These are in no particular order but these are my favorites.

1. Kazushi Sakuraba vs Royce Gracie.

This fight was like so epic back in the day. The king of all mma in royce vs the japanese superstar. For all of you who don't know this fight. So basically back in the day some of the Gracies were fags and they only would fight fights on their terms. THey did this to preserve records (which i think are so overrated anyway) and told saku they wouldn't fight unless they had unlimited rounds/etc just random shit to make the fight so unappealing to anyone. Saku is like 'LETS DO IT' The fight lasted forever and it was a big cat and mouse fight. Saku was in his prime and he basically turned gracie into his bitch. Not taking anything away from Royce he did get saku into a few difficult positions but saku got through it and ended up legging kicking his way into a victory. It was more then just a victory, Royce's corner threw in the towell. This was like so epic imo. Great fight!

2. Fedor vs Nog 1

omfg... these guys are so the greatest hw of all time probably the greatest fighters of all time. When they met people were like "omg fedor's gnp he has to be in nog's guard to do it! there is no way he can win!" Fedor not only won but he turned nog's face into meat. But nog didn't care he continued to attack fedor and got so many near subs the whole fight but fedor always escaped by 1 second. It was such a great fight. Fedor fought basically his best fight ever and even then nog still almost stole it. Fedor wins by decision but this was just an awesome fight between two gods.

3. Randy vs Tito

rofl this fight was my fav cuz every single person who wasn't a huge mma nerd (like me) thought that tito was going to crush randy. I thought it was gonna be close with tito getting a decision but Randy basically leveled up and outwrestled, outstruck, outcardio tito into dust. IT was so awesome and such a technical inspirational fight. To basically beat tito in his own game convincingly was just astounding. I love this fight!

4. Little Nog vs Shogun

Oh my god shogun vs little nog. These guys imo when they fought were #1 and #2 in terms of talent in the division. Was back and forth shogun knocking nog down with nog knocking shogun down. Shogun doing flying superman punches into nog's guard. I love this fight, my fav thing is watching 2 guys who are at the top of the division battling each other at the top of each other's games. They both fought at 100% and shogun gets the UD of a great fight.

5. Rampage vs Wandy 2

This fight really is why imo wandy should always be in the convo for best 205er of all time. Rampage was a beast he was kiling people. First time around he was green and wandy crushed him. Second time you could tell he had leveled up and was going to give wandy a run. Boy did he ever. In the first round Rampage had the champ on the ropes and was crushing him on the ground. But then in the 2nd round wandy basically got pissed off and they were just going back and forth. Wandy basically went berserk and crushed rampage in the clinch and won by a manly ko. THis fight wasn't as hyped up or epic as the first 3... but it was one of my favs because wandy was losing and he never gave up and actually took the fight and increased the pace which was insane... but he came out with a crazy ko victory. Wandy is a hero.

there are tons of other fights... hansen vs uno... gomi vs kawajiri... sylvia vs randy... randy vs chuck 1... hanesn vs azeredo... guida vs heurta... griffin vs edgar... lots of other fights. But yeah those 5 are some of my favs.

i think sherdog hosts a highlight of it, i wouldn't recommend watching the full fight since it's an hour and a half long i think.

some extra fights

gomi vs azeredo - just awesome back and forth action
saku vs newton - this fight is pretty much the reason why i follow mma and took up bjj
aldana vs beecroft - aldana wasn't much in the ufc but he was huge in RITC (biggest az mma org) and this would be aldana's last fight before he died, myself and my buddy had front row seats for and spoke to him some after his fight.
nog vs sapp - the most inspirational fight in the history of the universe, AD version of david vs goliath.

and the endurance required for MMA, which has actions like punching and kicking bone and muscle with 1000-2500 PSI. - Taco

what the fuck how did i miss nog vs sapp. basically sapp powerbombs nog on his head, hits him with a bulldozer or as sapp calls it.. his hand... and nog still wins.

i will upload the royce vs sakuraba full fight to my FTP and post a DL. I'll probably also get the sapp vs nog fight as well. so stay tuned guys.

gomi vs azeredo you can get on youtube.

omfg saku vs newton. Newton is so good on the ground but he goes against the man who invented a new form of submission wrestling and newton has no idea what to do.

it's like if cts went back in time 20 years and played people hu cash games.

they would jsut be like "WHAT IS HAPPENING"
