Thanks for the responses. I may go back and watch some of these events myself. From around UFC 5 to about UFC 70 my knowledge is a little spotty because I really wasn't following the sport. Anything I know from that time period is just stuff I've learned or seen after the fact.

Ludo, I see that you're not really giving any attention to the women in your list. It seems like you at least have to have one Rousey event if someone is going to truly understand where the sport is today.

My knowledge about Pride is truly shoddy indeed because Pride was just wrapping up about the time that I started watching MMA again.
