Has there been an authentic grudge match in the UFC?

[Luger]

Just wondering.

The Tito vs Ken was marketing.
Maybe Quinton vs Wanderlei - at that time. I think after the fight they have been friendly.

BJ and Nick seemed like one but after the fight

Then they argued a bit, if I remember correctly.

Maybe the closest one is Ronda vs Miesha 2?

Not that I care about the drama but I do get slightlly annoyed when people fake a grudge for wolf tickets

Brock-Mir 2 and it's not even close.

 

[MUSTKILL]

Brock vs Mir
Tito vs Chuck
Wanderlei vs Rampage

 

[Szwok]

guillard vs clementi! bar fight before the fight was awesome.

 

[Philtard]

Brock Mir 2, chuck tito. Silva Jackson.

Edit-^ beat me to it.

 

[Mikeyz]

Silva Jackson.

Almost forgot about this one.

came in to say this, beat me to it. yeah these guys genuinely hated each other.

another was riggs - diaz, they couldn't even stop at the hospital.

 

[Fujita]

Ken really hated Tito.

 

[taedium]

Cummins - Cormier

Come on, Cormier even refused to call Cummins Pat...

rousey vs tate. it may have started as harmless trash talk between the two, but after tuf 18, the rivalry was heated and confrontational.

Shammy vs Don Frye

Classic Feuds: Ken Shamrock vs Don Frye

 

[Steve08]

Rampage-Wand seemed real to me.

I think with the Penn-Diaz thing, it's kinda hard to hate a guy that you've just fought. It seems that a lot of these fighters emerge with a new-found respect for their opponent win lose or draw, no matter how much they disliked him prior to their fight.

[Philtard]

Shad vs Jackson. Rivera Bisping. bisping hendo. Bisping miller

 

[ajmonsta]

Ken really hated Tito.

Damn big John just picked him up like nothing. Id favor prime John over Sylvia back in those days

 

[Maklershed]

Bisping and Rivera?

 

[Steve08]

Shad vs Jackson

Authentic? At one point on TUF, when asked why he disliked Rashad so much, Rampage forgot the script! lol

nick and bj weren't enemies before the fight in any way. but nick will treat you like one ahead of the fight--that's how he do. after the fight bj was all mad about whatever nick did at least in one itnerview well after the fight.

but that doesn't seem to have been a grudge match at all.

Didn't Penn trash Nick after the fight?

I always hoped somebody would step to Big John.
