Hands down Rampage vs Liddell, Rampage looked like he got into the bath salt that night.

@Justin How long have you been watching MMA? These are all pretty recent fights..

Mirko vs Wandy 1 is the best staredown of all time.. Anything is just wrong in my opinion!

Guida and Sanchez is a close 2nd in my books but those guys were just mean mugging eachother whereas Mirko and Wandy looked like if you put them in an alley then only one guy was leaving alive.. Just scary **** overall

Cro Cop and Wand is the correct answer. Jaffa is correct. This is not a matter of opinion.

@Justin no offence but how recently did you get into MMA, because none of those staredowns mentioned (Well most atleast) aren't that great at all and they are all very recent you are missing a ton that are WAY better then those.

Diego usually just looks silly during the staredowns. He makes the same face most 5 year olds make if you tell them to "show an angry face."

I like Sanchez but that's why I didn't list him, that isn't even a mean mug. He just looks like a dumbass.

Haha cool, I just like this staredown cause they look like they are about to do something else than fighting actually...or maybe it's just my dirty mind.

Also YES YES Diego's mean face makes me laugh hard every time that's why I choose that pic..

@Jaff I've been watching for about 6 years (I'm 15), but that one slipped my mind for some reason. It definitely would have been on there if I was actually thinking right when I made the ranking.
