Help me come up with some magazine article ideas. . .

[SPX]

Alright 10. Fedor/werdum, Anderson/Sonnen, Cro cop/Gonzaga, Bisping/Hendo, Anderson/Belfort, Belfort/Rockhold, Wand Rampage 2 (or whatever one went thru the ropes), Rampage/Arona, Nog/Mir 2...and for shits and giggles, Nick Diaz/Gomi

Bisping/Hendo is a great one. I'd definitely include Belfort/Rockhold if I wasn't doing Barboza/Etim, but I think overall Barboza's was better.

I may need to do 10 for the main article and then a sidebar with 5 runners-up.

[Mr. IWS]

Oh, and Serra over GSP. Of course.

Thats another good one.

Matt Wiman vs Mac Danzig at UFC 115.

Kimbo-Houston Alexander

[SPX]

Okay, y'all are getting stupid.

Also: Gary Goodridge giving Paul Herrera permanent dain bramage with elbows from the back crucifix position.

This has got to be there. It is so gruesome.

Kimbo-Houston Alexander

Houston Alexander-Keith Jardine

[SPX]

So here's my tentative list, in no particular order:

Goodridge/Herrera
Serra/GSP
Anderson/Chael I
Gonzaga/CroCop
Rampage/Arona
Wand/Rampage 2(?) . . . like Vandelay said, whichever one where he went through the ropes
Machida/Couture
Barboza/Etim
Hendo/Bisping
Fedor/Werdum

And 5 Runners Up:

Mir/Nog 2
Fedor/Arlovski
KZ/Garcia II
Imada/Masvidal
Belfort/Rockhold


Thoughts? Objections? Anyone want to make an argument that something is getting unjustly left out?

Now that I think about, it seems like Kongo/Barry should be on there somewhere. That shit was crazy. . .

[Svino]

There are so many great finishes, it's hard to object. But of the fights not yet named:

Favorite submission finish: Chonan over Silva.
Favorite KO finish: Sell over Smith.
Favorite old-school finish: Pardoel over Weit (I think this may have something to do with the 12-6 elbow rule).

I just rewatched Coleman/Williams. After Pete Williams knocks Coleman out one of the announcers say, "And the Lion's Den is victorious yet again!"

It made me wonder what it is that causes a fight camp to go from being one of the best in the world to toiling in obscurity with no notable fighters or notable wins. I don't know. But the Lion's Den, Hammer House and MFS are all dead as far as I can tell.

Funny story, I literally just drove by a Lions Den that opened where I get my hair cut. It is in the same building that used to be a McDonalds when I was a teenager.

McDojo Irony!

BOL. I wonder what ties it has exactly to the original shit.
