For me it was Werdum vs Miocic, when the match was made I knew Miocic was a NIGHTMARE match up for Werdum.

I knew Werdum improved his striking a lot but Miocic is a far better boxer and way more athletic than Werdum and also I knew Miocic wrestling and fight IQ would have been enough to nullify Werdum's jew jit su.

Werdum was a decent favorite going into the fight and most people were picking him but I knew Miocic was gonna fuck him up pretty bad, I was praying someone pulled out and the fight be cancelled.

However I never expected the the fight to go the way it did, that KO shook me to the core.

Stipe vs Ngannou 2. It wasn't just me though, everyone predicted it including DC.
 
Mirko vs Fedor. Also had a bad feeling about Shogun vs Jones lol especially since Shogun was coming off yet another knee injury and Jones was a completely different style matchup than the original opponent Shadface
 
Couture Liddel 3. Frankie vs Aldo, Ortega and Holloway. DC vs Miocic 3. Ninja vs Sergei( complete fuck up.. a mw against a true hw with bricks for hands).
 
Machida vs Jones by a mile.

Machida Era is still real to me dammit!

Used to be a big Diego fan back in the day. But, I knew Penn was going to kick his ass. I was hoping maybe Diego could land a lucky power shot or something
