With Couture vs Nog on the horizen one cant help to notice that "dream matches" dont come to fans until they are too late.
example:
Liddell vs Silva - at one time the most anticipated match of all time between the two greatest LHW's....finally fought after both were coming off back to back loses
Franklin vs Henderson - at one time were the two greatest MW's in the world....when they finally fought...nobody cared
Ortiz vs Belfort - both got dominated by couture before they finnally fought
Nog vs Couture - both coming off KO losses
Shogun vs Liddell - blah
Lesnar vs Fedor - time is ticking
Silva vs GSP - Make it happen
Fedor vs Crocop remains the only superfight in modern MMA
Fedor vs. Cro Cop only superfight that happened???? What about:
Ken Shamrock vs. Royce Gracie 2
Ken Shamrock vs. Dan Severn
Quinton Jackson vs. Wanderlei Silva
Ricardo Arona vs. Wanderlei Silva
Ricardo Arona vs. Shogun Rua
Frank Shamrock vs. Tito Ortiz
Chuck Liddell vs. Tito Ortiz
i said modern MMA....
CHUCK VS TITO was not a superfight
arona vs shogun was not a superfight
jackson vs silva was not a superfight
Ortiz vs. Liddell was modern UFC and a Superfight. I don't get the point of this thread....
Couture vs. Nog would have happened if Couture didn't lost to Valentijn Overeem.....
Liddell vs. Silva didn't happen because they were in different orgs in their primes.
And GSP vs. Anderson is kinda pointless since they are totally different weight classes. BJ vs. GSP already happened where it was a superfight from different weight classes and the bigger guy won, and the bigger guy will always win, so its not fair to GSP.
Ortiz/Liddell 1 was definitly a superfight.
RKing85 - Ortiz/Liddell 1 was definitly a superfight.
why, because they had both been beat by randy? or because chuck had been destroyed by rampage and had never held a belt?
Nog-Fedor 2 may qualify...
Silva-franklin was not very anticipated
GSP/PENN 2....I was never sold on that fight...GSP VS HUGHES 2 WAS CLOSER TO A SUPER FIGHT
Hughes v Gracie
Tito v Chuck
Chuck v Randy
Tito v Ken
Wandy V saku
GSP V Hughes
Some of the biggest super fights in MMA history mofo.
Hughes vs Gracie....these two were never in their prime at the same time
same goes for tito vs shamrock
Chuck vs Randy 2 - a great fight no doubt...but wandy and shogun were still ranked above them
better late than never
