1. 1

   

   UFC 261

   Usman vs. Masvidal 2

   Saturday, April 24, 2021

   Jacksonville, Florida, United States

   The greatest "**** you" possible to COVID. I'm glad the UFC was so diligent during the pandemic continuing to deliver content, but when they got back to a full-on event, they made it count.
   

2. 2

   

   UFC 100

   Saturday, July 11, 2009

   Las Vegas, Nevada, United States

   They swung for the fences and it worked. On a personal level, I had the first date of what was probably my most fun LTR that night. Hadn't planned to take her to the show; it just worked out that way.
   

3. 3

   

   UFC 300

   Pereira vs. Hill

   Saturday, April 13, 2024

   Las Vegas, Nevada, United States

4. 4

   

   UFC 290

   Volkanovski vs. Rodriguez

   Saturday, July 08, 2023

5. 5

   

   UFC 217

   Bisping vs. St. Pierre

   Saturday, November 04, 2017

   New York City, New York, United States

   Stellar down the line.
   

6. 6

   

   UFC 236

   Holloway vs. Poirier 2

   Saturday, April 13, 2019

   Atlanta, Georgia, United States

   Surprised this isn't higher. Two of the top three fights of the year? That's quite the event.
   

7. 7

   

   Pride 33

   The Second Coming

   Saturday, February 24, 2007

   Las Vegas, Nevada, United States

   The best show of that legendary organization.
   

8. 8

   

   The Ultimate Fighter 1 Finale

   Saturday, April 09, 2005

   Las Vegas, Nevada, United States

   I think I'm the only guy who remembers Rich Franklin beating Ken Shamrock over the Griffin/Bonnar fight. The world's most dangerous math teacher took out one of the promotion's founding fathers. He would never win in the UFC again.
   

9. 9

   

   UFC 1

   The Beginning

   Friday, November 12, 1993

   Denver, Colorado, United States

   If you weren't on board at the beginning, it's impossible to describe what this was like.
   

10. 10

    

    UFC 4

    Revenge of the Warriors

    Friday, December 16, 1994

    Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States

    Dan Severn proves how effective wrestling can be in MMA. Gracie eventually submitted him - the Beast had probably never seen a triangle choke before - but the writing was on the wall.
