    Miguel Torres vs. Takeya Mizugaki. Never have I ever seen 5 rounds fought at that frantic of a pace with that much action at that high a skill level. I don't know if I ever will again.

    Definitely Randy Couture vs. Noguiera...that fight was crazy...

    Guida/Sanchez

    Posted By: WilliamMorgan (Guest)  on December 24, 2009 at 02:41 AM

     
     
    Tokoro/Cullum was the best,Torres/Mizugaki and Faber/Brown honorable mentions

    For me it's between Shogun vs Machida and Penn vs Sanchez. Shogun was supposed to get killed but instead he fought on hell of a fight, and it gives us the rematch. Sanchez comes in with his mean/scary face again and BJ beat the shit out of him for the entire fight. It was awesome!! I can't stand Sanchez, and seeing his after fight pictures filled me with holiday cheer.

    Diaz/Smith. What did he land? 180 strikes or something? Otherwise, I think Couture/Nogueria actually had the most action, near submissions, and edge-of-your-seat anticipation than any other match. Everyone was just waiting for one of these guys to make that come-from-behind victory snatch

    I'm going out on a limb here and saying that Mir-Lesnar 2 was the FOTY for its historical significance. This fight changes MMA. This fight, both before and after, spawned one of the greatest rivalries in MMA. The absolute beating that Brock laid on Mir is legendary. Mir, having enough pride for 10 heavyweights, seems to have learned from his mistakes and has worked harder than ever before in his career to get back to fighting Brock again. Mir has always been the talented phenom without any work ethic. Brock is the phenom with work ethic. Brock woke Mir up, slapped his ass around, and then made him his bitch. Mir now has the kind of hatred and rage for Brock that either makes or breaks a man. So far it seems he's made himself a far better fighter with his domination of a very tough Cheick Kongo. If he continues on with this dominance to get back to Brock then you can honestly make the argument that this is one of the most influential fights ever.

    If Scottyieoittie actually took responsibility for your actions, maybe she wouldn't have to track you down. White Trash move.

    Gilbert Melendez vs. Josh Thomson II (Strikeforce: Evolution)

    But I also think the Main Event from Evolution between Cung Le & Scott Smith is right up there too.

    Hague vs Duffy by far the best

    Posted By: Guest#5287 (Guest)  on December 24, 2009 at 01:04 PM

     
     
    torres/mizgaki-the prime example why i watch mma.

    Posted By: rey (Guest)  on December 24, 2009 at 01:28 PM

     
     
    Torres/Mizgaki gets my vote but honorable mentions to Henderson/Cerrone and Melendez/Thompson II, all great fights but Torres Mizagaki just had that extra something special.

    Couture vs. Big Nog and Fedor vs. Rogers

    Kimbo vs Houston!

    Diego Sanchez vs. Clay Guida (The Ultimate Fighter Finale 9) by a long shot!

    Posted By: Sam Banks (Registered)  on December 24, 2009 at 05:00 PM

     
     
    1.Ben Henderson vs Cerrone-Just a fanatstic match, from start to finish it was brilliant.

    I think Kampmann vs Condit is overlooked as well, excellent match that showed all MMA skills.

    Ben Henderson vs. Donald Cerrone (WEC 43)

    Posted By: kid (Guest)  on December 24, 2009 at 05:22 PM

     
     
    Couture vs Nog from that list was an epic war. But my personal FOTY was Smith VS Benji

    scott smith vs cung le nuff said

    i have to say silva vs griffin.

    yes it was one sided. it showed the difference being a really good vs maybe the greatest ever.


    Posted By: jd (Guest)  on December 24, 2009 at 11:11 PM

     
     
    Frankie Edgar vs. Sean Sherk. Edgar put on a clinic. A close second would be any BJ Penn fight. He's on another planet right now, and made both Florian and Sanchez look like amateur punks.

    Posted By: Guest#9242 (Guest)  on December 25, 2009 at 05:00 AM

     
     
    I have to go with Nog/Couture or Hiroyuki Takaya vs Bibiano Frenandes from the DREAM Featherweight tourney finals

    Brown/Faber 2 was hindered by Faber breaking both of his hands and being forced to resort to open hand strikes and elbows for the final round. Guida Sachez all the way.

    Posted By: Paul (Guest)  on December 27, 2009 at 12:35 AM

     
     
    Runner up - Miguel Torres vs. Takeya Mizgaki

    Winner - Guida vs Sanchez
