My Top 5 UFC TUF Fights.

Intro.

Over the years TUF has given us great moments, but most importantly, excellent fights. here are some of my favourites.

5 Roy Nelson vs Kimbo Slice Season 10.

Season 10 of the show was the first to feature an all heavyweight cast, and this fight was a stand out. Roy dominated the street fighter, but Kimbo showed what heart he had, and never gave in, and this is why he became so endearing in his career. Kimbo would pass away seven years after appearing on the show, from a collaped lung. RIP Big man.

4 Frank Lester vs James Wilks Season 9.

These guys went to war on two Occassions during the filming of the show, and both fights were barn burners, so both are on this list.

3 Rob Emerson vs Nate Diaz Season 5.

I love this fight, and even though the show was in its infantry stage, it still delivered in the bangers department, and this was one of them. Emerson may have lost, but he went out like a warrior.

2 Al Iaquinta vs Michael Chiesa Season 15.

Season 15 of TUF was the only true experiment in the shows history, because they turned up the notch, and went Live for the first time, and as the weeks unfolded the nature of these two lightweights came to shine. Michael Chiesa overcoming adversity to beat Al in the finale was a real triumph. Early in the season he was told that his dad had passed away, and this become the focus of this fight, because he was in my opinion being guided by something greater than himself, the love of family members who aren't here anymore. Al on the other hand is a Ray Longo, and Matt Serra graduate, and he proved it during the season. It goes to show, that the Serra Longo gym, produces some absolute warriors.

1 Forrest Griffin vs Stephan Bonnar Season 1.

I love this fight. The only thing that can say about this fight is this. Were would MMA be without this fight.
