There aren’t too many rematches in MMA, but when there is, there is usually a lot more anticipation for them than the first time around.
Depending on how the first fight ends, it’s a likely result that a rematch will occur if one fighter does just enough to get by the other or wins a controversial decision.
In other cases, a fighter may get beaten decisively in the first fight but rebuild himself back up to challenge the one who beat him. More often than not, it results in the same guy losing again and sometimes even more decisively.
Some things must be taken into consideration when determining which fighters produced the best two-fight blowouts in MMA history.
First, a finish is always favored over a decision. The sooner, the better. Quality of opponent is also taken into consideration.
Second, the second fight is weighed more heavily than the first so if the winner comes back and wins the rematch more decisively, it counts more than the other way around.
Remember, the fighter has to be 2-0 against their opponent. Trilogies where one fighter is 2-1 against the other will not be included.
