I was thinking and I tried to compile a list of of the greatest fights of all time in my opinion. Not just in UFC, MMA overall. Not just by the actually fight. But by intrigue,by the star power,by the build up,and ofcourse the actual fight. What is your list? this can be top 10 or top 5, anything you want. But combining all of that together i think intrigue-wise,star power-wise,build up-wise,and actual fight-wise all those factors into one, i think Fedor Emelianenko vs. Cro Cop is the one. Number 2 i would have to give it to Chuck Liddell vs. Wanderlei Silva. Number 3 for me would be, Shogun vs. Hendo(to me you just cant leave the "Thrilla in Manilla" of MMA out of this). Im only doing top 3, what's your list?

How dare you not include the Mir Vs Brock Lesnar II fight? lol. Seriously though that was a big one. Lesnar vs Couture was a big one too.
Liddell vs Ortiz I and 2 were huge
You're right about Fedor vs Cro Cop, that was huge AND it was a great fight.
Hendo vs Shogun was a great fight, but it didn't have the hugest draw, even on free TV.
JDS vs Cain on FOX 1 drew 7 mil views, that was a huge fight. Had a huge build up too.
GSP vs BJ Penn 2 spawned the first Primetime TV special.
Godzilla vs King Kong was big too, can't forget that one.

you nailed #1. mir vs brock 2. probably the most hyped fight i've ever seen. and speaking of brock, lesnar vs carwin might not crack the top 3, but definitely top 5. it was billed as the battle of the 2 largest humans ever to enter the octagon.
