I don't think there should be doubt in anybodys mind as far as the top fight is concerned.
Griffin vs Bonnar 1 was by far one of the most exciting fights ever. On top of that it played a HUGE role in bringing back old fans plus a ton of new ones.
I would be completely shocked if this fight wasn't chosen as #1. It was just so important for many reasons, TUF was in danger of not being renewed for additional seasons but this fight changed that as well.
No other fight in MMA history has had the short and long term effects that this one has, and while there may be a handful of fights that were just as exciting none breathed everlasting life into MMA like this one did.
