Are there any fights that you think should have been on this list but aren't?

 

[OneManGang]

Ben Askren vs Masvidal
Great fight for all the right reasons. Memorable too.

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

Kewl.

 

[Reign009]

Pretty good picks. I've seen so many damn fights it's hard to recall, lol.

 

[Deleted member 510653]

Ross Peterson vs Jorge Masvidal is up there too

 

[Dorkman]

I can see it. I'm certainly no WMMA supporter. But that was one of the fights that absolutely delivered as well as any male fight could. Those ladies have earned the respect.

 

[Handsome Bruce]

It is a great fight. I have no problem with it being considered in the top 10 of all time.

 

[Make Sherdog Great Again]

Maybe Aldo vs Mini Mendes 2.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Robbie Lawler, what a beauty.

Just Bleed Jesus



Lawler vs MacDonald II is for sure at the top for me, hands down.
As far as UFC 248: Weili Zhang vs Joanna Jedrzejczyk goes, I don't mind. It was fucking great, and the ones I remember the most are already in that top 10 so, why not

 

[Emjay]

It wasn't even a great fight

 

[PurpleStorm]

Great list.
Those fights were all amazing.
My brain is pretty fried and I can't think of any more to add.
Thanks for sharing @Better Every Day.
Happy new year to you & everyone here!

 

[TITS]

Zhang vs Joanna - Most overrated fight of the decade.

 

[Touch Butt]

I'd Have Whittaker v Romero 2 ahead of Silva v Sonnen.

[sabretitan]

That lost is accurate

 

[TJ177]

I thought Poirer-Mac at 236 was better than Izzy-Gastelum from same card.

Andy-Sonnen had a dramatic finish but didn't feel like a fight I'd call great.

Bug Rigg had a bunch of good fights.

Are there any fights that you think should have been on this list but aren't?

Eddie vs Gaethje should be on honorable mention.

Yoel vs Whittaker 2 is top 10 over at least Cejudo/DJ 2 & Jones/Gust 1 which has become the most overrated fight of all-time at this point.

 

[Fight Professor]

Ben Askren vs Masvidal
Great fight for all the right reasons. Memorable too.

Askren might only be a good fighter against handpicked opponents but his fights are exciting.

 

[Satan's Daddy.]

How can people forget about Amanda Nunez dethroning Cris Cyborg?

 

[Perry Willits]

Don Frye vs Yoshihiro Takayama : The Greatest MMA Fight Ever !!!.s - YouTube

Yes! What a war!!
