I'll go with Rosier and Frazier's bar fight which ended by repeated stomps to the face.

Good choice. I'll never forget how after the fight when they asked Rosier what he thought about the fight he replied "Why'd id come out of retirement."

I have a soft spot for Teila Tuli's teeth flying out of the Octagon and everybody suddenly going very, very silent. Also it was the actual very first UFC fight ever.

Gordeau vs. Tuli, because as I was watching, I was asking myself, "can this actually be real?", and that fight answered my question right away.

Gracie vs Shamrock. Because everyone thought Ken was going to destroy him and it also started the first MMA rivalry.

gordeau vs tuli when the big guy charged at him i was thinking what he is going to do try and get him down and lay on him and then  gordeau backed up and the tuli fell he looked over at him and wham! right to the face instantly made his eye swell and some of his teeth were gone my jaw dropped and it was even funnier how the ref didnt know exactly what to do either to stop it or let it go his reaction was one in a million lol.
