Among the greatest cards ever? What’re your top 5 events ever? I suppose mine would be
217
189
199
178
205
 
Wasnt all that great, considering Ortega-Max got cancelled and we got Lewis-Ngannou barn burner.
 
Joke thread right? Main event was a "superfight" with an outcome that I personally didn't expect, so that gets a thumbs up from me, but the co-main was a joke to the point where someone could lose their job. Mediocre PPV in my opinion.
 
It was a very good card. Doesn’t come close to best ever though
 
Great card overall and sans the co main lots of fun.

As far as ranking it, hard to say, but certainly top shelf.
 
D.C. Winning the HW belt to become Champ Champ is an epic MMA moment.

I liked the card but it wasn't quite top 5, maybe top 10-15.

217 with GSP, TJ and Rose dethroning champs was pretty amazing.

205 was incredible and had an electric energy to it.

UFC 100 was EPIC.

226 was awesome, Perry/Felder was a great fight, Costa/Hall was violent, and D.C. Stole the show, but it will resonate mainly with the "hardcores" and not so much with the casuals, i.m.h.o...
 
Its not even a top 20 card because of the Ngannou stinker, that sours a majority of the card and its missing Max/Ortega.
 
It doesn't rank for me, but I'm not going to sit out and think of all the great cards. These ones stand out immediately, though:

217: three title fights and the return of GSP)
199: lots of great fights with great finishes, two title fights, and ultimate upset with Bisping over Rockhard)
205: big drama show
100: enough said
189: Main card was bananas
 
Cant have an absolute bust of a co main and be in consideration.

100
116
189
205
217
probably many more
