What true Superfight has UFC made happen?

[Pastinaca1]

Now that I think about it, every time a potential super fight can happen, UFC almost never have the ability to make it true.

Gsp vs Bj Penn happened

Khabib vs Conor is arguably a super fight, because if it never happened people would be talking a loooot about how that fight would have gone.

But other than that what we got?

Fedor vs Couture? No
Fedor vs Lesnar? No
GSP vs Anderson? No
Jones vs Ngannou? No
Khabib vs GSP? No

And I am sure there are so many other that I am forgetting now.

BTW I am still waiting for Dana making up for that UFC 112 fiasco in Abu Dhabi. He promised that he will make up for the fans and we are still waiting.

You’re still bitter about 112???

Shouldn’t DC / Jones count? And DC moving up and fighting Stipe?

 

[Kvothe_the_kingkiller]

Too many. And I look forward to ending this stupid 'champ champ' era and having champions dominate the old fashioned way - by dominating a division for years.

I know the UFC sucks, if only you were running shit, all of these fights would've happened

 

[WaylonMercy5150]

BJ Penn v CM Punk

 

[Rvd Slmr]

I consider any champ vs champ fight as a superfight, so I'd add Nunes vs Cyborg and Cejudo vs Cruz.

Edit : and obviously Jan vs Adesanya.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Closest thing might have been GSP vs Penn.

Super fights are too hard to come by In the UFC due to fighters having relatively short primes and/or lack of talent

I know people will name shit like JJ vs DC or Stipe vs DC being super fights but they aren't. DC just got kod by Jon not two fights prior to Stipe. He was nearing 40 years old and growing in obesity. To top things off he had a bad back which is why choose to stand with stipe.

 

[FIGHTING TALK]

UFC made plenty.

Bisping vs GSP
Diaz vs Markham
Anderson vs Irvin

 

[TheBrownGosling]

TJ vs Triple C

 

[Rajon Rondo]

Fedor vs Lesnar and GSP vs Silva would be one sided fights

You aren't?!?!?

DC was a hw when he started so I don't see anything special in that but not that I'm typing this he was champ at 205 at the time so I guess I'll give that to you.

 

[websurfer]

Didn't we just have Israel Adesanya vs Jan Blachowic.

 

[kflo]

You aren't?!?!?

I asked because I didn’t realize there were others out there like me. Now I feel all:

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

Needs more birds. Damn, we've finally achieved appropriate avian levels.
