As we approach the end of December, more specifically UFC 141, it’s important to remember how we got here.
This year may have offered the best fights ever in a 12-month span.
From Anderson Silva and Jon Jones KO title defenses, to two championship bouts between Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard, this year has encompassed unbelievable knockouts, submissions, comeback victories and legendary showdowns.
To be honest with you, constructing this list was a lot harder than I initially expected, considering the magnitude of fights and depth of talent that the UFC gives its fans on a monthly basis.
With that said, along with the expectations of UFC 141 being a legitimate PPV event to ring in the new year, here are the top 10 UFC events of 2011.
I apologize in advance if anybody is offended because their favorite fighters, or fights, fail to make this list. There were simply too many jaw-dropping events.
And a quick heads up. George St. Pierre and BJ Penn are not on this list. Probably the only time over the past five years in which you can’t call me crazy for not throwing them on here. Enjoy.
