Golden era of UFC

[CashMoney1991]

I'd say it's 2006-2010 fights were better less bullshit title shots and right when UFC started to get bigger and also less injuries and tuf was even good back then. Now UFC is just trash and there's too many injuries and rematches and skill doesn't matter anymore it's only about money

 

[Jer713]

They're all terrible/awesome

I have to admit though, all the new "money fight" fans are really gay

No, THE TIME IS NOW! For me it was after the SF buyout. Now there is no question who the best fighters are. The interest is at its highest. I do think the McG vs Diaz fight is bs and I am a Connor hater but I can't deny the interest he generates. To me, this is the Golden era of UFC. Ronda getting KTFO was sweet too.

Now if we're talking Golden era of MMA it'd be 02-06 Pride.

Anderson, GSP, Cain-JDS, Jones

That was UFC apex

When Shane Carwin was around

 

[qw3rty]

UFC needed of Pride, WEC and SF to get almost all the good fighters of the world, so I'd go with post SF era

 

[Sonny Qc]

BJ, GSP, Silva, Lesnar = best era

 

[loisestrad]

Golden era is right now. MMA has, at no point in history, been more golden.

Obviously to some (most?) people, the "golden era" is always gonna be right around the time you started watching mma, and it blew your fucking mind.

Some would say the Shamrock days and Blockbuster home videos.

 

[Goatenstein]

1993-1996

 

[Clippy]

Brock Lesnar being signed is the exact moment then the "Golden" era ended

 

[HHJ]

There is no golden era.It hasnt been around that long.

 

[MasterNinjaRat]

I also think the best times started after the SF buyout, thats when we really started to see who are the best. Remember when people seriously thought Jake Shields would beat GSP if they ever fought? Lol.

 

[anthony stark]

The chuck liddell era

 

[DS7]

In a few years, this is going to be the Golden Era for all of you lol, people can`t apreciate greatness in the making.

 

[mma_genius]

BS title shots? Nah. Injuries happen and they have to scramble for replacements.

 

[Primitivo]

Reebok deal.

 

[CashMoney1991]

The quality of the fighters are better but I'm just saying in terms of how good UFC is and it sucks dick now with 200 proving me correct it's more about money and wwe antics than it ever has been

2007-2012. Divisions were just as stacked. Also this is before Jones cleaned out the lhw division. Now it has gotten so bad that new talent doesnt even try to make lhw anymore.
