In other words, the most technical performance. I'll say Anderson Silva on Leben, Irvin, and Griffin. Also Velasquez for his clinic on Nogueria, Joe was drooling over Cain's combos and strikes. Though Nog has a "go ahead and hit me" approach to strike defense and this is the reason Cain shouldn't be overrated for his rout, it was a very technical rout.
And what Maia did to Sonnen was beautiful, I probably replay that throw in my mind once or more a day.
GSP on Hardy, BJ and Alves.
Fitch on Ben Saunders, Thiago.
Liddell on Ortiz twice, Couture twice and Babalu.
Aoki on Kawajiri, Hirota, Hansen, Alvarez.

Ooh have to disagree, It was Huertas first loss in the UFC and Florians first decision victory in his whole career. I would say his wins against Guida, Gomi, Cope, Stout, Lauzon, Thomas, Stevenson. He tends to beat them on the feet get it to the ground and beat them there too.

I thought it was a textbook example of effective point fighting.

Ok, i saw it as a more classic performance and implementing the game plan to perfecting

How about Silva/Franklin I
Once Silva got that clich it was a thai clinic on how to break down the body to expose the head and finish.

This. And St Pierre/Hardy. Couture/Sylvia was domination too. Whoever sotiropolous fought on the Penn/Florian card was a pretty good display of jitz also. Penn/Sanchez. To name a few

Yeah I realized afterwards that the OP likely meant it like "Oh this fight is textbook [fighter] behavior".
