A random banger nobody ever talks about

[Black Blood]

Matt Schnell vs Su Mudaerji. The last act of this fight astonished me

Right? Schnell used up the last of his chin in that one.

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

Robbie Lawler vs Aaron Riley

 

[EndlessCritic]

Not often enough is the only acceptable answer.

The problem was that back in 2005, it was considered uncool to think Forrest vs Bonnar was a great fight, because all the "real" MMA fans knew that Shogun vs Lil Nog 1 was the way better fight.

The reality is both were great fights, and the elitism towards "TUF noobs" was out of control.

Fuck I feel old.

Alex Oliveria vs Yancy Merderio

There are so many hidden gems ,Diego vs nick and Karo. Big foot- hunt 1 came to mind

 

[Eternalwarriorking]

A few others that had me gasping at points. Apologies if they're still a bit too fresh/notable. They're around the Drew Dober level for their under-the-radar to notability ratio.

Kutateladze vs Brenner
Robocop vs Njokuani
Rececki vs Orolbai
CDF vs Gregor Gillespie
Menifeld vs Crute 1

I daresay Menifeld vs Crute 1 is the best offering I can put up without scouring old cards for nominations!

 

[Shockpsykos]

Jim Miller vs Joe Lauzon 1

 

[drphil]

Liddell vs Wanderlie

It was hidden in the main event?

 

[Substance Abuse]

We used to talk about it, though it's rarely mentioned nowadays, but Condit/Miura was the shit.

Paul Kelly/Paul Taylor is a banger too.

Santiago/Misaki II as well.

Hansen/Azeredo, Maia/MacDonald.

 

[wh4tttt]

Brad riddell and Rafael fiziev

 

[HHJ]

Lil Nog vs Alistair Overeem II

 

[TITS]

So many...too many to mention. With all the fight cards happening so frequently, it's easy to forget the more obscure ones.

One of my all-time favorites will always be Yancy vs Brazilian Cowboy. Fucking INSANE banger from start to finish.

 

[Neck&Neck]

I love random banging, I mean banging randoms

 

[Haj01]

Just let me bang bro. Just let me bang...

 

[Trabaho]

Banger ?

Matt Schnell vs Su Mudaerji. The last act of this fight astonished me

I've never seen a fight go from standard-mma-fight to sreech-inducing carnage like that fight did. Rewatch it frequently, Schnell sadly was a badass with a non-badass chin. Shame because his boxing and general fight approach was entertaining as hell

Hansen/Azeredo, Maia/MacDonald.

I'd forgotten about Taylor/Kelly. Watching that gives me that "MMA new feeling" nostalgia as that's basically the time I cottoned on to MMA

It was hidden in the main event?

Totally hidden, it was a fight no one ever talks about. This was an insanley big superfight. (Pride's LHW champ vs UFC LHW Champ) and till today I dont know why its been not discussed more. Was not a bad fight at all.

Polo Reyes vs Dong Hyun Kim

 

[VinceArch]

Sean Sherk vs Tyson Griffin.
