We are in the final quarter of 2016, and the UFC schedule is bananas. Or, as the kids like to say these days, lit.
It’s so lit, in fact, that while choosing the top 10 fights remaining on the schedule, we left several title fights off the list. You won’t see Tyron Woodley vs. Stephen Thompson or the rematch between Daniel Cormier and Anthony Johnson here. Those two exceptional fights, among many others, simply couldn’t crack the top 10.
This is how 2016 is going to finish—with incredible fight after incredible fight during a two-month span.
In the final two months, the UFC will bring 10 live events to your television screen in one form or another, and almost every event offers a slate of exciting bouts. We are about to embark on a thrilling ride, and these are the best of the best.
Let’s jump right into the 10 best fights before the calendar turns to 2017.
