What do you consider to be the golden era of the UFC?

[Luffy]

It depends. If you speak on some champion monster, something we have never seen like before, it's Pereira. I don't know but as Izzy said, the fact he got motivated to train heavily, it was created a monster. I think I thought I had never seen someone like Jon Jones, but maybe Poatan is in that or even above never seen before monster. I don't know if I have ever seen someone that... It's even scary.

2006 to 2013 100%. The Peak was 2009

2006 - 2013 no doubt in my mind. The roster was filled with talent and fighters were a lot more active. Not to mention they weren't throwing interim titles and instant title rematches around like candy

yeah they were...you serious? lol. The UFC using interim titles for no reason is not a recent thing.

That's the golden line up right there.

The golden age of the UFC was most definitely 2000-2015.

But then again I started watching UFC in 1999. I never saw any UFC event live or in person before that. I saw tapes & dvds, but I'm sure the old heads have an argument for the era's before 2000.

The only answer is 2006 to 2013. The amount of amazing fighters, the incredible fights, the highlight reel finishes, that was for sure the best stretch.

Was waiting for this and I agree tbh

 

[Hotora86]

2006-2013 without a doubt!

The sheer fact that You had both GSP and Silva in their prime, plus my fav Machida winning the belt in 2009 = best times to be a fan!

2007-2010 lives forever in my heart

 

[UkraineFreightTrain]

2000-06, the PRIDE/UFC crossover possibilities were unreal at that time

2006 - 2013 was my favorite time for it. I was training and doing bjj at the time. Also across the street from my bands rehersal studio was a guy who had a house party every ufc event. So it was convenient to just walk across the street to watch the ppv's for free while getting super drunk, and snorting lines if there wasn't a bbq also going on. Those were good times.

Fucking a, that's a majestic photo.

 

[no fat chicks]

So many amazing champions and fighters at that time 2006-2013

 

[mmacrisis]

2006-2015 time frame. Silva, GSP, the beginning of Jones and plenty of others. Also at that time there weren't weekly events like now so fight cards were stacked and existing.

 

[Michael Wetzel]

2008-2015 was the best time for UFC.
