Shoguns 2005 run and his fights with Machida and Henderson ;)... Any Sage fight too!
 
I applaud you guys that actually can mentally recall all the mma "must see fights" but I hope you other hobbies too. I love mma and can't do what you guys just did.
 
Omg I just noticed you have Guida vs Roger on the list. How the hell do you remember that fight? Where's Andersen vs Carlos Newton at? When they fought were both the top 170ers at the time.

The original thread was quite long where everyone threw in their lot on what fights people should watch. The current list is a product of it. However as you can see it's currently incomplete. With over 70k forum members, if just 100 hundred posters contribute we can once again compile a great list. So when you're bored and you want to watch a classic, you can pop up the list, and cross one off after having watched it :)

I remember it very well. I remember probably more than couple of hundred fights very well. But I rewatch them often as well. Actually been watching some fights (kickboxing mostly today) for an hour today. Im a passionate combat sports fan so I watch a lot of fights. As for other hobbies... Well, I like to travel, but I also did (and hopefully will continue here in a new country) MMA a while ago.
 
Remember UFC 194
When Conor knocked out Aldo in 13seconds.
Greatest must see fight ever

Good stuff
 
Good list. Can't see Pickett/Almeida, Hominick/Yagin or Jimmo/Te Huna (apologies if they're already there). Back and forth fights.

I listed Almeida vs Pickett near the end of my list, absolutely one of my favorite fights of this year, great pace, Pickett looked better against Almeida than anyone imo and then the shocking KO at the end

Yeh, Pickett dropped him twice in the first round iirc. Man, that was a great card. I wish they were all like that.
 
Genki Sudo vs. Duane Ludwig
Scott Smith vs. Pete Sell
Yves Edwards vs. Josh Thompson
Yves Edwards vs. Edson Berto
Joachim Hansen vs. Kotetsu Boku
Justin Gaethje vs. Luis Palomino
All Saku fights from 1997, 1998, & 1999 + his fight with Royce and his first fight with Wand.
Gary Goodridge's first fight
Gary vs. Oleg
Oleg vs. Tank
Vitor vs. Tank
Jerry Bohlander vs. Scott Ferrozzo
Joachin Hansen vs. Imanari
Oleg vs Renzo
Rickson vs. Rei Zulu
Akiyama vs. Misaki
Tokoro vs. Daisuke Nakamura
Tokoro vs. Brad Pickett
Genki vs. Butterbean (watch the first round on fast forward)
Manhoef vs. Mark Hunt
Wand vs. Mark Hunt
Wand vs. Mirko 2
Mirko vs Randleman 1
Mirko vs. Vovchanchyn
Igor vs. Fred Floyd
Igor vs. Francisco Bueno
Mousasi vs. Jacare 1

There's tons of "must see" fights out there. I listed some but there's way too many out there

I'd take Forrest vs. "I can barely stand, but I'll take the fight anyways" Shogun out of that list.
