What is your favorite fight? Why?
If you could only show one fight to someone to try to get them to be a fan, which would you choose?
My fave is Edgar vs Maynard 3. I was so glad to finally see Frankie decisively vanquish gray after a loss and a draw.
If I was showing a non-fan a fight I would probably show lawler vs Rory.
To make them become a fan?
Lesner vs Carwin
Diaz McGregor 1&2
Diaz va Silva
Rousey vs Holm
We talking only mma?
The greatest fight I ever watch live was Gatti vs Ward 1. Anyone who was a boxing fan at that time knew it had potential to be a great fight and it somehow exceeded all expectations.
My personal favorite mma fight was Chuck vs Wanderlei, it would’ve been better if it happened about 2 years earlier but it was a good fight that I never thought would really happen.
Hughes, Trigg 2 or Penn Hughes 2.
Matt was in deep deep trouble both fights and won.
BJ had Matt it a Triangle for 3 minutes tights and he hung on to get out of the round. By the second BJs legs were shot.
Hughes is one tough motherfucker.

That whole trilogy was good, but nothing will ever beat that first fight. Crazy how much heart those two put on display.

Rousey vs Holm
Diaz Vs Silva?? That “fight” was a fucking snooze fest. The most exciting thing that happened was Nick lying down and taunting.
Rest of your list is good though, I’d add Lawler Vs Condit
Hendo vs shogun 1
Sanchez vs guida
Sanchez vs Melendez
Ferguson vs pettis last week

Agree. When I gety first started watching, Hughes was my fave. Both of the trigger fights were awesome and played a huge part in getting me hooked.
When Nate beat the shit out of Conor in both fights

Hahaha. Are you trying to ruffle some feathers sir?
Frankie Edgar Vs Gray Maynard 2 and 3
Iron Army for life because of those two fights,
Never seen example of heart and courage under pressure like that!
Lawler/ McDonald 2.

Hell yes
Fedor Fujita
Crocop Big Nog
Shogun/Noguiera 1. Beautiful display of MMA.
Hughes/Sherk. Don’t know why, just loved it.
Fedor/Cro Cop. Everything about it was magic.
Ortiz/Liddell 1. FINALLY.
Mcgregor/Aldo. Loved the lead up and made a small fortune on what I felt was a cast iron guaranteed result.
Nog-Sapp
Diaz-Gomi
I always mention this fight in these threads because it might not be the absolute best, but it is right up there..... however it always get sooooooo vastly overlooked and underrated.... Nog vs Randy from UFC 102
Gotta throw Jones/Gus in there.
