It seems alot of the fights are no longer on dailymotion.

Saku old school ufc fight
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3l...i-sakura_sport

Saku vs CroCop
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x19...le-video_sport

Saku vs Gracie's HL
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x84...de-graci_sport

Holy shit I found it!
Saku vs Royce, the whole thing, 2hr+ fight. Background: Saku beats a couple of Gracie's, Royce says I'll kick your ass but under my rules and conditions. Saku agrees, ass whooping ensues.

I have to add this fight,
Henderson vs Big Nog, Amazing technical fight by both guys. Henderson deserves alot of credit for this one.

You must watch Royce Gracie vesus Art Jimmerson. It was Royce Gracies first UFC fight. It's absolutely hilarious on so many levels. It's also the fight where the guy wears one boxing glove. Edit: I found the fight, plus it has Royce Gracie commentary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI2N2hivnAs Oh and while I'm at it you MUST watch R. Gracie vs Akebono. It just shows how much power is in BJJ when properly executed. Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POJ2T023M4I

Definitely the older Pride fights.

if I had to name a few:

Fedor vs Nogueira part 1 (where Fedor got recognized as a certified bad man)

Shogun vs Lil Nog

Wanderlei Silva and his Destruction of Japanese cans

Alexander Emilianenko vs James Thompson for hilarity.


There are tons to watch but again, i'd suggest you watch the old Pride tournaments.

You mean, like this?


Also watch the PrideDecade documentary, its awesome and highlights the greatest Pride FC moments. I've included part 1 below, just go to the user "PrideDecade"'s channel to catch the rest.

As brutal as soccer-kicking someone or stomping their face out ala Wand on Yuki Kondo, i'd really love to see it being implemented in the UFC (or any of the other Orgs). These days, wrestlers get away with mished shots and not have to worry about getting knee'd or kicked in the head. With today's rules, it really does cater to the fighters with strong wrestling backgrounds.

Matt Hughes vs. Carlos Newton I for what could have been, except for the ref's judgement.
Fedor vs. anyone
Rickson Gracie vs. just about anyone
Any Anderson Silva fight in the UFC (his Pride fights were not nearly as impressive)
GSP vs. Hughes I and GSP vs. Penn I. Then GSP vs. Hughes II and III and GSP vs Penn II to see the evolution of fighter
The entire UFC I, if just for the commentary. Clearly, no one knows a thing about BJJ at this point. Nor about much in the way of martial arts, period.
Lyoto Machida vs. Thiago Silva for brains vs. brawns, and one very puzzled, ko'd Silva.
(Very recently) Sanchez vs. Guida for sheer craziness.
Penn vs. Joe Stevenson, which shows that you can only train so much.

imo, Griffin vs. Bonnar is sorta boring. It's just 2 dudes swinging. Neither uses much in the way of technique, nor show much beyond good chins.

UFC 92.

5 fights. 5 knockouts. One of the best UFC cards ever. And I was there, live.
