Greatest Heavyweight MMA Fights
-
1
- Emelianenko vs. Filipović
- Fedor Emelianenko | Decision
- 2005 | Pride Final Conflict 2005
-
The fight itself wasn't exactly amazing. The buildup alone makes it one of the most anticipated heavyweight fights in mixed martial arts history.
-
2
- Emelianenko vs. Nogueira I
- Fedor Emelianenko | Decision
- 2003 | Pride 25
-
The fight was epic because of the revolutionary ground-and-pound that Emelianenko exhibited and the heart that Nogueira displayed.
-
3
- Lesnar vs. Carwin
- Brock Lesnar | Submission | Round 2
- 2010 | UFC 116
-
The buildup was nearly akin to that of the Emelianenko-Filipovic fight, and it delivered with Carwin dropping Lesnar early but expending his energy for the rest of the round beating on Lesnar. The referee did not stop it, and Carwin was exhausted going into the second round. This factor allowed Lesnar to easily take Carwin down to secure a submission victory via arm-triangle choke.
-
4
- Lesnar vs. Velasquez
- Cain Velasquez | KO/TKO | Round 1
- 2010 | UFC 121
-
The fight was the same as the Carwin fight, with Velasquez hurting Lesnar badly early. Fortunately, Josh Rosenthal wasn't reffing this fight however. And Lesnar was finished.
-
5
- Emelianenko vs. Randleman
- Fedor Emelianenko | Submission | Round 1
- 2004 | Pride Critical Countdown 2004
-
Emelianenko survived a highlight-reel suplex slam from Randleman to secure a submission victory via kimura.
