Has there been an authentic grudge match in the UFC?

[Fujita]

I saw Tito and Ken at a party and they seemed to be getting along well. I thought it was a real feud before that.

They are cool now, but at the time it was legit.

GSP - Penn

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

Rampage and Wand were only friendly post fight after KOs, but the first time they actually talked to eachother was in 2010 after Wands fight with Bisping and they knew each other since 2002, it was pretty legit.

For reference:

Not sure if 'grudge' is right, as it was may be deeper, but I think Jones and Rashad would fit.

Guillard vs Clementi

 

[Uncommon Valor]

Edit: Nevermind.

I am shocked Ken forgave him after that grave digging gesture.

 

[Still Holdin]

Kid Yamamoto vs that one guy he beat after the ref tried to stop

Diego and Kos.

 

[laleggenda27]

Most of the grudge matches that people are posting were actually one-sided feuds. For example, in the Rousey-Tate feud, I think Rousey legitimately had a problem with Tate's camp, but Meisha seemed to think it was all just fun and games. Same goes for Tito-Shamrock.

On the other hand, Guillard and Clementi seemed to have mutual hatred.

 

[KarateKickbox22]

Rashad/Rampage for sure.

 

[Momentosis]

 

[TheUnchosenOne]

Most of what Diaz says pre-fight is for self motivation. Something some around here don't grasp.

Which is kind of weird, since he's been pretty open about that.

 

[Luger]

Bisping vs Rivera

A good one but I don

 

[Luger]

One I totally forgot about:

"[The punch ] is a bit hard to comment on... but I would have thought I could have thrown a better punch and knock him out, given that Koscheck wasn't expecting it! Would be good! That would be very interesting

Dan Hardy - Marcus Davies.

At least Marcus' side?

 

[Luger]

Perhaps this is fitting

I always hoped somebody would step to Big John.

Some guy did after John clothes-lines him and bust his nose to stop the fight... John didn't budge!

Can't remember the fight, but the guy was really pissed.
