Media My list of the greatest fights of all time: A mix of obscure, underrated gems with absolute classics

[TCE]

No worries dude, let me know what you think of the fights.

Will do, bro. Will watch them tonight after work.

Eddie alvarez vs hell boy good one to add! Great list TS

 

[Bone Cold]

Something i wasn't surprised by: Robbie Lawler has 4 fights on that list.

GSP has 2. Anderson has 1. Khabib has zero. Fedor has 1. Jones has 2. Several fighters have 3.

But only Robbie fucking Lawler has 4 fights on there. He may not be the GOAT but he's the one guy who, every single time, was going to go out and give 100% from bell to bell.

WAR Ruthless Robbie Lawler!

Hunt has 5?

 

[khabibsmesh]

Great list, though it lacks grappling-heavy fights, but great nevertheless!

[sissypunch]

how much dana pay you for this massive ad for fight pass?

 

[Martialarts123]

Really cool stuff. Great choices

Me: "Heh! I bet this noob doesn't have Carlos Condit getting judo-tossed by Hiromitsu Miura, Phillip Miller exchanging brain-damage with Shungo Oyama, or Riki Fukuda knocking Ryuta Sakurai out of the ring (twice!), or Tokoro's Bellator grappling war vs LC Davis, on his precious little list! I'll just slide into this thread and call him a filthy casual to boost my own self-estee... crap! Uuhh... uhhh... OH! OH! OH! You forgot Meisha Tate vs Julia Kedzie in Strikeforce! Ha! I knew it! You TUF noobs never know about the REAL classics. Why don't you join the other Zuffa zombies on Facebook!"

Seriously though, wicked list!

A fishy classic: Frank Shamrock getting kicked out of the ring by Yuki Kondo



Frank Shamrock vs Phil Baroni



Cung Le vs Frank Shamrock



Pele vs Patino



Pele vs Matt Hughes

 

[Buff]

Matt Hughes vs Dennis Hallman



Matt Hughes vs Dennis Hallman2



Kimbo Slice vs James Thompson, just for the crazy finish



Dan Miller vs Dave Phillips for the worst guillotine ever.



And Mrs Handy Couture almost dying on Steve Mazzagati's watch is always worth a watch...

 

[NoContest]

Anderson Silva vs Lee Murray is some violent shit:

Fucked him up with lead leg leg kicks. You don't see that very often. Prime Silva was legendary.

 

[Alfonso Rodriguez]

That’s a dope-ass list! A lot of gems that I forgot about and want to rewatch now! Lol

A couple of recent fights that I thought didn’t get talked about nearly enough for how good they were are Cub Swanson vs Daniel Pineda and Julian Erosa vs Sean Woodson.

 

[EndlessCritic]

Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen I (Fight)
Charles Oliveira vs. Nik Lentz (Fight)
Dominick Cruz vs. Demetrious Johnson (Fight)

Fabricio Werdum vs. Antonio Silva (Fight)
Josh Barnett vs. Rodrigo Nogueira I (Fight)

Silva/Sonnen 1 was incredible to watch live, but it was not an objectively good fight. Similar to Couture/Sylvia (without the comeback).

Oliveira/Lentz 1, 2, or 3? I assume 2?

I don't recall Cruz/Johnson being that great. Cruz/Dillashaw was the far better fight.


Werdum/Bigfoot and Barnett/Nogueira I and II were both fantastic and underrated scraps.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

A fishy classic: Frank Shamrock getting kicked out of the ring by Yuki Kondo



Frank Shamrock vs Phil Baroni



Cung Le vs Frank Shamrock



Pele vs Patino



Pele vs Matt Hughes

That Steve Mazzagatti thumbnail is great.

WAR Ruthless Robbie Lawler!

Poirier has 5 on the guy's list... and I'd 100% add Holloway on there.

 

[pankrat]

Okami vs Boetsch
Misaki vs Marquardt

 

[Buff]

Mayhem vs the Bully

[Jose Beehive]

Not sure if it was mentioned but this shit was fucking amazing, one of the best fights i've seen in recent years.

Vanessa Demopoulos vs Lupita Godinez (LFA 94) 30-10-2020
