I miss those days when the Iceman Chuck Lidell was still knocking out opponents left and right, fighters like Tito Ortiz, Wanderlei Silva, Randy Couture, and Alistair Overeem just to name a few. These fighters that Chuck knocked out were some of the best at that time. then there was Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Cain Velasquez, Junior Dos Santos, and Frank Mir who were all very entertaining to watch every time they fight.
There are a lot of very good fighters in other weight classes also like Georges St Pierre, Matt Hughes, Anderson Silva, and a lot more but the heavyweights are my favorite to watch. I was also a big fan of Fedor Emelianenko even though he fought outside UFC. Fedor, The Last Emperor had a lot of memorable fights during his time. I was waiting for him along with countless others to join the UFC ranks but for some reason, never materialized. Can't blame Dana White though because he really tried to bring him to UFC.
Now to connect it with UFC 261, the excitement I felt before was felt again when I was watching the fights. I think the fight card was a winner. Especially the main event when Usman knocked out Masvidal. I was actually rooting for Usman but I thought it would go the distance with Masvidal still getting beaten. It was a surprise knockout that even Masvidal himself was amazed. It was the second time in his career to get floored.
Please comment below if you enjoy UFC fights and let me know who is you GOAT.

Watched this online. Big fan of both Usman and Masvidal. I just want to see an all-out brawl. Got what I wanted.
The only other fight that I wanted to see was Thug Rose. I was ecstatic with her knock-out win.
Too bad about what happened to Weidman. That was just brutal.

I really enjoyed the fight between Usman and Masvidal. Oh and yes. that fight with thug rose was really something. With regards to Weidman, the same incident also happened when he fought Anderson Silva, but he was the one who checked the kick of Silva and had the same injury as Weidman, how ironic.
