What's the best one sided beatdown in MMA history

[BrickHitBack]

BJ Penn vs Joe Stevenson.
Duffee vs. Russow.

 

[bigmacbub]

Barboza murdered hooker

 

[Franklin U.]

We're at a point where there are too many.
I mean, if I were to put pen to paper and try to rank- wouldn't know where to start

Igor Vs Enson

I legit feared for Enson’s health post fight.

Here’s someone’s write up on it if you’ve never seen:

[BrainCandy]

If you look at full five or three round fights it’s different than a quick one or two round beatdown.

GSP vs Fitch was prolonged and decisive.

Agreed. That and the Cain/JDS were the first two I thought of but both have been mentioned.

Several of the old GSP fights fall into this category though. His fights against Penn (second one), Hardy and Alves fall under that heading. They could do nothing to GSP and he controlled and pummeled them for an extended period. I'd give it to the Cain/JDS fight because GSP was known for controlling and not finishing, Cain beat the absolute stuffing out of JDS with heavyweight power.

Now, since the OP said MMA history and not UFC, you have to mention some Pride fights. Wandy vs Sakuraba comes to mind.

[wake_me]

shogun/rampage

 

[Coconutwater]

Arona vs Sakuraba.



Penn vs Stevenson.

 

[BC]

RDA vs Pettis comes to mind

 

[SammyPops]

Vovchanchyn vs Inoue

Was that the fight when they got tangled in the ropes, and the ref basically drageed him to the centre of the ring?

 

[chinarice]

I didn't like it because ken was my boy but Tito/Ken Shamrock (any of them really) were one of the first major one sided, prolonged one sided beatings I remember

 

[Bacco]

 

[Franklin U.]

Take a stab at your top three

For starters jds-cain 2 automatically come to mind. I'd have to think of 25 minute [or 15 minue] thrashings where I, lol, found myself saying " I think someone ought to stop this". There have been quite a few.
Franklin Loiseau another one where it was so bad that the winner had problems with both his hands for rest of career.
Again- so many.

 

[Threetrees]

RDA vs Pettis comes to mind

At the time that was probably the best pressure fighting performance I'd ever seen. Just perfection

 

[r-harper-1]

Ya stole my picks ....Lesnar vs Mir 2 was fairly one sided

 

[rjmbrd]

If you look at full five or three round fights it’s different than a quick one or two round beatdown.

GSP vs Fitch was prolonged and decisive.

Or as Joe Rogan put it during the broadcast: "it looks like target practice."

 

[BC]

That was for sure one of the best performances of all time, Pettis had absolutely nothing for RDA, RDA was a savage

 

[91 seconds]

Fedor vs Nog 1
