^Yeah, it's really hard to not say Shogun vs Henderson.
I've never been so animated during a fight. I like both fighters.
It was exciting to see the elite Strikeforce fighters finally make their debuts
And Henderson vs Shogun just seemed like one of those "duh" fights.
Like a fight that you would've expected to have happened already.
I really felt like I was watching a PRIDE fight. I think I even mentioned it to
a friend. I didn't care who won in the end. I felt like my bloodthirst as an MMA fan
was finally completely satiated. I felt like I was in a fight, myself.
Seeing those two champions just test themselves to the fullest extent.
Not shying away from any shots; not missing any opportunity to do damage...
It was everything I wanted out of a fight. It'll be hard to ever top it for me.
Runner ups: Baby Nog vs Shogun, Diamond vs Jung, Minotauro vs Randy

"He stood in there with great heart; like a champion should." - Henderson
in the post fight interview after his victory, on Shogun.
It gave me chills. Maybe even a tear.
