Pretty interesting article. My memory isn't good enough to add anything or take anything out, but i agree with all of the choices. I would have had BJ VS Edgar much higher on the list. I also would have taken out 10. and replaced it with Quinton Jackson vs. Lyoto Machida (UFC 123).

:usure:

I'm far from a Penn fan and the fight happened so long ago that I'd have to go rewatch it, but I thought Penn won a decision, typical BJ, starts off fast and falls apart. When the scorecards were announced I was like :why: :mindblown::wtf:

49-46 Edgar? :dahell:

50-45 Edgar? :damn:

That Bisping v Hammil one was pretty bad. Especially once Bisping got on the mic and acted like he'd just scored a dominant victory


Penn v Edgar 1 I hate to see champs lose their belts on close decisions but BJ fought like he didn't take Frankie serious and lost because of it. .. the second time Frankie proved it wasn't by accident he's just an awful matchup for Penn because he moves around way too much for him to keep up.
