Best Fights of 2010...so far

There have been some very good fights in 2010 so far, but which are the best?

I made it so everyone can pick two different options. This way we get some votes for something other than the Garcia/Korean Zombie battle of epicness.

Leben/Akiyama is my personal favorite because of Leben fighting two weeks before, Akiyama disrespecting him, Leben being completely out on the feet and still punching, the shocking finish, and then all of the sad "Sexyama" fans. It was a pretty ugly fight, but all that made it great.

I loved watching Sotiropoulos' clinic on Joe Daddy. His coming out party so to speak.

It's really hard to pick but I'll go with these two.

The whole atmosphere from UFC 116 was amazing. Great fight after great fight (starting from the pre-lims) really built up to the Leben-Akiyama fight and set up beautifully for Brock/Carwin. I'll repeat that I think it was probably the most entertaining card ever, I was watching with about 15 guys who were into each fight, can't say that about any other card I've watched. Also, I'm trying to remember a main-event that delivered more than Brock/Carwin (recently).

I'm pretty shocked more people have not picked the Garcia/Korean Zombie fight. I made it a pick tweo because Im thought everyone would pick that one, but it has at no point been in the lead. Probably more of a timing issue with the Sexyama/Leben fight being fresh in people's minds.

Garcia/Zombie was for the brawling fans, George/JDaddy for grappling fans. I enjoyed both of these equally but for different reasons. A tie.
