9. Chuck Liddell vs. Vitor Belfort
In 2002, both Vitor Belfort and Chuck Liddell were regarded as two of the best light heavyweight fighters in their class.
Belfort, then 24, already made waves inside the UFC as the proverbial "Phenom," starching competition with his incredible boxing prowess, while Liddell made a career of impressively knocking out tough opposition, thanks to his kickboxing background.
The two heavy hitters went to war, engaging in a three-round battle that served as the main event for the awkward titled "UFC 37.5," which served as a last-ditch effort for the organization to be aired live on Fox Sports Net's
The Best Damn Sports Show Period.
The action was even throughout, the Liddell seemed to gain the upper hand when he managed to drop the Brazilian later in the bout with one of his infamous winging right hooks. Liddell was declared the winner by decision and both men would later claim the 205-pound title.
