Feel free to suggest fights.
I'm going to say Lyoto Machida.
Badass submission and walk away finish.

It was spectacular. It was actually not even 3 years since his MMA debut.I mean the Shogun beatdown is one of the most impressive victories in the history of the sport, let alone by a 23-year-old who'd just fought RYAN BADER a month before.
From every angle the Shogun fight stands above the rest, from the frightening display of skill, the utter savagery of the beating, becoming the youngest champion, destroying a famous legend who wasn't even 30 years old, and doing it all without having even 2 months to train and prepare.
I don't believe Jones had even been doing MMA for 4 calendar years when he won the title, we have never seen anything like that before or since.
How is it impressive when Jones was juiced to the gills. WtfI think his most impressive victory [no contest], was his KO of a prime Daniel Cormier in they're 2nd fight. I know it was ruled a no contest, but nobody had stopped DC before, at that time, and Jones destroyed him. It was impressive! Also, him choking out Machida, and dropping him like a sack of potatoes, was pretty cool. Then there was stopping the legendary Shogun with strikes. Shogun tapped to strikes! When is the last time someone of his stature did that? Those are 3 MMA legends, that Jones destroyed. No excuses, he beat 3 great fighters convincingly....impressive.
Don't forget, Shogun tapped alsoWell the Rua beatdown produced the most Pride FC tears so I choose that one.
