One of our “other” favorite MMA sites to read—besides our own (because we’re just that arrogant)—is Cage Potato. They always put an entertaining twist on the world of mixed martial arts that goes beyond just reporting the …*YAWN*… news. If you’ve been a fan of ours for a while, chances are you’re also a fan of these guys, because if there’s a site out there whose snark and wit we’d love to match, it’s them.
Anyway, I ran across a great article they wrote about the top 10 greatest LHW title fights in UFC history. With all the excitement of the recent Jon Jones vs. Alexander Gustafsson battle last weekend, it was cool to see how they thought it stacked up with other incredible wars of the past. I encourage you to read the entire article. Remember these are the top 10 greatest LHW fights of all time with the belt on the line.
10. Lyoto Machida vs. Shogun Rua, UFC 104
9. Rampage Jackson vs. Dan Henderson, UFC 75
8. Rampage Jackson vs. Forrest Griffin, UFC 86
7. Jon Jones vs. Vitor Belfort, UFC 152
6. Jon Jones vs. Lyoto Machida, UFC 140
5. Chuck Liddell vs. Tito Ortiz, UFC 66
4. Frank Shamrock vs. Tito Ortiz, UFC 22
3. Tito Ortiz vs. Ken Shamrock, UFC 40
2. Chuck Liddell vs. Randy Couture, UFC 43
1. Jon Jones vs. Alexander Gustafsson, UFC 165
So how do you feel about this list? Did they nail it?
