My would easily have to be Tito Ortiz vs. Ken Shamrock. It's easily the rivalry that got me hooked on MMA. As you could see the amount of anger that was being thrown around during the feud. Not just for pumping up. But legitimate anger. I mean the guys had on air feuds and everything. If you've never seen any of there three matches i suggest you check them out.

So whats you all time favorite rivalry.

Everyone is bound to say Ortiz vs. Shamrock because that was the most mainstream. One of mine would be Couture vs. Liddell. That was pretty good, other than that GSP and Hughes have had quite the rivalry going on and off. It's hard to have a noticable rivalry in MMA, but it does in fact happen.

I gotta agree and have to say pretty much Liddell vs. anyone who was lucky enough to get a win over him in a rivalry is pretty good. Cause Liddell is a beast and when he goes at you after suffering a loss to you it's like a whole new side of him.

Ortiz vs Shamrock & Ortiz vs Liddell are the ones that pretty much stick out in my mind.

Does Wandy beating the hell out of Rampage twice count as a rivalry?
If so I go with that.
If not, Chuck/Couture was a fun series and like said before Ortiz/Shamrock is legendary.

You know, I really liked the build up for the Frank Shamrock/Phil Baroni fight last year. Shamrock had been away for so long and the first EXC main event was a huge letdown. I remember Frank and Tito in 99.

I also have to say that Hughes and Trigg was a big rivalry. Even Dana White said his all time favorite fight was Hughes/Trigg II
