Hunt/Silva. 2 massive men just throwing down. I thought Hunt was done in round 2 from leg kicks, but was I wrong.

Jones/Gustaffson. Hunt/Bigfoot was entertaining but it's not "good." I don't get the love for Melendez/Sanchez. Melendez beat the breaks off of him for 14 minutes. It wasn't entertaining (as a fight) or competitive.

Great year of MMA fights. My top three if anyone is interested.

 

1. Jon Jones vs. Alexander Gustafsson, UFC 165: Jones vs. Gustafsson

2. Antonio Silva vs. Mark Hunt, UFC Fight Night 33: Hunt vs. Bigfoot

3. Wanderlei Silva vs. Brian Stann, UFC on Fuel TV 8: Silva vs. Stann

Define "good."

 

I just want to see top level guys doing top level things. It's hard to articulate on here. I was completely entertained by Hunt/Bigfoot, but watching them gassed out of their minds for 20 minutes sours it for me. There are too many fights now for that to be the best fight of the year. Jones/Gus was some high level shit. Same with Chandler/Alvarez. Cardio is a factor for me. It's part of the package.

I had to go with Hunt/Pezao simply because it had so many false finishes compared to the others. Whether it's high level MMA is debatable, but I know it was damn sure entertaining. So many heavyweight fights lack that Foreman/Lyle element. I am not saying that you can't enjoy KOTC level scraps, but you need a reason to have a division in the first place (meaning guys who aren't the champ and #1 contender). That is what separates the UFC HW division from Ron Sparks and Mighty Mo Best-of-Nine series.
