Trigg vs Hughes II, Hendo vs Bisping II

Good call.

I was screaming like a mad man for Vitor to break his arm.

In fact, I literally said the phrase, "Pull a Mir/Sylvia!"

If only that heel connected, clean...

When vitor almost took juice jones arm off

FYI, Vitor is a "Pissed Hot More Than Once" guy himself

Came into the thread just to see how long it took before someone posted this.

This is the winner. Undisputed. Imagine that, all he had to do is just stand there and he would have collapsed and not been able to continue. But he went in for the kill..

Shael was less than 30 seconds away from winning the LHW belt. He really does have shit for luck.

I can not imagine living with this. He was 2 minutes away from becoming a champion and being the guy to dethrone a long reigning GOAT, but had a brain fart after 23 perfect minutes.


Then he almost becomes the first man to dethrone ANOTHER long reigning, UNDEFEATED goat candidate. Literally all he needed to do was notice Jones toe and point it out to the red, and be crowned champion.

So so so fucking close two separate times....he promised his dying father he would become champion. Soul crushing

Aldo vs. Hominick

I wonder if he was overplaying his injury to counter punch an unexpecting, rush-in?

Liddell on Franklin

The ref could have stopped it in Barry’s favor and nobody would have complained.

it was insane that the ref didn't stop it.

consider the significance of the fight it's right up there with the biggest "almost moments" in the history of the sport if not the biggest.

Totally forgot about this one.

nah man, he collapsed in agony immediate after the fight was stopped. he wasnt faking at all, just managed to tough it out like a fucking champ for one heroic punch

Liz Carmouch ALLLLLMOST had Ronda with the RNC.

Vitor armbar against Jones.

He had the armbar too. Imagine how strong jones had to be to power out of full roid vitors armbar

 

[Danespina]

Fabio Maldonado almost beat Fedor.
