That Lawler finish was something ... I thought Lindland was dying

Not "forgotten".. for some reason I remember Lawler grabing Lindland's splayed feet as he's KO'd and gently placing them together before walking away; I don't think the HL shows it. Just a weird little detail.

I remember that "Mexican Hook" that Paul Daley slept Smith with was applauded by Boxing fans at the time.

Was it this fight where he was shacking lying unconscious ?
It was in the Belfort fight I think. It was fucked up.

The Vitor ko was even worse. Dude has had some bad KOS

 

[SaigeVanZant]

This absolute war

Brown should've been arrested for assault of a child. Wait till that boy becomes a man

Strikeforce had some great fights in its short tenure.

The best "little" Trilogy in MMA was Roger Bowling vs Bobby Voelker... 3 fights within 13 months in Strikeforce Challengers series.

"Forgotten Trilogy"

Vitor's KO of... Lindland? Or which KO? I actually dont remember.

 

[Pliny Pete]

Scott Smith vs Pete Sell, greatest finish, greatest KO, greatest comeback in UFC history

 

[CoffeeAndBeer]

Speaking of Vitor...
Who remembers when Tito "climbed to the mountain top" (went to the top of the arena, to the nose-bleed seats) after the Vitor fight... but before the decision was read (it was a Split Decision)...?

Aftermath: Tito had Chuck and Ken climb into the cage looking for the next big fight.

@StonedLemur i don’t know if this qualifies as legendary, but you and I were just talking about

Fuckin Diaz could really fight sir.
Yeah that's legendary to me and you so fuck what anyone else thinks lol.

The "Forgotten" SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT FIGHTER in MMA/UFC history: Tito Oritz

No Zuffa without Tito to build upon

No Dana White without Tito (Tito hired Dana as his manager)

The first and biggest Star in MMA/UFC during the MOST CRITICAL TIMES of the sport

 

[KarateYeah]

Dana vs Streamers

 

[Kb7]

Varner vs Lauzon

 

[Psychojoe86]

Clay Guida vs Tyson Griffin.

that and other lightweight fights got me to favor the lightweight division in the ufc ever since

 

[mirko>anyone]

That’s a fucking classic. This one is maybe not as forgotten but just as classic

Yep. For my money, I’ll go as far as saying this is the best fight in UFC history.

 

[mirko>anyone]

Not sure it’s forgotten, but Guida vs Huerta is also one of the best fights ever. I think even better than Guida vs Sanchez, which sort of took its place.

 

[OverhandRightKayo]

Conor Mcgregor vs. Khabib
