Top 5 UFC PPV's That I Go Back To Nowadays.
Intro.
Writing this list stumped me, because As I sit here on a Monday morning, I had to dig beneath the surface of my brain, and think what are my favourite ever UFC PPV's. These events are the ones that I still watch to this day on DVD. From great fights to stand out moments, these PPV's live rent free in my brain.
5. UFC 79 Nemesis.
This card is awesome. From the burning heat that was Rich Clementi vs Mevin. Rameau Sokoudjou, and Lyoto Machida reminding fans that Pride was still alive in it's own spirit. This show was also the coming out party for GSP after he beat Matt Hughes for the UFC Interim Welterweight Championship, and then there's Chuck Liddell vs Vanderlai Silva, a fight that stands up today as one of the best MMA 3 round fights ever in my opinion. This was a steller card, that came complete with loads of promise, and it delivered.
4. UFC 132.
From Tito Ortiz shocking the world, and submitting Ryan Baber. Chris Leben knocking out Wanderlai Silva, and then there's the 5 round war that Urijah Faber and Dominck Cruz had for the UFC Bantamweight Championship. This fight was an excellent go around, that showcased the bitter distain that these two had for one another. The build was promoted perfectly, as it brought the novice fan into their history from Their days in the WEC. This is one hell of a PPV.
3. UFC 91.
Any PPV that features Kenny Florian, and Joe Daddy Stevenson, and. Gabriel Gonzaga vs Josh Hendricks go to war in seperate fights is always a good time to me. Even though watching Brock Lesnar in our year of 2025 isn't a good sight, in 2008 we were living in the Brock era, and this proved to be a very profitable time for the UFC.
2. UFC 150.
From Justin Lawrence facing an up and coming fighter named Max Holloway. Donald Cowboy Cerone facing one of his former team mates Melvin Guillard, in what was a steller performance from the Cowboy, and the second fight of the year for Frankie Edgar, and. Benson Smooth Henderson for the UFC Lightweight Championship Crown out did their UFC 142 war. Frankie in his post fight interview with Joe Rogan just said everything that you need to know about the man. He's a true warrior, and the fact that he left his heart in the cage is something that speaks to me in my day to day life. You've got to keep going, no matter what punches get thrown at you.
1. UFC 92 The Ultimate.
As the way that UFC New Year shows go, this is up there for my money, as one of the best that they've ever committed to producing. Quinton Rampage Jackson giving Wanderlai Silva a Nasty KO. Frank Mir's comeback tour continuing after he beat Minatauro Nogueira, and then there's Sugar Rashad Evans beating Forrest Griffin to become the new UFC Light Heavyweight Championship. This was an elevated card, that delivered from a fight, and fan perspective.
