Hidden gem fights

[Pierced7681]

Looking for some fights to watch that I might not have seen before.

What are some of the best UFC fights that no one talks about? No big name fights like Shogun/Hendo or well known wars like Grice/Bermudez, just stuff you feel is under the radar.

I’ll start,

Paul Taylor/Chris Lytle. Awesome striking battle with Taylor bringing the technique and Lytle throwing huge bombs for three rounds. Didn’t like the decision, but still a great fight that most people don’t talk about.

Frankie Edgar vs Tyson Griffin, lots of action. Striking, grappling and some badass submission attempts.

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

Tim Credeur vs Nate Quarry

One of the most epic endings to a fight with Griffin trying to break Frankie’s knee and Frankie holding on until the bell, great choice

Tim Credeur vs Nate Quarry

Actually haven’t seen this one, it’s going on the list. I remember both these guys always came to scrap.

Lots of great ones from WEC. Too lazy to list them

 

[ArchGoat]

Clay Guida vs Ben Henderson
Was a pretty fun fight.

 

[Andre Xiong]

Sanchez (yes, Diego) vs Paulo Thiago

 

[PAPERCLIP30]

Tim Credeur vs Nate Quarry

Ya know, I was gonna post Condit vs Ellenberger, which was on the same card but lost FOTN to that fight.

I’ve actually never see. It.

I used to love watching Paul Taylor fight. Absolute badass. His beatdown of cake boy Rudiger was hilarious.

Guida vs Huerta
Diego vs Kampmann
Stout vs Spencer Fisher I

Takada vs Mike Bernardo was a classic as well

It was my fight of the year when it happened lol

Yeah it was an amazing fight. One of my favorite fights of all time. Any thread of anybody asking for a not as well-known War I always post that fight cuz everyone who calls themselves an MMA fan needs to see it.

Ever seen Wilson Gouveia vs Goran Relijic? Thats another really good fight i think can be considered a little under the rader nowadays.

akiyama vs leben

 

[DuncanFan819]

Varner vs. Trujillo and Varner vs. Barboza were both fantastic.

Leben vs. Terry Martin is one of my favorite comeback fights.

I’ll check out Wilson/Reljic, I can’t recall if ive seen it or not. I remember Wilson getting mortal kombat combo kod by Nate the great, but not sure about the reljic one.

Paul Taylor vs Paul Kelly.

 

[Pierced7681]

Here’s another really good one, Chael Sonnen/Nate Marquardt.

Nate beat the piss out of Chael standing and almost subbed him, yet Chael kept pushing forward with takedowns and won a very tough 29-28 to claim a title shot against
Anderson.

 

[Pierced7681]

Paul Taylor vs Paul Kelly.

We should just list every Paul Taylor fight at this rate lol, guy was relentless with nonstop striking action
