Here's mine. May do my indepth reasoning for why I picked them later but not now :D

Edit: Not seen Bellator 58 yet so don't ask me why Alverez vs Chandler isn't on there

I think Cung Le vs Wanderlei Silva has to be up there that was a war!

Henderson vs Miller was more enjoyable, since I have an emotional investment in Henderson and the beat down he put on miller while survivng submission attempts just made it awesome. Also, while Shogun/Hendo was a war, there were lulls in the action. When it did explode it made up for it hence why Shogun vs Hendo makes the list.

Hmmmm..may move it above Diaz vs Penn...give it a bit more thought. Might also add Le vs Silva.

I guess I'm the only one who wasn't that impressed by the Edgar/Maynard fights, they were good, but not as good as most people are making them out to be.

And last night might have been the most epic night in MMA history, Shogun/Hendo, Alvarez/Chandler, and Silva/Le were all awesome fights.

Two of my top 5 fights for this year happened on the same night near the end of November, pretty sweet.  Wish I would've been able to watch the Alvarez/Chandler fight live, but The Score wasn't airing the fights until the UFC PPV started.  If anyone hasn't seen it, I suggest you go to MMAjunkie.com and watch it right now.

I think me watching Alvarez v. Chandler after I knew Alvarez got subbed really ruined that fight for me.

@fglop Yeah same here!  I went to check the results, assuming that Alvarez won by decision, and when I saw that Chandler subbed him I was like ****!!!  I hate watching fights knowing the outcome, I did the same thing for UFC 138.

Well considering I've never seen that whole fight and didn't even know what MMA was back then, nope :P

Figured that was the case. But really you shouldn't check results for major MMA shows anyway. Like going straight to the last page at the back of the book.
