Pretty bad list. I like how they tack Gracie/Severn on at the end to give the old school fights a shout out.

you can tell MMA is going mainstream. Every two-bit media hack in the country is tryin to come up with "P4P", "whos the best" "whats the best" bullshit show or article and 9 times out of 10 its a joke.

Well exposure is exposure. Not everyone can be an expert. Those who have a clue just have to pay attention to the people who know what they're talking about. Everyone starts out as a noob.

Liddell-Couture 1 ws definitely a great fight. Anything could have happened at any time in that fight. Yes, Randy dominated - but it was still a great fight.

Couture/Sylvia was the definition of a blow out. I could see it's inclusion in terms of historical significance not unlike Joe Louis' one round blowout of Max Schmelling which is still considered a great fight today. I wouldn't count Couture/Sylvia as a great fight however.

Random comments on some of the other selections:

Hughes/Trigg 2 was definitely a great fight. Back and forth action with unexpected ebb and flow. It looked like Hughes was out when he came fighting back showing the heart of a champion.

Smith/Coleman was always one of my favorites.

The should have replaced Gracie/Severn with Gracie/Shamrock. That was the closest to a pure grappling match that the early UFC ever saw and it was at a breakneck pace.
