What is the greatest fight in MMA history?
As we all know there are a lot of wars between two fighters which we can remember. In this poll I want to add significance also, the fight needed to have a impact on all of MMA or had to just be one of the greatest fights people will talk about for years.
Here are the first nominees I have so far.
Possibly the most biggest and most anticipated fights in MMA history. Fedor's unblemished Pride record against the greatest Striker of our time.
Rumors of Fedor ducking the Croatian sensation while he nursed lingering injuries only fueled the hype and speculation for this fight. This fight put a stamp on Fedor's reign as the greatest Pride FC Champion ever.
A fight that took two years, 2 promotions, 2 fight losing streaks, 2 businessmen's negotiations and 2 events that the fight almost happened at, and the fold of one of the greatest MMA companies ever to happen. When the fight finally happened it was everything we expected and than some. Wanderlei knocked down Chuck 2 times with a punch. Chuck took down Wanderlei 2 times. Afterwards everyone who saw the fight was begging for Chuck vs Wanderlei 2.
Other notable fights.
Forrest Griffin Vs Stephan Bonner, at the TUF 1 finale. Maybe the most important fight in Modern day MMA.
Don Frye Vs Takayama, one if not the greatest stand up wars ever witnessed.
Chuck Liddell vs Randy Couture 2, the changing of the guard fight for the UFC's Light Heavyweight division.
Two of the most fiercest rivals and competitors in all of MMA. Squaring off for the 2nd time, their first meeting was fireworks in the ring. The second fight was no different as Wanderlei finished Rampage again by kneeing him for the finish.
I know I do not have every good fight so I will leave this thread for a day so I can begin the Poll with the top selections tommorow.
My personal pick is Cro Cop Vs Nogueira.
