Top 50 MMA Fights in History

Kid Nate at Bloody Elbow and Beau Dure and Sergio Non at USA Today are putting together an outstanding piece about the significant fights of yesteryear and today. As they state:

"Some of the 50 fights we'll list aren't necessarily the best MMA bouts, but all of them are milestones for one reason or another, for better or for worse. The idea is to show how the sport has evolved. These are the fights that made the sport what it is today."

As someone who remembers getting the black box from the cable company and talking friends into coming over for the early UFC’s, this article is very enjoyable. The sport is so new that it doesn’t make sense for there to be a great deal of history, but it is also so fast that time is skewed when it comes to MMA. History is made at a breakneck pace and it is fun to remember or learn about some of the bouts that helped shape the sport.

Nice work guys and keep 'em coming!
