[Death Dealer]

They replayed Shogun/Hendo on Fuel the other day. So. Fucking. Good.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Lesnar tapped in like a minute and a half... :

If you haven't seen Barry vs. Kongo - really, watch it. You will not believe the ending.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

If you haven't seen Barry vs. Kongo - really, watch it. You will not believe the ending.

If you can link, I'll try. Although I do hope it's longer than that! :

 

[Postman Dave]

Shogun/Hendo is must see, and I'm not a big MMA follower.

 

[Hoss]

If you can link, I'll try. Although I do hope it's longer than that! :

Does that link in my OP work or not?

Rampage vs Chuck from Pride
Rampage vs Wanderlei from Pride
Machida vs Evans just to see Rashad to the stanky leg
Bonnar vs Griffin is a fight everyone has to see
Hendo vs Shogun
Rousey vs Tate
Silva vs Franklin from UFC 64
Penn vs Sherk from UFC 84
Couture vs Sylvia from UFC 68 (not the most exciting fight but what a gameplan from Randy)
Aldo vs hominick

sorry if I went overboard.

 

[Eddie North]

I think the Lesnar Mir fight posted was Lesnar Vs Mir 1 wasn't it? Lesnar Vs Mir 2 Lesnar won because of the way he lost in the first fight.

 

[Hoss]

Everyone should probably watch just about every Wanderlei Silva fight from PRIDE. He stomps a couple dude's face's in.

As the newly appointed MMA mod, I believe it's my responsibility to keep this thread alive. Anybody who watched UFC in 2012 know that there was some pretty gnarly fights so I'd like to mention a few in this thread.

Pat Barry Vs Christian Morecraft - http://www.fightvideomma.com/2012/01/pat-barry-vs-christian-morecraft-fight.html (No. 2)
Diego Sanchez Vs Jake Ellenberger - http://fightnext.com/video/GYW2YADW...lenberger--UFC-on-Fuel-Sanchez-vs-Ellenberger
The Korean Zombie Chang Jung Sung Vs Dustin Porier - http://www.fightvideomma.com/2012/05/dustin-poirier-vs-chan-sung-jung-fight.html
Wanderlei Silva Vs Rich Franklin II - http://www.fightvideomma.com/2012/06/wanderlei-silva-vs-rich-franklin-2.html
Joe Lauzon Vs Jamie Varner - http://www.fightvideomma.com/2012/08/joe-lauzon-vs-jamie-varner-fight-video.html (No. 2)
Georges St-Pierre Vs Carlos Condit - http://www.fightvideomma.com/2012/11/georges-st-pierre-vs-carlos-condit.html
Jim Miller Vs Joe Lauzon - http://www.fightvideomma.com/2012/12/joe-lauzon-vs-jim-miller-fight-video.html

Those are my top picks of 2012, especially the GSP-Condit fight. [MENTION=1]Fuje Vise[/MENTION], if you're looking for 25 minutes of non action you should definitely check that out.

P.S. [MENTION=140]King James[/MENTION] I'd keep the Silva-Griffin fight off that list. You show anybody who's not an MMA fight that they're gonna think it's corrupt :

 

[Cyrus Riddle]

I've actually seen the majority of those fights, and I absolutely agree that they are must see. The GSP-Condit fight would be better if GSP had lost, but oh well lol. I'm a big Wanderlei fan though, so any of his fights (win or lose) I enjoy.

 

[Postman Dave]

Hey [MENTION=626]Red Alex[/MENTION]

would you recommend this set as a way into MMA?

[The Great Cochrane]

I actually watched that on netflix the other day. And yes, I definitely recommend that seeing as 2012 was a huge year for the UFC. All the fights I mentioned above are on there, and they also put out the main highlights instead of showing the whole fights.

There are also some dirty knockouts on that video as well. The ending of the Edson Barboza/Terry Etim fight at UFC 142 is the perfect way to top off an excellent fight (now that I mention it, I should have put that fight out there).

Plus with this DVD set, you'll know what happened so you'll have a good idea of what to keep your eyes open for if you decide to start watching it regularly. So overall a very good buy, my friend.
