Mine Rankings at least 1 through 7

1. Jones Vs Gus(The Greatest Title fight ever IMO)
2. McGregor Vs Diaz 2(My Favorite Fight of All time)
3. Lawler Vs Rory 2(has IMO the single greatest moment in UFC history at the end of the 4th round when Rory and Lawler stare at each other)
4. Henderson Vs Rua 1(Incredible)
5. Silva vs. Sonnen 1(One of the greatest comebacks ever after one of the most surprising Dominate performances ever)
6. Hunt vs. Bigfoot(This fight Literally defies Logic and Human Ability, Theres simply no way either of these fighters should have been able to take the shots and punishment they took by HW fighters as big as they are)
7. Swanson vs. Choi (IMO the greatest "Firefight" ever, The best Wild, rockem-sockem robots type fight of all time)

after this it gets too close

what do think about this list and how is yours different?

I’ve only been a ufc fan for a few years , so I’ll have to think about some of the fights I’ve seen. Do they have to be ufc? I’m a big Matt mitrione fan

no, the FS1 show only did UFC fights because they have the rights to the UFC, But if you want to list other Great fights from all organizations thats fine

Honestly I don't see the greatness of either of the McGregor/Diaz fights. Conor kinda gassed in both fights.

The rest of them I agree with, even the sloppy Griffin/Bonnar because they never stopped swinging. Machida/Shogun 1 was a technical clinic put on by Shogun only to get robbed by all three judges. I would also put in Ben Henderson vs Clay Guida who upstaged Cain and JDS as they fought in UFC's first live broadcast on Fox.
