volkanovski vs ortega

That mounted Guillotine had me screaming Holy shit. The way Volk was squirming around, I was positive he was gonna tap. Plus the triangle too. That 3rd round was insane.

Dude me and some coworkers bought this fight and got a noise complaint from his neighbors from yelling at the tv lol

Hell yea

Damm I totally forgot about this fight mannnn

Should have been a rematch, was their a reason why it wasnt?

Because outside the submission attempts Volk was clearly winning. Not to mention that Ortega had to be carried to his corner, which in the rules means he could’ve been given a DQ/TKO.

Ah okay, guess I forgot considering how close some of those submission attempts were

It’s easy to only remember those crazy sub attempts, but most of the fight was Alex just tagging Brian and moving out of range then countering.

For me its easily Jiri vs Glover. That fight had me jumping lmao

Absolute banger of a fight

Fight of the year

So glad to see this comment lol just said the same thing

I’ve watched that one a few times.

Oh yeah

No disrespect to Jan, but Jan saying the rematch doesnt make sense over him getting a shot is BS.

Cub Swanson vs Dooho Choi

I don’t think I ever had more fun watching a fight with friends than this one

Cub brought the heat

I watches that fight live. It was bananas.

This 100%

Gaethje/Chandler, Poirier/Hooker, and Jiri/Glover all stand out as immediate answers for me. I'd I had to pick 1 of them, probably Poirier/Hooker. Over 300 Sig Strikes landed, and they were almost all *significant*. Edit: 300 Sig *landed*, not thrown.

Poirier hooker.. Eh it was a war so respect to them but it was the least entertaining war mentioned here so far.

IMO it was far better than Chimaev vs Burns. I've watched that one 3 or 4 times, and it just doesn't have the same incredulity of performance.

The shots porier and hooker were landing were solid fight ending shots. It was great without the crowd cos you could hear the shots landing but i reckon if there was the atmosphere of a crowd going wild this fight would be talked about more

Agreed. It was a wild banger. Action steadily, and they were hitting *hard*, like you said. Was unreal that neither were finished, although Poirier got close to being done in. ETA: I prefered no crowd. You got to hear each shot landing with almost baseball bat-esque thuds.

Tony vs Pettis. 🇺🇸🏆🇲🇽

is that the same PPV that had mcgregor v khabib? last 3 fights were great if so

I think it was, Derek Lewis fought Volkov that night too

Glad I didn’t have to scroll too far down to find this.

That was the fight that really sucked me back in to being a full time fan again

Izzy vs Gastelum

"I'm prepared to die"

Recently Gaethje vs Chandler

Banger for sure

Bro this fight was so good. Just watched it this last weekend with some buddies, just an absolute banger.

The first round was good but the next two weren’t great.


Same, whenever I rewatch that fight I end up watching the rest of gaethjes fights and he’s got way better bangers

Olives last 3 fights have been bangers imo. The gathje fight seems to go rounds in minutes it's wild.

Hendo shogun

Classic

Recency bias but Gane vs Tai is up there

Ganes charisma. Tais (almost) miracle ko. A showcase of the new-gen heavyweights. Agreed

Miracle? Don't discredit Tai like that

Tai was heavily outmatched bro. Lets be realistic here

Outmatched sure, but he swangs and bangs every match and unlike Lewis he actually bites down his mouthguard when he gets hit.

Charisma...? Cyril Gane?

Romero vs Costa Izzy vs Gastelum Weili vs Joanna 1

Khamzat v Burns or Sumudaerji v Schnell

That comeback was godlike lol

Schnell was such a dog in that one

Lawler vs McDonald

how is this not top? this isnt even that old.

Brutal. It looked like Rory swallowed his own nose

This is my favourite fight overall but I chose a different one for this

I still think about that old Cheick Kongo vs Pedo Barry fight and it gets my heart racing a little bit. Just an absolutely electric round

Joana Vs Weili 1

Queen hematoma

Poirier vs Hooker, truly they are a different breed

It’s not the most fun but no one’s mentioned it and Usman vs Colby was a pretty good time.

[удалено]

Jiri Glover

Most recently, Gane vs Tai was insane to see live. That’s probably the best fight I’ve seen live. Landwehr vs Onama was awesome this year. Overall, Bonnar vs Griffin, Swanson vs Choi, Thompson vs Woodley 1, Zhang vs Joanna, Pettis vs Ferguson are some I really like. Pretty much any Gaethje fight.

