best unbeaten vs unbeaten fight?

Machida vs Thiago Silva. There was a lot of hype behind that fight. It was the title eliminator, and both guys were 13-0.

They were polar opposites. Thiago Silva was this aggressive finisher with a scary look, while Machida was this calm, methodical and almost mythical fighter that seemed impossible to solve.

The fight turned out to be one sided, but it had a great buzzer beater KO and a classic Yves Lavigne moment where he stared at the unconscious body of Thiago for a solid 5 seconds, pondering whether he should have the half dead Thiago continue, before calling the fight

I mean, it’s pretty clear that the answer is GOAT heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko vs undefeated wrecking machine Brett “Da Grim” Rogers.
 
Lyoto Machida vs Rashad Evans was a huge one for me. Was the first PPV I watched live.

Currently right now what I'd like to see most in terms of unbeaten is perhaps Movsar Evloev vs Ilia Topuria or Mokaev vs Taira.
 
Forgot about that was thinking about his UFC record.

Maybe Rashad Vs Lyoto then?
I think if we’re being literal, and counting Jones’ loss to Hammill against him, then yeah Rashad-Lyoto is a really good pick.
