I always love finding good highlight vids. Anyone have any to share.

GOAT IMO:

The shot of Helio Gracie's face after Rickson throws in the towel during the Sakuraba/Royce fight is amazing, one of the more powerful moments in MMA history. There is a video I have that captures the moment beautifully, along with Sakuraba's embrace to Helio afterwards. I'll try to dig it up along with some others tomorrow or something.

It's such a fanboy thing to say but Pride was so damn epic, so many great moments. There's a reason everyone wishes it were still around. I didn't start following MMA closely until Pride was nearing it's demise but I've seen all the notable fights during it's existence.

For anyone who's in a nostalgic mood or for anyone who wants a crash course in Pride's history check out Pride: Decade (scroll to the bottom)

Fantastic documentary, must watch for any MMA fan.

One of my favourite early memories of the UFC...

Crazy good, ReddZone. Wow.

Even better than the Baba O'Reilly intro that the UFC themselves uses during live events.

My two fave HLs are an ancient Igov Vov HL and a recent one of Melvin Manhoef. I'll grab those after work. I don't have links.

this was my favorite HL video until that video REDDzone posted-

I have a few more that I'll have to find, but here's another one that I enjoy:

Here's another one:

Its kind of long, and it isn't mma as a whole, but still good. It documents the "resurgence" of Alistair Overeem, Vitor Belfort, and Jorge Santiago as fighters were who were very good, then fell a little bit, but have recently been on fire again. Good music, a lot of rare video. Me gusta.

Machineman has an amazing Fedor HL vid. And Genghis Con's videos are legendary.

Cannot believe I let this one slip my mind. Especially after the Pride:Decade mention.

Probably my 2nd favorite:

This is the video that got me interested in MMA.

Dug this thread up to share this video I saw on twitter with you guys. Didn't think it was worth its own thread, but still really cool imo. Its basically highlights of recent top contender or championship fights with commentary from other top contenders:

JDS seems like such a cool guy. Chuck watching any fight is always funny.

that was awesome thanks for posting

This is a GOOD MMA VID where various stars of the sport HIGHLIGHT the current problems with recent judging.
