Favourite fight that you got to attend live ?

[andy18_1]

Title says it all, what is your favourite fight you went to see live and why ?
Personally my favourite was Shogun vs Machida II.. Getting to watch my favourite fighter win the title and be the first to beat Machida and avenge his previous loss to him was pretty awesome. What are yours?

 

[shococham]

My friend Jamie and this kid Matt who lived down the street. Two hacks but it was a slugfest. Unfortunately never been to a UFC fight in person though.

Got this on film (among others):

I've done the opposite. I watched Glover beat up Rampage live. As watching Rampage fight/win was one the big reasons I went I wasn't happy.

Oh shit! Those are all amazing cards, Chuck vs Wand would have been crazy just for history sake alone

Ah shit that sucks, I was lucky I went to 186 specifically to see him fight, wasn't the best showing just glad I got to see him before he retired. I am a bit worried I might be in a similar situation for Rory vs Wonderboy

1. Machida knocking out Evans to win the title (UFC 98)
2. Anderson clowning and destroying Forrest (UFC 101)
3. Jones beating Shogun for the title (UFC 128)

Honorable Mentions to: Big Foot beating Fedor (more for the shock than being a "favorite") and Kimbo beating James Thompson via exploding ear (just because it was crazy)

Dishonorable mention: Clay Guida running away from Gray Maynard for 25 minutes

Was my first live event:

1. Machida knocking out Evans to win the title (UFC 98)
2. Anderson clowning and destroying Forrest (UFC 101)
3. Jones beating Shogun for the title (UFC 128)

Honorable Mentions to: Big Foot beating Fedor (more for the shock than being a "favorite") and Kimbo beating James Thompson via exploding ear (just because it was crazy)

Ugh...UFC 98. Gave up on trying to get tix comped for that event through someone I know so I could get 100 tix instead. That didn't work out and had to pay almost $400 for a nosebleed UFC 100 ticket...was worth it though. Missed one of favorite (if not favorite) fighters produce one of the most legendary highlight reel KOs in MMA history...

Dublin. (I'm not saying his name)

 

[Goodfella86]

Nick Diaz-Gomi has to be it.

 

[Me&MrJones]

It was at school, I somehow had a fight after school and doing really well. Then my mom, who was there to pick me up, came in between and kicked the kid and the fight was over.

 

[SaigeVanZant]

Edgar vs Maynard 3 and Sanchez vs. Melendez

 

[James Baller]

Liddel vs. Vernon Tiger White/Nick Diaz vs. Karo

UFC 49 was great to attend

 

[James Baller]

Fedor vs. Henderson in Chicago with STRIKEFORCE

Speaking of live fights in Chicago, what do you think of UFC on Fox 20? I'm seriously considering going. Holm, Johnson-Teixera (possibly), Gil Milendez. I havent been to an event in years, this one is starting to look good
