Sorta fun http://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/18900076/mma-bracket-vote-best-ufc-fight-all

i voted with the majority 5x, against the majority twice, and abstained once (neither 8th nor 9th seed belong here).

and what's with Rory v Lawler being ranked #7??? crazy.

Twice against the majority.

Hunt vs Bigfoot

Silva vs Chael

Once against the majority. I can't fathom putting Guida-Diego above Hughes-Trigg 2. My guess is that there are a lot of new fans who haven't seen or can't fully appreciate the context of Hughes-Trigg 2. I'm a full-fledged Hughes hater, but his slam of Trigg was one of the greatest moments in UFC history.

Rory-Lawler is too low. Much too low.

Anderson-Chael is far too high. I think people romanticize this fight because of the finish, but it was generally 5 rounds of Chael sitting in guard staying active but doing no damage.

I'd also say that Edgar-Maynard 3 and Aldo-Mendes 2 deserve consideration.
