The most violent championship taking in UFC history

[Shay Brennan]

I'll mention:
Jon Jones vs Mauricio Rua.
Shogun got crushed to bits. He got elbowed, kneed and punched into submission. This might be the best one.

Cain Velasquez vs Brock Lesnar

Short but decisieve beatown of the biggest star in the sport at that time.

Nunes vs Cyborg
Nunes ended Cyborgs 10 year undefeated streak and beat her in the way Cyborg demolishes her opponents. SHe lured her in with heavy leg kicks and countered. Cyborg kept walking and swinging like crazy before getting dropped face down ass up.

 

[Justin Sider]

Anderson Silva vs Rich Franklin comes to mind.

 

[Masturbin]

Jones made him tap to strike but the fight was so disturbing that no one even shat on shogun for it.

 

[CroCopsLHK]

Figuiredo vs Benavidaz for vacant 125

 

[Chomsky Honk]

thats jones vs bader

 

[IndyCovaHart]

Jones v Shogun was the first thing that came to mind.

I really wasn’t on board with the Bones hype until I couldn’t hold out any longer. Lol

 

[PunchyMcSplodo]

Cain vs Junior 2. Such a relentless, brutal 5-round beatdown.

Rockhold vs Weidman (thanks to Herb Dean being in Just Bleed mode for the later rounds)

Dillashaw vs Barao

 

[FEDORFAN44]

Jones vs shogun
Silva vs Franklin
Rockhold vs weidman
Hendo vs Wanderlei in pride

Rockhold vs Weidman (thanks to Herb Dean being in Just Bleed mode for the later rounds)

Dillashaw vs Barao

Dillashaw vs Barao is def up there

 

[StoneColdSteveAustin]

Jones almost killed Shogun Rua. That was a horrible beating

 

[Shay Brennan]

Figuiredo vs Benavidaz for vacant 125

If we'll include vacant title fights. Then I'll add Yan vs Aldo

Didn't BJ win the vacant LW championship in the Stevenson fight? That was violent. The ending of Jones/DC 2 was violent as fuck.

Actually DC/Rumble 1 is a very underrated beatdown.

And pretty much all the HW title changes are very violent lol. The latest one, Stipe/Ngannou 2... Just damn.

What???

Clearly you weren't on Sherdog back then? Shogun got shit on relentlessly for tapping to strikes against Jones. It's been the major talking point of Shogun haters for the last 10 years.

 

[13Seconds]

I know the GSP tapping to strikes GIF has been posted alot, but people forget how fucking ferocious Serra was in that fight.

While we're at it, GSP slamming his knees on Serras ribs over and over again while Serra is in fetal position is violent. Very very violent.

Oh yeah I wasn't on the dog at the time.
Didn't know that I assumed most people though he was justified

 

[Benoitthegr8]

Chael and Weidman are the spinning shit fail GOATs

 

[drummr]

The Jones vs Shogun beating for sure, that was insane. Not sure anyone expected it to go down the way it did.

Back in the day, there were a ton of delusional Shogun haters on here. Looking back, they were probably just trolling, but yeah, the main talking point for Shogun bashing was tapping out to strikes.

 

[JonJonesNeedle]

Bloated LW BJJ Midget Matt Serra beating the piss out of the GOAT GSP to the point where the syrup sucker tapped to strikes.
