Mine would be gsp vs fitch. It was 5 rounds of pure ass kicking. People who says that gsp changed after the first matt serra fight clearly did not saw this match.

It's too bad he has no KO power or else Fitch would have been out cold.
 
I like DC vs Gus, DC really had to prove he not only really wanted to get the belt but that he wanted to keep it as well, and Gus gave him a hard fight so he had to really work for it.

I actually thought DC would lose a bit of his fire once he reached his goal and got his hands on the belt to kinda cross of it off his list, so I was impressed.
 
and here comes the ban hammer

It was on reddit's main page. I figured if it was on the main page there, it would be safe here. I didn't mean to be break any rules and I am definitely not a racist person in real life. it was all for the lolz and well it was on the reddit main page.
 
That's a pretty original question. Not easy to do on Sherdog.

There's not a lot of first title defenses that really stand out to me. Was going to say Frankie and Maynard but that wasn't the first. Guess I'll have to go with Jones vs Rampage. I was super impressed with submitting Rampage.
 
Jedrzejczyk vs Penne - pretty much cemented the aura of a Champion that Jedrzejczyk now has.
 
Recently JJ v. Penne. The Esparza win was pretty awesome and then the follow up Penne fight was pretty brutal

Was Dodson MM's first title defense? I loved that fight.
 
Rampage vs Hendo was dope
B.J. vs Sherk is still to this day my favorite flying knee
 
I'd like to take a different tact here.

Serra's defence was a thing of beauty. And Carla Esparza's defence was entertaining and satisfying as fuck.
