Hendricks kicked gsp ass!

 

[Drugstore Cowboy]

Namajunas looked like the best women fighter of all time in the first round against Andrade.

 

[BROWNPRIDE]

Santos vs Jones

 

[AimedWithV]

Hendricks kicked gsp ass!

For 3 rounds out of 5 he did indeed

 

[Tomasz79]

"me vs your mom"

 

[Conor_Is_Overrated]

Gustafsson, of course.



The literal highlight of his career is his loss to Jones. And arguably, his second most impressive fight is his loss to Cormier, too.

Still Joanna fights are her best performance

Cormier loss was much less impressive TBH....

 

[Drugstore Cowboy]

Still Joanna fights are her best performance

I would say technically her best round in her life is round 1 against Andrade.

Chael Sonnen against Anderson Silva part 1
Kelvin Gastelum vs. Israel Adesanys (hopefully we see a rematch)

Who else you got?

Ian McCall - vs Mighty Mouse 1 (OK, no contest)

 

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

Arlovski looked amazing before Fedor put him to sleep...

 

[The Invisible]

Kevin Lee vs Tony Ferguson. Lee absolutely looked like a beast in that fight, until staph got to him.
Lando Vannata vs Tony Ferguson.

Also shows the type of guy that Ferguson is. Freaking animal, but hittable.

 

[dildos]

Jones vs Hamill

 

[Conor_Is_Overrated]

Cormier loss was much less impressive TBH....

I agree. But still, it was a SPLIT decision and a FOTN against the reigning LHW champ.
What's his best WIN anyway? It might be against 38-year-old Teixeira... I rate his loss against Cormier higher.

 

[Conor_Is_Overrated]

Arlovski looked amazing before Fedor put him to sleep...

Very good point. (Also shows the greatness of Fedor. That version of Arlovski was a beast.)
