Most amazing single fight performances

TJ vs Barao his combos where he was fluidly going between orthodox and southpaw, using a variety of clean strikes from both, while pushing pace, and controlling distance was amazing.

Left jab, right cross, right high kick, LEFT cross, right jab, Left cross, left roundhouse kick, overhand right.

Shit was poetry in motion. I know everyone hates TJ, and feel free, but dude was elite as fuck skill wise at his peak.



DC vs Jones I think has to be among the highest level of skill ever. They fought twice and both would go on to win 4-5+ title fights after, HW and LHW



Cody vs Cruz. Cody caught lightning in a bottle, and Cruz having the KO power of a 9 year old girl didn't hurt, but Cody looked like a defensive genius in there. I haven't seen dancing in a world title fight like that since Pernell Sweet P Whittaker.


Fedor vs Cro Cop and Big Nog
He out struck the best striker in HW and ground and pounded the best grappler. And that was when HW was DEEP. Pride guys were on the sauce so we had athletic FAST POWERFUL HWs, not the fat slobs of post usada era

For the newer audiences check out Matt Brown vs Erick Silva in Matt's hometown fight night main event. Some would say the young lion Erick Silva is still considered one of the hottest prospects to grace an octagon. He gave Matt hell for the first 2 rounds only for Matt to have an amazing comeback victory that blew the roof off the arena
