Best Fights That HAD/HAVE To happen

[CanMMAfan84]

Alright, admins... Think this thread is a repeat or what have you, do what you need to do.

We’ve all been there.. When you first find out that a fight that you’ve all wanted is made official, I bet you said to yourself or to someone else, “That fight just HAD to be made!” just because of the promoting possibilities or jokes or what have you.

So which ones are the best that have happened or want to see happen?

For me, I’m gonna say Cerrone v Oliveira for the guys because of the cowboy vs cowboy thing and Joanna vs Shevchenko for the gals AND because of their past history in Muay Thai.

Chuck vs Wanderlei as stated above was years in the making.

Overeem vs JDS was another, every man and his dog thought at the time that Overeem was ducking JDS, me included.

A fight that didn't happen: Wanderlei vs Shogun in Pride although that didn't happen due to obvious reasons.