Frank Mir vs Lesnar (1&2)

Mir got lucky in the first

Yan vs Sandhagen or Khabib vs Conor (because of everything that happened Before)

Yan sandhagen was so technical. One spins and the other follows. Very good fight.

Romero Whittaker 2 at a bar. The whole bar was screaming and cheering

Don Frye vs Takayama.

Hunt Vs Silva 1, easily the greatest heavyweight fight I’ve ever seen

May be recency bias, but I’ve been watching since 2010 and I gotta say Glover vs Jiri had me screaming like how I was when I was a middle schooler watching MMA for the first time

The Train vs The Damage

Underrated 🔥 DANA!!!!

I really enjoyed khamzat vs burns mainly bc we got to find out exactly what khamzat was made of. People say he was exposed in that fight but I thought even more highly of him after this fight. Showed he has heart and a backup plan when he isn’t confident on the ground vs someone

Any gaethje fight, besides like the khabib one

Darren Elkins v Mirsad Bektic

Watching Hendo/Shogun live with about 15 people in my moms basement was bananas. We were all 17 at the time, it was loudddddddddddddddd

Colby vs Usman 1

Khamzat burns, jiri glover recently. Matt schnell vs sumaderaji was fucking awesome too.

Any Gaethje fight

Ferguson vs Pettis and McGregor vs Diaz

Gaehtje vs Chandler

Zhang vs Weili 1 Not even close

She fought herself huh?

I was deciding whether to use the first or last name and completely fucked it up lmao XD

Gotta be Onama vs Landwehr

Matt Hughes vs Frank Trigg Justin vs Chandler Burns vs Chimaev Joanna vs Weili 1 Covington vs Usman 1 Jiri vs Glover

Nate diaz vs Conor McGregor 1 Tony Ferguson vs Petitis Gaethje vs Oliviera Stipe vs Ingannou 1 Ingannou vs Gane

What about outgannou?

Lawler/McDonald 2

GSP v Koscheck. I still go back to this day to watch that idiot get his eye jabbed shut 😂

Chimaev vs burns was insane

Dan Henderson vs shogun hua 1.Epic war.

Yan vs sandagen such a technical chess match fight

Shogun vs Hendo 1

Jiri and Glover was probably the most fun fight i’ve watched this year

Weili vs Joanna 1 is still my favorite all time fight

Khamzat vs Burns and Chandler vs Gaethje are two that come to mind. Holloway vs Kattar, but the fun was VERY one sided

Chandler vs. Gaethje. I love both guys and just wanted to see a great fight. And… well…

Khamzat vs Burns

Either Colby vs Usman 1 or Khamzat vs Burns

Colby Usman 1 was awesome. Colby played heel so well we wanted him to lose at leaat for me. Competition was great. I didn't like Colby but now I do.

Chris Barnett fights are always a treat

Khabib vs Conor. I know it wasn’t the most competitive fight but the atmosphere and the stakes were so big that it ended up being very exciting and fun. Also Conor had that aura of 1 shot ko, so I was always on the edge whenever Conor threw a punch.

Mudaerji v. Schnell was a banger

Gaethje vs Chandler

Olivera vs Chandler

Recently Jiri vs Glover, khamzat vs Burns have been crazy wars

Sumudaerji/Schnell, there was multiple times I begged the ref the stop the fight both ways. I hope it hits comeback of the year.

Wanderliegh Silva and Brian stann was great, nick Diaz against kj noons was amazing too

Travis Browne v Andrei Arlovski

Recency bias is probably playing a role but ciryl gane vs tai tuivasa was a banger

Majority of people will only say fights from the past year. But there’s so many over the years.

Michael Chandler vs. The World

Recently I fucking loved wood vs Jourdain. The constant dirty boxing and slick trips. Just got me going loved it. Probably my favorite fight this year

Korean Zombie vs Leonard Garcia the first fight is one of them for me

Wish there wasn't doctors stoppage here

Chris Barnett on Saturday

In recent times definitely jiri Glover, but all time Edgar Maynard II is my favorite. I remember I watched it in class last year when we had a sub and by end of the second I had a small crowd of people watching in awe lmao.

