo

 

[Animus Necandi]

Wanderlei vs Rampage II for sure.

Shogun vs Arona close in second place, though not an option given in the thread

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

Silva vs Sonnen

 

[VVarhead]

Silva vs Sonnen

 

[LTorino]

Rory/Lawler, since that whole card was amazing and had Mendes/McGregor, as well. The shock of Silva-Sonnen 1 must have been something special, but the bad guy won in the end. Well, Sonnen is not a good guy, but I think most wanted to see Silva get his comeuppance for his antics against Maia. When I've re-watched that fight, I just turn it off in the 5th round.

 

[Striderx5]

Was there for 2 of those 5

 

[Fists of Fire]

Was there for Shogun/Hendo.

 

[Magx951]

rory/lawler hands down.

That fucking staredown they give eachother at the end of the round will always be burned into my brain.
