8. Forrest Griffin Vs. Stephan Bonnar

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny4PWToxDvU The aforementioned Ultimate Fighter series is doubtless a huge reason why the UFC is as successful as it is today but it was the finale fight of the first show which allowed the first series to finish with an echoing bang. The Griffin Vs. Bonnar fight which was the finale of the show's light heavyweight tournament is believed to have brought in so many casual fans that it saved the UFC when it had been going through financial turmoil and it is still a superb way of getting into the UFC to this day. The fight between the two men is one of the greatest wars in the sport of MMA, typifying the heart, resilience and unwavering determination which makes the sport loved by so many. Both fighters ate huge shots and still kept coming forward, motivated by that six-figure contract and the prospect of making a career for themselves in the sport. In the end UFC president Dana White was so moved by the performance of the two men that they were both offered contracts with the UFC, despite Forrest winning the fight by decision. Stephan Bonnar's realisation that he would still get the position in the UFC despite losing is one of the enduring moments of the sport; having his collapsed dreams instantly rebuilt.
