There have been several great MMA moments but what is the greatest MMA moment that stems from your MMA history?
I can't name just one...so I'll list my top ten in no particular order
1. Randy beating up Sylvia for 5 rounds and particularly almost getting the stoppage in the 1st
2. Roger Huerta vs Leonard Garcia. Kind a mid-level fight but an absolute barn burner that I'll never forget
3. Fedor's finishing of Randleman after almost getting his neck broke. The armbar in the 1st Coleman fight and beating Fujita after almost getting his head knocked off are a close second and third.
4. Gonzaga blasting Cro Cop
5. Rampage knocking out Arona with the sickest slam ever
6. Anderson saving his title with the last round triangle on Chael
7. Royce in UFC 1-3
8. Diaz vs Gomi was an epic fight
9. Wanderlei vs Chuck...all be it several years too late
10. Vitor blitzing Wanderlei before we even knew it meant something.
Chuck vs Wanderlei-Great fight (Chuck is my all time favorite fighter so it meant a lot seeing him beat such a dominant fighter even if it was over due)
Chuck vs Jardine-Great fight
Hardy vs GSP-Dan refusing to give up and tapout was just awesome.
Velasquez vs Lesner-Total domination and I'm a big Cain fan so i was very pleased he got that title.
Gracie vs Hughes-Showed how much mma has evolved and Matt Hughes showed great respect in not tapping the legend.
Henderson vs Wanderlei 2- Just an awesome KO from a great fighter.
Sonnen vs Silva-I new Sonnen could win that fight and it looked like he was going to just got caught in the last seconds. Been waiting on a damn rematch for a while now.
If greatest means shocking then: Fabricio Werdum choking Fedor :o.
Practically every submission in a much hyped main event feels great to me - for example Lesnar coming back to submit Shane Carwin was huge.
Oh man, I had almost a dozen people over for that fight. When Fedor tapped everyone jumped up off the couches and didn't make a sound! It was so surreal, no one even breathed for a good minute. That was the craziest thing I ever saw in MMA.Quote:

Man, wandy was vicious early in his career ...i hope the ufc allows soccer kicks and knees on the ground.
In terms of jaw dropping stuff this for me was great. Hughes getting his ass handed to him then just picking trigg up...walking across the octagon then slamming Frank Trigg into the deck...great fight

Stephan Bonner vs. Forrest Griffin was the greatest mma fight i have ever seen... It definitely brought back the ufc's popularity.
have to agree as far as the most crucial and pivotal moment for mma had to be forrest and stephen. That fight really opened up the worlds eyes to how tough and dramatic mma really is. That fight took the ufc from a rising star to the north star overnight. The drama that played out and dana giving both guys a contract really was better then any drama movie out there because it was real and their was no way anyone could question those 2 men fighting with all they had
