Best back to back wins?

Sokoudjou vs. Nogueria and Arona, if for no other reason than no one thought either would happen.

For the same reason. Houston Alexander vs. Jardine and Sakara.
 
Topuria beat Emmet, Volk and then knocked out Max fucking Holloway.

This run is mind boggling. Volk and Holloway were both ranked #1 and #2 for their fight and are both top 5 all-time FWs.
 
Says a lot about Sherdog here that nobody wants to say Weidman beating Silva 2x in a row.
Then beat Machida. That's a good one too.
If the vitor he beat was TRT Vitor, that four fight streak would have been legendary.
 
Fedor running through Herring and Nog when he did was somethin somethin

If you watched PRIDE at the time these were the #1 and #2 guys, and the other russians who were from RTT (other than Sergei who showed up after) were seen as tough but outmatched guys when it came to the skills

Maybe taking down and dominated Schilt was plausible but beating the fucking shit out of Herring and Nog was really impressive.

Heath herring will always have his special place in mma history with the Kiss Nakao incident.
 
I don't fully agree.

Volkanovski was nowhere near 100% in the Makhacheve rematch, and even if he was fully physically recovered from that loss, his mindset was not. Volkanovski is one of the greatest FWs of all time and the best version of him could beat anyone in history on any given night.

Still an incredible pair of victories.

At risk of looking stupid, I still think volk has a decent shot in the rematch with the right gameplan, but obviously topuria should be the favorite at this point in their career.

100% agree
 
Charles beating Chandler, Gaethje, and Poirier. At the end of a 10 plus fight winning streak.
