2005-2011 were my favorite years
Rampage, Anderson Silva, B.J. Penn, GSP, Fedor, Wanderlei Silva, Cro Cop, Shogun Rua, Nogueira Bros, Lyoto Machida, Rashad Evans, Dan Henderson, Chuck Liddell, Tito Ortiz, Overeem, Vitor Befort, Rich Franklin, Diaz Brothers, Hughes, Randy Couture, Brock Lesnar, Frank Mir, Robbie Lawler, Chael Sonnen, WEC Aldo, etc.
Almost every card back then seemed stacked
Pride, UFC, WEC, Strikeforce, etc.
That was the golden age in my book.

I’m leaning towards 03.
Yeah honestly I’m not sure anything can top that for me.

2006 IMHO. Pride was going strong and had the openweight and middleweight grand prix, Chuck Liddell was at his peak in the UFC, all of the champions were active and had big new threats on the rise... it was the last ride before the sheer madness of 2007 which was the craziest ever for upsets.
