I just went through and updated mine. Curious what other people have got and if there's an argument for changing up my top 10.

I don't have Diaz/Daley on mine, but that's definitely round of the year. I have not seen Spiritwolf/Jara or Whitson/Demarce. Otherwise we have the same basic fights in the top 10.

Siver/Sotiropoulos is in mine because I was very pleased to see G-sot getting tooled. I don't like him for some reason, and was so sick of all the hype he was getting for a 7 win streak over weak fighters.

I updated mine after the last ufc event. I have pretty much every fight i've seen this year included. However i need to add Lombard/vitale and a couple of bamma fights. Don't think any of them make the top 10 though. My list includes my interest level in the fight, so hype is taken into consideration. That's why there aren't so many of the great undercard fights that have taken place.
