Here's a few.

CroCop vs Nogueira - Note this was in PRIDE over in Japan which used different rules than the UFC does (like kicking in the head when the other guy is down)

Fedor vs CroCop from PRIDE this one goes LOOOOOOONG. Although it does show one of the things I prefer about the cage of the UFC vs the ropes of Pride and Affliction where the fight is stopped and has to be resumed when CroCop goes under the ropes in the third clip while on the ground.

I suppose the rules are the rules, but it seems a bit weak for a fight to end in 20 seconds when neither guy has been hurt.

I think the ref would admit he made a mistake. But he has to make a split second call, and someone's life could be at stake if he allows a guy who really is out to be hit again and again when he is down...

Now here's a one punch KO that really is a KO.
Fedor vs Arlovski

Watching Kimbo stuff is really watching the worst of MMA. Kimbo only ever had a chance against purely striking guys. If they had put him against anyone with a decent ground game or a striker with real talent then EliteXC would lose their big draw, the internet sensation Kimbo, and they knew it.
