1&2 each other
3. I liked how he fought against Fitch, he was so technically sound that night
4. Hendo vs Shogun is to obvious, i am going with Hendo vs Wlad
5. Couture vs Liddell I
6. Silva vs Ramage II
7. Bas is just Bas!
8. BJ vs Machida even though he "lost" he went and stood up with a guy 30 lbs heavier
9. Edgar = Heart
10. Big Nog vs Sylvia and cro cop and Sapp and that truck. (when he was given a less then 10% of living) that is an epic win for me

1. Tito's redemption against Ryan Bader, just so ridiculously happy after watching that
2. Silva destroying Forrest Griffin, that was just amazing
3. The first fight I ever saw of his, against Urijah Faber at UFC 132. His style is just so sick.
4. Against Brett Rogers, he just dominated him. Favorite part was when he just grabbed Rogers and threw him like he was a backpack.
5. Two of them, Leben vs Terry Martin where he's getting killed for 3 rounds and then he just throws one punch and kills him. The other was the very first time I ever saw Wanderlei Silva fight, and by god was it amazing. An epic 21 seconds for sure.
6. Gegard vs Jacare, an upkick KO? Really?
7. Take a wild guess -_-
8. Mayhem vs Shibata, that fight is Mayhem at his most ... Mayhemlike.
9. Aoki vs Hirota, that was so brutal yet amazing. Runner-up would be Aoki vs Yushiro Nagashima, that was HILARIOUS.
10. I don't know if exhibition bouts count, but his against Aoki was such an amazing display of Judo and Sambo prowess. If exhibitions don't count, then Tim Sylvia getting his ass KO-ed (only cause I hate Tim Sylvia) and his kimura against Kevin Randleman. Only Fedor can get spiked and then flip him over and pull a kimura out of his ass.

i like the twist to this....
1.Dan hardy -has been my fav since i first seen him in ufc just something about him ,fav fight-when he fought and beat mike swick not only did i enjoy the trash talking leading up to that fight because that win hardy got reach a dream of his and compete for ufc ww championship but we all know how that turned out
2.Derek Dexter - on here cause hes my best friend for life ! hang otu with the guyevery day - fav fight, when he won his first amateur championship vs gauron at a victory card
3.Chris weidman- been fan since first seen him in ufc i feel hes the future p4p guy dominant wrestler with subs and ever improving stand up and trains with one my all itme favs- fav fight, when he just fought and beat munoz cause it showed me hes getting ready ! its his time soon
4.Micheal Bisping - iknow majority of mma fans hate this guy but ive loved him since i seen him on tuf with tito and ken his energy he has his attitude its all awesome ! fav fight, him and wanderlei cause wanderlei was one of the first guys i was fan of but oddly enough not so much anymore still respect the guy and yea a fan but not hardcore like i am to these top 10 like these top 10 i will never go gaint that how it used to be for silva but times have chnaged mainly when he fought bisping i realised i ****** like bisping way more then wand haha
5.MATT serra- the reason i like him is funny i was not anymore but a huge gsp hater even tho im from canada so because of that i wnated to see someone beat him and i liked serras style i always quote him "i'm a ninja turtle i like martial arts and love pizza" anyways i actually bet 5 diff people 10 bucks on this fight i said seraa was gonna ko gsp 1st round and to my surprise cause in back of my head i was like **** gsp is gonna win again LOl but he didnt :)
6.Junior Dos Santos- one of my favs just cause his personality and his hands are deadly i love watching him fight , fav fight when he beat frank mir getting revenge for his mentor big nog
7.Joe Lauzon - cause hes a game geek and last person you expect to be able to kick some ass ,when he beat melvin cause as manyof you i dislike melvin a close 2nd tho is when he beat pulver
8.Joe Benavidez - reason i like him well more now then ever is reading his life story in the faber book that guy been thru alot ! and love his style never give up attitide always in your face even tho hes usually the smaller guy,fav fight when he beat miguel torres cause torres had beef with team alpah male cause faber said years before they fought that joe b was top 135 and miguel was pissed and sayin **** but when they fought joe b was first man to submit him
9.urijah faber-been huge fan of since back in wec one the first reasons i member was cause his song lmao but then i grew to admire and respect him as he was and first person ive bought a book from and i love it most inspiring book ever read really the reason i been doin so much mma training following my passin and putting it into my everyday life like he says (for future he might be up more o n this list), fav fight, gee theres alot but i think id have to pick when he fought eddie wineland cause it was his time to shine his dreamcome true to finally be in ufc and he passed his first test in ufc great!
10. Paul Daley - why cause hes ****** awesome! not a thing i hate bout this man really the defintion of a badass striker even if he gets koed his fun is to stand there and punch people in the face or get punched,fav fight even tho he lost was with nick diaz and im sure you all know why that fight is striker slugfest heaven ,and fav moment of paul daley hands down without a doubt the suckerpunch on koscheck ! he deserved it sayin he was gonna stand and bang but layed and snored deff all time fav moment even beats when i seen ihm fight live at ringside 12 vs luigi fiorvanti
10 swtiches alot between daley,tito ortiz and shinya aoki tito mainly cause he was one first guys attracted me to the sport and aoki cause that man is magic on the ground and ilove jitsu hes my idol when it comes to jiu jitsu him or maia!
and as you can see im huge fan of british fighters,hardy,dexter,daley and bisping all in my top 10
