My two favorites are Houston Alexander vs Keith Jardine and Gabriel Gonzaga vs Mirko Crocop. Both outcomes were shocking.

You’re just jealous because he’s a jacked white boy.

edit for clarity: Was a Brock quote before he got busted for the roids we all knew he was on. I wasn’t being a dick.

they fought twice
first time faber threw some sort of spinning shit, at the time he would do 1 new wild move per fight, but he got socked in the back of the head that time and it was over
rematch is where he went 5 rounds with 2 broken hands

also, i loved mo smith beating coleman

Was Overeem the underdog against Brock? Brock was coming off the trashing by Cain and diverticulitis. Overeem was peak Ubereem following his Dream/Strikeforce/K-1 GP run.

Was it faber that was defending a single leg and just kneed the guy in the face with his free leg? Or was either faber or brown.

In the rematch.

This is the only correct answer.

The whole build up. Tuf. Then Serra winning then getting the title shot. Then winning the fight. It was the definition of a Cinderella story.

I thought it was a bartender.

I went looking for that video and couldn’t find it. I found the guy on Facebook and asked him if he had it. He said no and that benji got the right bought the rights to it and sent takedown demands to any site it was on and had it scrubbed from the internet.

Rip benji.

Holly Holmes KOing Rousey!

I’ve followed MMA since pre-UFC days and at the time I watched every UFC event and every episode of TUF. With all that said, for some reason I bought all the Honda hype. Not that she could beat up male fighters or anything but I really liked her. I hated all the fighters who were so mean to her, like Miesha. At some point after the Bethe fight, I realized what a toxic asshole she is. I saw how awful she treats people. Rewatching the TUF episodes with Miesha, I was shocked I didn’t see it sooner. Without the rose colored glasses, and probably along with the growing chorus of dissenters on the Old-G; I realized her striking is hot garbage and it’s high time it was exploited. I knew Holly was going to expose her and I couldn’t wait. Watching the PPV at home by myself, I jumped up and completely lost my shit when it happened. One of my favorite MMA moments of all time.

Usman is a better person from it. Still don’t like him though.
