My vote has got to be Costa vs Romero at UFC 241. Spectacular fight

Lewis vs Nganouu ofc. Best light reading before i go to sleep
 
SHOGUN VS HENDO, second fight (ended in the 3rd, but maybe it was a 5-rounder?). Romero vs Costa is a romantic comedy by comparison.

Stann vs Wanderlei (as someone else mentioned) rules as well.
 
Sanchez vs Clay

Sanchez vs Melendez
 
There are so many, but one that stands out for me is when Chuck Liddell fought Wanderlei Silva. It was a year or 2 past their prime, but it was a great fight anyhow!
 
Brian Stan vs Wanderlei Silva. I don't remember if that was a scheduled 3 or 5 rounder, and i know it did not go the distance....but oh man what a slugfest
This has my vote as well. It still holds up as my favorite after all these years too!
 
I'm guessing this is for fights that went 3, so like Diaz-Daley wouldn't count? In that case:

Shabliy-Vartanyan
Shogun-Minotouro I
Emelianenko-Filipovic
Alvarez-Gaethje
Edgar-Griffin
Romero-Costa
Luque-Barberena
Diaz-Parisyan
Kattar-Burgos
Stephens-Bermudez
Sanchez-Parisyan
Lineker-Ozkilic
Strus-Dipchikov
Swanson-Choi
Swanson-Semerzier
Askarov-Leone
Reyes-DHM
Lawler-Riley
Poirier-Miller
Luque-Perry
Dillashaw-Assuncao I
DJ-McCall I
Torres-Maeda
Brown-Silva
Almeida-Pickett
Khasymkhanov-Peduson
Condit-Ellenberger
Ortega-Tavares
Condit-Hendricks
Sanchez-Alessio
Benavidez-Ortiz II
Kerefov-Avagyan
Emmett-Burgos
Cerrone-McCullough
Lawler-MacDonald I
Medeiros-Oliveira
Kampmann-Condit I
Yan-Rivera
Chito-Yadong
Ortega-Moicano

I'm guessing most here haven't seen Shabliy-Vartanyan, but you have to watch it:



2 of the best LWs of this era, and arguably the best 3 round fight ever. ACA has been amazing for years now..
