Default Your top 5 favorite MMA fights ever
Simple question - name your 5 favorite MMA fights of all time.

Threads like these arise from time to time, but a) I rarely see the results tallied and b) folks NEVER keep their answers to 3, or 5, or 10, or however many are asked for.

So, if you name >5 fights, I will take the first 5 you name

After a while I'll make a simple tally of the results, counting the # of times each fight appeared on a top-5 list.

Any time, any org, any weight, any result, any fighters - your top 5 favorite MMA fights. Ordering them isn't required - simply picking 5 fights is hard enough!

I'll start:

Matt Hughes vs. BJ Penn II, UFC 63
Nick Diaz vs. Takanori Gomi, PRIDE 33
Randy Couture vs. Tim Sylvia, UFC 68
Fedor Emelianenko vs. Kevin Randleman, PRIDE Critical Countdown 2004
Forrest Griffin vs. Stephan Bonnar I, TUF 1 Finale

In no certian order:

Hughes vs Trig II-Went nuts when Hughes slamed Trig after getting hit in his
Couture vs Sylvia-Wanted Sylvia too lose so bad
Chuck vs Tito II-Fell right into the pre-fight hype
Penn vs GSP-Two awesome fighters putting on an equally awesome fight
Hureta vs Guida-Just a nonstop, give your all fight

"Fedor Emelianenko vs. Kevin Randleman, PRIDE Critical Countdown 2004"

Hehe, Lol.
A sense of humor is a good thing.

Gosh there's so many good ones mabey I can think of 5 good ones but not nessisarily my faves:

Herring/fedor
Jackson/chuck 1
Barnett/rizzo1
sergei/rizzo
diaz/lawler

In fact all five of them could be diaz's fights back in UFC before he started getting lazy and slow recently.
As you can see I do like the finishes. I also like a good action packed back and forth to the decision, but I do get left with a tiny feeling that I didn't get the cherry on top.
