My Favorite Year in MMA (2009)

[GoodBadHBK]

Anyone else a fan of 09?

 

[Rationality]

That was the year I started watching MMA. Good times.

I voted Nog v Couture, absolutely epic encounter.

Santiago/Misaki, Guida/Sanchez are right there as well.

Silva clowning Griffin was amazing.

Machida vs Shogun plus anything Fedor did around that time. That Machida vs Shogun fight, I recall watching that in an Outback, haha. The decision really bummed me out, lots of Machida fans in that bar, new MMA fans at that time hahaha. The rematch KO made it all sweeter.

 

[Natural Order]

Sanchez/Guida was most fun I'd say. Most epic/violent would be Hendo on Bisping, Fedor on Arlovski, and Machida on Evans.

2009 gave us Shadface, legendary year indeed.

Wow what a great year of MMA, idk what my favorite specific year was but that was certainly a time where I enjoyed UFC more

 

[ILIKEROCKHOLD]

That Fedor-Rogers fight was a banger. Fedor had already regressed and become a headhunter and Rogers was legit and on a streak. First round was nuts. And then a punch that knocked Rogers head off. Classic fight.

2009 was definitely one of the best years for both the UFC and the sport in general.

2011 was probably my overall favourite.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

That was a great choice, 2009 was epic.

For me it was 1995, that was the best year all finishing with the Ultimate Ultimate to prove who was the greatest fighter ever in UFC history, which was Dan Severn in the end. Nothings ever come close to that event

good year
