Top 10 Best UFC Fights Of All Time In MMA History
There are many good fights in UFC history, but what makes one fight more memorable than the next? There are a lot of factors to consider when choosing a fight. For example, some fans prefer classic bouts’ back and forth action, while others enjoy historical context, improbable comebacks, and iconic foes. Still, others enjoy the pure thrill of a great scrap. Whatever the case, we’ve listed some of the best fights in UFC history.
Forrest Griffin vs. Stephan Bonnar
This highly entertaining fight has many great moments, but none quite rivals Forrest Griffin vs. Stephan Bonner in the best UFC bouts in MMA history. It was a light heavyweight matchup that lasted only 15 minutes but earned both fighters six-figure contracts. This fight was a must-see for any MMA fan.
Anderson Silva vs Wanderlei Silva
In my opinion, this is one of the greatest fights ever in mixed martial arts. Anderson Silva nearly submitted Wanderlei Silva in the first round but stayed standing and won the crowd over with a massive right hand. This fight will go down in MMA history and is one of the best title fights. Despite Wanderlei’s ten-year reign as a light heavyweight, Anderson Silva’s performance makes this fight stand out.
Frank Shamrock vs. Tito Ortiz
This UFC fight is a classic, as the two men battled in three rounds to end the first round. Ortiz was more aggressive and larger than Shamrock, but he could control the fight on the feet, with Shamrock unable to land a knockout. The fight was also a masterpiece of wrestling based on Ortiz’s strong frame.
Dan Henderson vs Mauricio “Shogun” Rua
The first UFC title fight between two Brazilians, Dan Henderson and Mauricio “Shogun,” was an instant classic, despite several disputed details. Shogun won unanimously, landing 96 power strikes during the fight compared to Henderson’s 77. Henderson was a two-time Olympic wrestler and had a great chin, but Rua’s power stifled his defense and eventually won.
Royce Gracie vs. Gerard Gordeau
In a fight that is often compared to a wrestling match, Royce Gracie vs. Gerrard Gordeau is one of the greatest ever in the UFC. Royce had won three submission fights and was a heavy favorite in the match, which took place on November 12, 1993, in Denver, Colorado. The bout featured no weight classes, and both fighters dominantly dominated their opponents. The fight was a classic example of how grappling was used in the UFC, and the impact that Gracie had on its sport was incredible.