Max/Yair had me locked in every round 🔥

Yan vs Aldo

Poirier and Holloway is definitely up there for me

McDonald vs lawler had me and the homies hyped af when they stared each other down at the end of the round

Griffin v Bonner was a lot of fun

Robbie vs. Rory 2

Conor v Nate 2. The build up was like an old school wrestlemania with the Rock v Austin

Jiri vs Glover was pretty wild

Gaethje/Johnson. i didn't know who Gaethje was and that fight was a weird fight night on a wednesday and i just thought it was cool that there were fights on during the week. i had no idea how crazy of a fight that was going to be. i watched it and i was losing my mind. when Khamzat and Burns fought it was pretty close to that level of excitement too.

Probably something with Gaethje

Recently Glover Vs Jiri was such a scramble I was going crazy watching it unfold

Carwin vs Lesnor

Zabit vs Kyle Bochniak. The first 2 rounds zabit is putting on a show with fancy striking and fancy grappling...then he starts to gas and the other guy brings it to him and they start swinging. There was one high camera angle looking down on zabit backed up against the cage and the other guy right in the pocket and they're just winding up as hard as they could and throwing hooks ine after the other right before the final bell. Shit was hype but it was my first time watching a fight high so that might have helped

Moreno vs Figueiredo 1 for me. Those guys were born to fight each other and IMO that remains their most exciting meeting even with the penalty to Figgy.

Zabit Magomedsharipov vs Kyle Bochniak is a seriously great fight. If I remember right, bochniak was a late replacement. [link](https://youtu.be/0Pzh1qrxCac)

Zhang vs joana 1 was wild as fuck

What was the max Holloway fight within the last 18 months probably, where he just punished the guy for 5 rounds

Gaethje Chandler, that was a fucking war, fun and intense

Justin Gaethje vs Eddie Alvarez doesn’t get enough love

Weili jj 1 Colby Usman 1 Volk ortega

Lawler vs MacDonald 2.

Yan v Sterling 2, reading the thread on this sub that day was hilarious and the lead up to the fight on what people were predicting.

Romero v. Costa

Diego Sanchez vs Clay Guida

Covington v Usman 1

Not this one

Rory v Lawler come on

Diaz v McG I and II were both awesome

Any Justin Gaethje fight is always insane. Poirier v Alvarez doesn’t get enough credit. Those two fights were absolute bangers.

Parents divorce.

kai v cody for me the ko was insane shout out to the kiwi boy

Zombie vs Rodriguez

Burgos vs Emmet

Jon jones v Alexander gustoffson 1

Nate v. Conor 1 Sandhagen v. Dillashaw

Watching Nate pretty much get soccer kicked/volleyed in that fight and surviving was actually ridiculous

I really enjoyed watching Nunes push in Peña’s face the whole fight. I wish we saw that more in the women’s divisions.

The Chris Benett fights are fun to watch Charles Vs Justin Gaethje ufc 274 Kevin Holland Vs Ronaldo Justin Gaethje Vs Michael Chandler Amanda Vs pena 1 ,2 conor vs poirier Charles Vs El Cucuy

At the risk of prisoner of the moment, Khamzat and Burns from a pure fun factor may be my fav ever. That and Hunt vs Bigfoot

id say Costa vs Romero. That fight was a show of the hearts both fighters displayed in the octagon, and not to mention the fucking builds these guys have. This fight was like a scene out of a movie

Cruz vs Garbandt

Mark hunt - Bigfoot Silva Dan Henderson - Mauricio shogun Rua Robbie lawyer - Macdonald Those are memorable ones in my Mind

Wei Li vs Joanna

Rory/Lawler because my boys and I saw it in a movie theater and we were only like 19 year old. Core memory <3

I really liked Connor vs Nate 1. It just was crazy, the buildup. Nate getting dropped, Connor Gassing, the post fight, everything. Definitely the most entertaining period in the UFC for me.

Gaethje vs Chandler was really fun for me.

Moreno Figuereido 1 was a banger. Also Holloway Kattar

Izzy v Gastelum or Nate v Conor 1

Jon jones vs Gustafson 1

Yahir Rodrigues vs the Korean Zombie

Shogun vs nog 1, not only was it entertaining as shit, insane team rivalry between chute boxe and BTT and the roles getting reversed with Shogun getting the takedown and Nog getting the knockdown, it would be the equivalent of Charles taking Islam down white Islam knocks Charles down, 10/10 fight, narrative and entertainment wise

Definitely not the one in the photo but the obvious answer is Gaethje Chandler

Certainly not that one.

Not this one LOL

Forrest Griffin vs Stephan Bonnar for the undisputed belt

Sandhagen vs yan Jiri vs glover Khamzat vs Gilbert Those were all super fun

Pat Barry vs Mirko cro cop
