With this many star-studded events to choose from, though, it's quite a tough task to decide which illustrious occasions deserve the honour of qualifying for WhatCulture's 10 Most Stacked Cards In UFC History.
Fight quality, name value, intensity of rivalries and early appearances from eventual legends have all been taken into account in the forming of this stacked list of unbelievable cards.
Perhaps your favourite show hasn't even made the cut, which is a testament to the UFC's burgeoning back catalogue of historic and memorable supercards.
Nevertheless, strap on your fingerless gloves, make sure your gum shield is in place and join me as we take a look back through some of the most insane cards the UFC have ever been able to pull off.
10. UFC 100 (2009)
This may be hard to hear for some MMA die hards. But, back when he was at the peak of his powers, Brock Lesnar was a must-see attraction in the UFC.
Coming into UFC 100 he was at the absolute top of his game and had just become the new UFC Heavyweight Champion.
So, fans obviously wanted to see whether Lesnar had it in him to defend the belt at the first time of asking, against Interim Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir. This would also be a rematch of Lesnar's first ever bout in the company.
Lesnar got his own back on Mir in frightening fashion in the second round, clobbering him into the side of the cage with a barrage of thunderous rights on the ground for the win.
Elsewhere on the card we were treated to the marvellous Georges St-Pierre defending his Welterweight title against Thiago Alves, earning the unanimous decision victory. Dan Henderson tried to take Michael Bisping's head clean off - winning via stunning KO in the process. Mark Coleman also got the win over Stephan Bonnar and a young Jon Jones won his third fight in a row as a UFC fighter. Oh, how they grow up.
Just looking back through that card, it's little wonder it held the record for the most bought UFC PPV of all time with 1.6 million buys, before UFC 202 knocked it off its perch in 2016.
