Was a great fight but I got Bermudez/Grice, Swanson/Poirier and Silva/Stann ahead of it

I have it at 3 right now... I loved the Curran Pitbull fight. If Hendricks had done more w/ his TD's, I may have moved it up to 2.

Top 5 for me up til now, but the year's still starting. I have it at #4 after Bermudez vs. Grice, Silva vs. Stann and Rousey vs. Carmouche.

Watson/Nedkov is a good call @grizzley.. that one slipped my mind.

@Kalibo Yeah, that was a good back and forth brawl.

Have you seen Cramer vs. Rogers?

That was a great fight too that no one has listed. Was rather surprising actually as it's a good fight. Highly recommend it.

Bermudez & Grice both went at it and beat the piss out of each other which makes me favor it for FOTY so far.

With all due respect to Hendricks, Condit was the one who made that fight incredible for the most part. It takes 2 to fight but Condit's mental strength to get up every time Hendricks took him down, his willingness to take punch after punch from such a dangerous guy just to land 1 strike and to top it off him going after Johny relentlessly until the very last second of the fight was what made that fight spectacular.

I'm being biased seeing as Condit is my favorite fighter but he really doesn't get the respect or the credit he deserves for the level of fighter that he has developed himself into.
