A couple thst were not as fun as originally anticipated, mostly because they were postponed so long due to injury
Rampage vs Rashad
Matt Hughes vs Matt Serra

Those were good pre-fight grudges but the actual fights left a little to desire.
But for my money the best grudge match/fight was Frye/Shamrock in Pride.

Is this UFC only? the best grudge match in MMA history is easily Wanderlei Vs. Rampage 2 IMO. There was real hate against those 2, and the controversy of the first fight made the rematch something special. Not to mention the fight turned out to be one of the best MMA fights of that era.
Tito Vs. Ken is also a big one.

Truth. The whole UFC specification is the only reason Wand/Page I&II weren't both at the top of my list.

One that I don't know how high up there it is but in hindsight is the Rockhold & Bisping rivalry. Honestly I didn't think it would turn into what it is.
