-
1
- UFC 261
- Usman vs. Masvidal 2
- Saturday, April 24, 2021
- Jacksonville, Florida, United States
-
The greatest "**** you" possible to COVID. I'm glad the UFC was so diligent during the pandemic continuing to deliver content, but when they got back to a full-on event, they made it count.
-
2
- UFC 100
- Saturday, July 11, 2009
- Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
-
They swung for the fences and it worked. On a personal level, I had the first date of what was probably my most fun LTR that night. Hadn't planned to take her to the show; it just worked out that way.

Stellar down the line.

- UFC 236
- Holloway vs. Poirier 2
- Saturday, April 13, 2019

Surprised this isn't higher. Two of the top three fights of the year? That's quite the event.
-
7
- Pride 33
- The Second Coming
- Saturday, February 24, 2007
- Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
-
The best show of that legendary organization.
-
8
- The Ultimate Fighter 1 Finale
- Saturday, April 09, 2005
- Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
-
I think I'm the only guy who remembers Rich Franklin beating Ken Shamrock over the Griffin/Bonnar fight. The world's most dangerous math teacher took out one of the promotion's founding fathers. He would never win in the UFC again.
-
9
- UFC 1
- The Beginning
- Friday, November 12, 1993
- Denver, Colorado, United States
-
If you weren't on board at the beginning, it's impossible to describe what this was like.
-
10
- UFC 4
- Revenge of the Warriors
- Friday, December 16, 1994
- Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States
-
Dan Severn proves how effective wrestling can be in MMA. Gracie eventually submitted him - the Beast had probably never seen a triangle choke before - but the writing was on the wall.
