Sakuraba's loss to Ralek.
Had Saku even been a couple years younger, he would have taken him in my eyes. Got the armbar at the end of the first round while he was fresh but bell rang.
In recent fights, I'd take Jacare's loss to Romero. It's not so much someone being cheated since it was a close fight, but rather, Dana and the UFC simply don't want to give Jacare a title shot anytime soon, because of perceived marketability limitations despite him having earned the right to a title fight.
