Do you agree that Hendo-Rua was the best fight in UFC history?

I'd definitely agree that it was one of the best fights ever but is it THE best? I'm racking my brains to think of other fights that were as good or better than this one. Ben Henderson-Donald Cerrone I comes to mind but that was in the WEC. Ironically, another amazing fight happened tonight when Michael Chandler beat Eddie Alvarez for the Bellator LW belt. Just an all out back and forth war for 4 rounds. Can you think of any fights that were as good or better than Hendo-Rua in MMA (not just UFC) history? Best answer gets 10 points.

    The best fight ever should end with a knockout or a submission....with that being said it's the best fight I've watched. 5th round was a tad disappointing.. Pee-wee Herman vs Einemo UFC131 is my 2nd favorite fight of all time.

    No I would not agree with that statement but you know they do like to hype a lot of stuff and it did contain allot of drama the way it played out with Henderson winning the first three rounds but running out of gas and Hua coming on and winning the last two like he did. I do think that the scoring of it also really indicates that it was a very close fight in some ways that many fans don't realize.

    All three judges had it 47-46 for Henderson which means they had to give Henderson a 10-8 round in that second round and that round while won by Henderson was really very close to being a 10-9 round. If they had scored that round a 10-9 round it would have been a draw since Hua won the last round 10-8. It lived up to its pre-fight hype from the drama standpoint but I would not say it was the best fight ever.
