20 days after UFC 217, do you think it was the best card ever?

[FastSmith7]

So do you? And if not... what's your top 3
Mine would be
217 - By far the best for me, underdogs winning all over... Masividal Wonderboy would be worthy of its own card, let alone JJ Rose, Tj Cody and GSP Bisping... all 3 main even fights left me speechless
52 - Insane card with GSP just coming back off the loss to Hughes, I thought he wouldn't be anything special back then, Randy - Chuck Hughes - Trigg
92 - Just an insane card.....

I'm still feeling the buzz from it, so yeah, probably.

 

[Mask Of Winters]

I'm even more convinced now than I was at the time when I made approximately half a dozen posts/threads declaring it as such.

Hell, just look at all the hot garbage that's happened in and out of the octagon since!

 

[JimmyJumper]

189

 

[Danespina]

I'd just say it's top 5.

 

[yekmurat]

I can easily count at least 20 much better events

 

[Otto!]

It’s way up there for me.

 

[Mask Of Winters]

I can easily count at least 20 much better events

I'd rather you name them.

 

[MiroHa]

It was the best Reebok era card since 189.

[UFC=Pride]

The goat returned yep I'd say it's one of the best cards ever

 

[Kung Fu bb]

Yes, 217 was incredible, probably the best. But UFC 100 was dope too. Look at Jones in there too, just a young prospect.
The 3 main event were crazy too.
The legenday H-Bomb on Bisping. Prime GSP vs prime pitbull. And Brock vs Mir, one of the biggest HW rivalry.

 

[Rav7n]

God no...
It was OK but best ever.

 

[Blayt7hh]

A lot of newer fans probably won't want to hear this, but there are quite a few Pride cards that were way more exhilarating to watch unfold.

I'm a HUGE GSP nuthugger though (and to a lesser extent, Bisping) so 217 was a fucking epic event from me. People I knew from over like the last 15 years were lightning up my phone with texts about the fight as it happened, since I have always been such a big GSP fan. I loved it. All the supporting fights were epic that night too. It's in the top 5 UFC cards no doubt. I would probably put UFC 84 and UFC 100 ahead of it though. And top 5 out of the like 500 UFC events that have happened is pretty God damned impressive.

 

[Codpiece]

Top 5, sure. Not the best IMO, but sometimes the experience is impacted by intangibles like the buzz before a fight one's been anticipating. If someone was a huge GSP fan I could see that putting 217 over anything else.

Should be just as easy for you to list them.

 

[Sapp]

God no...
It was OK but best ever.

 

[brickhands]

top 10 for me

 

[Aforo88]

No

 

[MacGregor]

Don't remember cards really, only fights, unless it was a tourney like uu2. 217 was epic though. UFC camera crew/production team desrves credit as well, especially after each ko. Awesome show.
