kind of tired now and can't think of many, but the 10 min. ground and pound seminar that was fedor vs. herring comes to mind. his ground control is amazing, as well as his power and the fact that he took heath down at will. anyone else have anything?

Randy Vs Tito, cracker of a fight! I was literally on the edge of my seat in that fight.

Can't think of any others atm 'cause I haven't seen all that many.

Depends on what basis you mean "favourite"

Favourite KO - Pulver vs Lewis or possibly Nogueira vs Kikuta

My favourite fight is a kind of strange choice - Royce Gracie vs Dan Severn from all the way back in UFC 5. It was a classic David vs Goliath match with a great finish.

I REALLY want to see Royce vs Sak though. 2 hours?!! Marathon!

Worst fight ever - Shamrock vs Severn 2....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....sorry even thinking about it just made me nod off!

Nice to see Rutten v Kosaka get a mention - that was a great battle. I'm gonna go watch it again just now....

Matt Serra V BJ Penn in UFC 39 I think....Really interesting that 2 BJJ Blackbelts and they did not take the fight to the floor for more than a few seconds...

A definite future one for this column will be Mattie Hughes Vs BJ Penn.....oh the anticipation :)

1onefighting took a lot of my favorites. Goodridge vs Herrera was hillarious. He's probably still feeling those elbows to this day. lol When it gomes to funny/good fights, The early UFC was full of them like:
Tank vs Steve Nelmark
Kieth Hackney vs Joe Son (always wear a cup)
Kieth Hackney vs Emmanuel Yarborough

I'll bet Hererra will NEVER attempt a fireman's carry again.

any vanderlei silva fight. except vs. vitor...we won't talk about that one.

but i was thinking about that recently, i'd have thought that would have killed his career, it was his first big mma fight. fortunately, it wasn't the last.

Hey, at least he got ONE kick off in that fight before Vitor put them hands to work. lol Oh, ya, you probably don't want to mention the Tito Ortiz vs Wanderlei Silva fight either. ;)
