If you could pay money to watch some hard sparring sessions between fighters that train together. What would be you top choice?

mine:

Robbie Lawler vs Thiago Alves. Image the striking sparring between these two ATT beasts. I would love to see that.

DC vs Cain. I would like to see them do some sparring with all mma tools used.

Chuck Liddell vs Glover Teixeira. Lets say 5-6 years ago. This would have been great to see.

Overeem vs Jon Jones. Striking only. That would be fun to watch.

Who you got?
 
Robbie doesn't like to spar, no?

Obviously any combination of the old Chute Boxe. Both Rua's, Anderson, Wand, Pele... damn.
Main event on multiple mats per day at that place.

Pure striking, Reem is way to good for Jones. I'm a big Jones fan, But from a pure standup fight, reem is light years ahead of Jones. Reem is a K1 grand prix champion. Has beaten some of the very best guys in K1.

K1 suited him better than mma does though. IN K1, I believe the rounds are only 2 minutes long. At least I thought they were. Plus reem paced himself very well.
 
I'd pay for Meisha & Gina to roll and try to triangle one another...

3 minutes.
 
None?

I ain't paying to watch fucking sparring, how pathetic are you people?
 
Overeem - Jones. At ATT there are a lot, Woodley, Lombard, Lawlor and Alves all train there any spar between 2 of them would be exciting. Aldo - Barao, Cain - Cormier. Anderson - Machida
 
Ahoy matey, we don't pay money to watch them fight, why would we pay to watch them sparrrrr?

But I agree with all of the ones mentioned.

Obviously Wand and Shogun in their primes is number one. Anyone who says anything else should be shot in the nuts with a potato gun.
 
Anderson and Lyoto



This was a good video on their sparring and Machida spanked Anderson in the BJJ department. As for sparring Fitch had a video of Machida and Cain sparring but he prank us on it by not showing it.
 
I'd also pay good money to see the sparring sessions in which Manhoef allegedly ko'd Lombard and the war between Lombard and Barnett
 
Anderson and Lyoto/Shogun

I also wouldn't mind getting better looks at Ronda and Karo working on thier Judo

 
No particular order

The guys in my AV
Prime Randy vs. Prime Hendo at Team Quest
Cain vs. Cormier
JDS vs. Andy
Barnett vs. Lombard
Jon Jones vs. GSP
GSP vs. Nate
GSP vs. Rashad
Shogun vs Andy at Chute Boxe
Andy vs. Lyoto Blackhouse
Vitor vs. Lyoto
Any combo of these Welters from ATT: Alves, Woodley, Lombard, Robbie
Jake Shields vs. Nick Diaz on the ground
Baby Jay vs Nick in Hilo
Andy vs. Jacare
Andy vs. Filho
 
Overeem & Badr Hari, probably a few tko's in those sessions.
