Where does Weidman/Silva II rank among the most anticipated fights of all time and what is the most anticipated fight of all time? Silva/Sonnen II? St-Pierre/Penn II? Lesnar/Mir II? Liddell/Ortiz II? Maybe it's too early to ask the first question.

Silva-Sonnen 2 was my most anticipated. But I think Couture-Liddell 2 was the most anticipated...maybe Penn-St. Pierre because it was champion vs champion

I am really looking forward to Silva vs Weidman 2 maybe more than any other fight. Maybe Couture vs Liddell 2 but it's hard to say.

Fedor Emeliankeno vs Mirko Cro Cop was always my most anticipated. However in recent memory Silva vs Sonnen 2 was up there. I am really looking forward to this.

Seriously most anticipated?

Fedor vs Couture or Fedor vs Lesnar in the UFC. Those are the real ones

The previously mentioned Fedor vs. Couture and Fedor vs. Lesnar fights were the 2 fights most anticipated in the history of MMA that never happened.

Fedor in the UFC against anyone in general was one of the most anticipated things that never happened.

Some of the previously mentioned fights such as GSP vs. Penn II and Silva vs. Sonnen II are some of the most anticipated fights in the history of the UFC.

Some of the most anticipated fights that haven't happened yet are GSP vs. Anderson and Anderson vs. Jones.

I've always liked the idea of Aldo vs Henderson or Henderson vs GSP.
