Not sure why but Kleber Koike vs Anzor Azhiev at KSW 30 is a fight I randomly think about way too often. Azhiev was this massive hyped up prospect, and Koike just dominated him. The triangle sequence at the end is just to me the pinnacle of BJJ in MMA.
Azhiev was a -700 betting favorite: https://www.bestfightodds.com/fighters/Anzor-Azhiev-3582

 
Wish Kleber would have tightened up his striking. He's a throwback, sometimes he's damn brilliant. He's SOL if he can't get someone down, though, bad striking.
 

Jon Fitch vs Jeff Joslin

I watched this on Canadian television in late 05. In the first round Joslin is winning the whole round then gets dropped in the end from what looks to be a Fitch punch but replay shows it was actually a Fitch headbutt. 2nd round is pretty close. 16:30 of the video, early in the 3rd round Joslin is taking over and Jon stops the fight to ask the ref for a doctor, and the ref actually gives him a timeout. Fitch ends up winning a decision. Hated him ever since lol.
 
I always have the same answer for these kinds of questions. It may not do a thing for anyone else, but it's one of my favorite fights of all time.
