Rashad Evans vs. Lil Nog

 

[MikeyCanFly]

-Aldo v Edgar 1
-The entire UFC FN 19 main card: Nate Quarry vs Tim Creduer ( personal fav opening match in UFC history ), Carlos Condit vs Jake Ellenburger (would have been FOTN on any other card but Quarry v Creduer took it, and also Gray Maynard vs Roger Heurta.
-Paul Taylor vs Paul Kelly ( amazing opening 20 secs to a fight )
-Dennis Bermurdez vs Diego Brando TUF finale

Chael v. Anderson II. After the first round I legitimately thought that Anderson couldn't stop Chael's takedown and that the rest of the fight would go like the first fight. We even saw Chael threaten a kimura. The second round was also entertaining. Anderson stuffing the takedown, the two trading blows, then the spinning backfist and the end of the fight and finally Chael showing he's the sport's biggest front runner. Very entertaining.

Hendo-Shogun II. The first one is rightfully lauded, but the second one had great moments and a great comeback as well.

Babalu v. Mousasi

Hendo v. Calvacante

Arlovski v. Browne

Evan Tanner v. David Terrell

The one I always mention from back in the day is Sergei vs Aleks, two skilled HW boxers slugging it out without devolving into a brawl with good back and forth action. If this fight happened today I think people would be going nuts over it but it got lost in the shuffle a bit on the undercard of Mirko winning the OWGP.

Gomi's two fights with Luiz Azeredo are I think very underated as well. The first has Azeredo landing some insane offence before Gomi gets one of the most devastating KO's in MMA history on him(think Shogun landing that follow up shot on Te Huna). The second isn't quite as crazy but a really good back and forth aggressive showdown none the less.
