Just wanted to create a discussion on the all time greatest MMA fights (not just UFC) thought it would be interesting to hear everyone's suggestions

Overrated, wish it happened 2 years prior when they were feeding Chuck Jeremy Horn/Babalu, Wandy didn't f--- Chuck like he said he would. Disappointment all round

Other than the obvious mentions...

That fight was too much fun.

I enjoyed Silvia vs. Leben. Not that the fight was anywhere near close but at the time not as many people knew about Anderson Silvia and he just picked Chris Leben apart. Dominant performance over Rich Franklin was also great.

I remember Chuck pulled out all the stops with a takedown. Seriously though 2 years earlier and Wandy becomes a much bigger star in NA.
