My Top 5 List Of UFC Fights That Shook My Ground.
Intro.
It's no secret that I'm a massive UFC fan, I never miss PPV's, or fight night events. Even though My love for this sport has never wained. There are a selection of fights that completely left me feeling like wow, what have I just witnessed. So this list is a look at those fights with my view on short hindsight.
5 Diego Sanchez vs Clay Guida Ultimate Fighter Season 9 finale.
I remember watching this show and coming away with the thought, wow what a card. Two Brits came away as season winners, and this fight took away fight of night. Month, and year accolades, and it was well deserved. Both men put on a war in the cage that lasted for five rounds in the main event of this show. And at that moment I coined my own phrase, never count out those Lightweights.
4 Dan Henderson vs Mauricio Shogun Hua UFC 139.
This fight doesn't always get mentioned, in the best MMA fights of all time debate, but I feel that it gets overlooked. This was a war, that came at a time when the success of the UFC was going from strength to strength, and I feel that what these two did on this one night in November of 2011 was something that was needed.
3 Israel Adesanya vs Kelvin Gastlelum UFC 236.
I'm ready to die were the words that came from the mouth of Israel Adesanya, to his opponent Kelvin Gastlelum. This is a priceless war that will live on the memory of all UFC fans forever.
2 Rich Franklin vs Chuck Liddell UFC 112.
This fight wasn't a war, it was a sad reminder that one of the greats of this sports career was coming to an end. The days of the Iceman were just starting to become a memory, but given what we know now about CTE. It's probably for the best that Chuck bowed out after this fight.
1 Connor Mcgregor vs Jose Aldo UFC 194.
From the over exhausting hype train, caused by Connor, to him knocking out Aldo in 16 seconds, to cement his legacy. Pure priceless.
