Forrest Griffin vs. Stephan Bonnar
BleachersReport
It's always nice to pay homage to these two men.
Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar both met in 2005, hoping to become the inaugural 205-pound The Ultimate Fighter champion. What they did instead was help mold the mixed martial arts world into what it is today.
In a slugfest for three full rounds, both Bonnar and Griffin abandoned all technique in favor of a good old-fashioned barn burner.
In the end, Griffin was declared the winner by decision, though both men earned the respect of the MMA community while simultaneously becoming fixtures within the organization, where they both still compete today.
