Is it on your greatest fight of all time top 10? I think Nog/Couture is a great one to start with you have some great stand up exchanges and also some great grappling in there

Edgar vs Griffin would be a good one to start with.

    I'd at least show a new fan my Top 3. Also, I'd add Henderson vs Bisping from UFC 100.

    It was an interesting 8 mins. They were literally going crazy at the end. It must have been Don Frye's Glorious Mustache!

    Nogueira vs Couture is actually the fight that turned me into a hardcore MMA fan.  Up until then I was just a casual fan and a huge Sens fan. 
    I still think Griffin vs Bonnar is the greatest fight of all time just because of the importance of it and the entertainment value.  That fight actually turned me into a casual fan when I watched it live years ago. 
    Silva vs Sonnen I think is simply my favourite fight to date.

    Griffin/Bonnar 1 would be a good start. If it saved a company it can create a fan.
