All GSP/Khabib's opponents

holloway/ortega: ortega got striking lessons from max in the middle of a fight

[zr1vette]

All GSP/Khabib's opponents

Beat me to it. Both guys have skills everywhere. Been saying for a long time that Khabib's striking is much better than he gets credit for. He uses the right style for someone with his wresting abilities.

Ortega vs zombie

My father believes the tougher guy always wins. And I'm trying to show him it's about skill

You’re both correct. There’s plenty of examples of a fighter simply out-toughing another fighter. That’s the beauty of MMA; so many different ways to win.

Show him every Roy Nelson loss.

 

[Eric Silva 2.0]

Go

The fights where there was a loser.

Ryan hall over bj? I hate myself for this answer

 

[Eric Silva 2.0]

Izzy on top there reminds me of Jon Jones before USADA.

 

[Prologue]

I'm going to take a shot at guessing the intention of the OP's question, and assume we're talking about two similar opponents where one was outskilled "at their own game".

Mousasi vs MacDonald for me is the best example. They both looked pretty much the same kind of fighter, except Mousasi was just better at everything in every way.

A fan of both fighters, but it was kind of hard to watch MacDonald in that situation. At least it wasn't against a fighter I hate I suppose.
