This was popular last year, so I decided to do it again.

Hard choice here, but I went with Leben. Considering he had what two weeks off? Came out on short notice, was completely gassed and put on a hell of a fight in which they were just throwing.

Want to give it to Henderson/Pettis for being a title fight that was legitimately close, and decided by possibly the best MMA highlight ever, but...

When it all comes down to it, if I was going to watch one fight again, or pick one fight to show some casual fans, it would be the awesome nonsense of Zombie vs. Garcia.

Note: I haven't actually seen Santiago/Misaki II, but I've heard it was good. I'm also somewhat surprised that Leben/Akiyama and Sotiropolous/Stevenson are in the top 5, though I can't name any better ones off the top of my head.

CPT, watch it sometime over the next few days and see if you change your mind, I think you will. Zombie vs Garcia was an entertaining (albeit mindless) slugfest, but Santiago vs. Misaki was MMA at it's finest.

Also Garcia vs Zombie gets minus points because of the BS decision from the judges.
