With 2008 right around the corner, now is a good time to reflect on the best fights of 2007. The fights listed are based on my expert opinion as a mma fan. You may disagree, but that is irrelevant.
#5 - Mirko Cro Cop Vs. Gabriel Gonzaga
It was an exciting fight with Gabriel dominating from start to finish. I am a huge Cro Cop fan, but he has not looked like himself since leaving Pride and joining the UFC. Mirko followed up this loss with a loss to Cheick Kongo.
#4 - Sam Stout Vs. Spencer Fisher
This was the second time these two fighters met with Stout winning the first bout in an exciting match and Spencer winning the second match. Both matches were exciting and I am sure a rubber match would be just as exciting.
#3 -Takanori Gomi Vs. Nick Diaz
I am not a big fan of Nick Diaz, but he pulled the upset. Gomi is known for throwing bombs....but he is also known for having a bad ground game and gas tank which was his downfall in this fight.
#2 - Tim Sylvia Vs. Randy Couture
Whether Tim is a good fighter or not is a dumb question. He is a good fighter, but most people myself included still don't like him. I can't even put my finger on it, but I just don't like him. I thought this fight would be a jab fest with Tim keeping Randy at bay and getting the decision win. Randy made Tim look bad though. Glad I didn't bet on this one.
#1 - Chuck Liddell Vs. Quinton Jackson
Not much different from the first time these two fighters met. In the first fight Rampage dominated chuck. Most "new" fans thought Chuck was unstoppable, but I was just waiting for another striker to face chuck. On a side note, I did not see the Jardine winning that last fight against chuck, that was a surprise....a good surprise.
Also good fights in 07:
Rampage vs Hendo
Griffin vs Shogun
Huerta vs Guida
Shamrock vs Baroni
Edgar vs Griffin
