1.Anderson Silva vs. Rich Franklin
2.Fedor vs. Sylvia
3.Jon Jones vs. Shogun
4.Rampage vs. Liddell
5. Cain Velasquez vs. Brock Lesnar

GSP vs. Fitch,
BJ Penn vs Stevenson
pretty much Cain Velasquez vs anybody he has faced, even the Kongo fight was brutal imo.
Dos Santos vs Roy Nelson
Chael Sonnen vs Anderson Silva...hey, a beatdown is a beatdown...
I would add these, these are certainly worthy of being top 15.

Is this list in order because I would take down Rampage vs. Liddell because Rampage didn't really dominate, he just caught Liddell with a good punch and finished quickly...It doesn't really make sense being number 4...

and exactly what do you mean when you say

Ya those are good, I was going to put in penn-stevenson but joe was never considered a top fighter.

I used silva/leban and jones/vlad as examples because leban and vlad werent top fighters. just like a lauzon vs. ruidiger or nick diaz vs. scott smith. We could find a ton of fights that were beatdowns, in the ufc and lower level mma, but these fights have a a lot more meaning.

hmmm...they (the Lebens, the Stevensons, the reudigers) weren't top top fighters in the world, but they are still high level MMA fighters...Stevenson fought for a title for petes sake, I think that qualifies him as a top fighter actually...

So technically, the title of this thread is beatdowns in high level MMA and well, the UFC is high level MMA so any beatdown in the UFC should have the right to be on a top 15 list...

I think the top 15 should be NOTABLE and MEMORABLE top 15 beatdowns in high level MMA. I think.

I guess it depends on how people would define "high level mma" but that is why I tried to explain it. If we included all the fights, there would be much more to add. I go to local show on a monthly basis, you see a ton of beatdowns. Not because they are great, but because of the mismatches.

Its not just the beatdown, it is who you are beating down.

leban crushing jason thacker or guillard beating down ruidiger.... vs. Anderson beating down hendo or franklin or what jones did to shogun.

Off the top of my mind:
Lesnar/Mir II
JDS/Nelson
Jones/Shogun
Wand/Sakuraba
Arona/Sakuraba
Rampage/Chuck
GSP/Penn II

Penn/Sanchez was far worse to me than any of his other beatdowns.
Bigfoot/Fedor (God, it hurts to say it)
GSP/Koscheck 2 was really bad
GSP/Fitch was equally bad

Ya, if your going on strictly what their face looks like after the fight, then these might be the top fights for sure. GSP dominated fitch and Koscheck and beat them up. Bj lit diego up standing, making him go back up a weight class. Fedor vs. bigfoot is a fight id like to forget.
