| 5. Cro Cop vs W.Silva: This is the fight that made me fall in love with mma. Most of my buddies used to watch the UFC, but it never grabbed me. The fights were really weak back in the days imo and not too many fighters stood out for me back then. But then one of my friends got me to watch Pride Final Conflict and I just loved it. The all PPV was great, but the fight between Cro Cop and Silva just graabbed me. That day Cro Cop became my favourite fighter, Pride my favourite company and MMA my favourite sport.
4. Rampage vs Forrest: I've always liked Forrest, but Rampage is the one I was cheering for here. Too me he just looked unbeatable back then and he's also funny and likeable. But by the end of the fight I found myself cheering for Forrest. His heart, determination and just will to win won me over and I'm so glad he won that fight.
3. Couture vs T.Sylvia: I liked this match 'cause it was the return of Captain America. Nobody gave him a chance in this fight, but he proved to the world that no one should ever bet against him. I remember being at the club and everytime Couture punched or took Big Tim down, the place went absolutely crazy.
2: Forrest vs Bonnar: The fight that made the UFC I guess. Both of these guys gave their all and Dana White giving both of them a contract, made the fight even sweeter.
1: Fedor vs Cro Cop: The best 2 Heavyweight fighters in the world at the time going at it and just beating the hell out of each other. |
Good List
The Cro Cop vs Wandy match was awesome ... I love both fighters but Cro Cop put on a beating on him that day and put a end to Silva's dominance in Pride with a beautiful LHK, I serious thought Wandy was dead!!
Not too sure about Cro Cop vs Fedor though ... I mean at the time it was the fight everyone wanted to see, 2 of the best HW's in the world finally fighting each other. I didn't feel it quite lived up to expectations ... I felt like Cro Cop was reluctant to stand toe to toe with Fedor and at times looked scared of him. If Cro Cop fought like he had previous to that fight I feel he would have ended the reign of Fedor.
