[TCE]

Sherdog's Top Ten 5 Round Fights inspired me to make this poll which includes fights ending in the fifth round.

Hunt vs. Bigfoot always tops this list for me, my favourite fight of all time.

 

[Lovestorm]

I'm slightly torn between Lawler/Rory and Lawler/Condit, but picked Lawler/Rory. That fight was carnage,

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Jones vs Gus was insane, especially because of how nobody gave Gus a chance prior to. What a war.

Bigfoot vs Hunto was literally jaw-dropping.

Two of my faves.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Ruthless vs the Red King

Big Foot vs Hunt #2

Edgar vs Maynard #2 is #3

 

[Phildiesel]

I enjoyed Cain-JDS II. Brutal fight but highly one-sided.

 

[SoccerKicked]

I had actually forgotten about Cerrone/Bendo I back in the WEC. I haven't watched in a while but I remember thinking that Cerrone should have won and that Bendo was made of rubber

 

[MMA-woooooh!!!!]

loved that cage kick in bendo v pettis and the back n forth in aldo v mendes, but the ruthless one v the red king takes the cake. hard to find two other fighters more willing to throw down until the very end.

 

[El Fernas]

Pettis vs Bendo back in WEC was awesome, i would tie it up with Rory vs Lawler II.

 

[Akabignasty]

I'm a little bias since I saw it live:

Randy vs Rizzo I

 

[Meathead Jock]

Chael Silva 1

I felt like I was watching history in addition to a great fight like the rest of the list.

 

[DorianGray]

I chose other for machida/shogun 1. But in terms of watching it live jones/gus and silva/sonnen 1 are definitely up there.

Edit: I didnt see rory/lawler before voting. Would probably change it to to that. That fight was unreal.

 

[FrankFixer]

All of the above. So hard to pick one but picked Rory/Robbie probably because I watched it last night. Shogun/Hendo was great.

 

[Me&MrJones]

Aldo vs Mendes II
Dos Anjos vs Pettis
Dillashaw vs Cruz
Velasquez vs Dos Santos III
Jones vs Teixeira

 

[Rum]

Compared to other fights which were 5 full rounds of badassness, Robbie vs Rory was kind of boring for the first couple of rounds but it's still in my top 5 for how it developed later on.

1. Bones vs Gus
2. Aldo vs Mendes II
3. Hunto vs Bigfoot
4. Aldo vs Frankie
5. Robbie vs Rory

 

[vigneshm1995]

Rory vs Robbie all the way
Alvarez/Chandler is a close second

 

[danny23]

Can't decide.
Edgar vs Maynard 2,Jones vs Gus,Hunt vs Bigfoot,Lawler vs MacDonald 2 and Cowboy vs Bendo 1,
are my top 5.
I'll edge towards Gus vs Jones.

 

[Bradstones]

Jones vs Gus was insane, especially because of how nobody gave Gus a chance prior to. What a war.

Bigfoot vs Hunto was literally jaw-dropping.

Two of my faves.

yup...these 2 and Lawler vs Rory 2.....hard to pick between the 3

 

[JohnnyTowers]

Good thread. Tough call. Robbie v. Rory was a bloodbath.

 

[The Accuser]

I thoroughly enjoyed Werdum vs Browne: Watching Browne getting beat up AND getting mocked at the same time for five rounds was particularly satisfying.

From your list: Jones vs Gus and Robbie vs Rory and Chad vs Aldo are all great options.

 

[Bvr]

Not even a huge silva fan but sonnen-silva 1 was the stuff from movies
