What's your favorite year for MMA since 1993?

[Takes Two To Tango]

I'm going to say 2005, it's really when I first got into MMA again after years of being off and on in my appeal to it.

And this is the reason.

1993

1993

That was a great year as well.

Royce was unforgettable.

 

[Luthien]

Every year that Shogun won a fight!!

2010 was a great year, I don't think I've watched more MMA and consumed more piss in a calendar year before or since.
Culminating in GSP vs Kos 2.
In Australia most UFC events start mid - late Sunday morning and finish around 4pm. I wrote myself off and had to go to my girlfriend's parents for Sunday dinner. I sat down at the table looked at a full plate of food realised I was fucked then got up, walked to the couch and laid down. All without saying a word.
The couch was about 2m away from the dinner table so it had to be awkward for my girlfriend.

All's well that ends well though... We've been married 14 years

2009

GSP Vs Penn
Champion Vs Champion

UFC 100

Afliction Org debut

TUF HW with Kimbo
(I know the fights were pretty much all terrible tho)
Everybody was hyped back then

Great fight like
Sanchez Vs Guida
Couture Vs Big Nog

Hendo H-Bomb on Bisping
Silva going up Vs Forrest Griffin

you're living in the past man....

2016 is the only correct answer, all else, morons

 

[TCE]

2004 or 2005.

 

[pamirec]

Teh Machida era.

 

[pankrat]

2013 when Strikeforce and WEC had been bought by UFC and never so much talent was under the same banner

Same.
2005 is goated

2009 is the right answer. We also had prime WEC Aldo blitzing Cub before winning the WEC belt off Mike Brown.

So four GOATS in their primes, fighting 2 or 3 times/year winning or defending belts: Aldo (over Brown), BJ (over Florian and Sanchez), GSP (over BJ and Alves) and Anderson (over Leites + Forrest at LHW).

And as a bonus we had another young GOAT on the rise in Jon Jones over Bonnar and O'Brien and for the haters, his only loss to Matt Hamill via blocking 12-6 elbows with his face.
