Over the past several years, the UFC has displayed some of the greatest entertainment known to man. The sport allows fans to witness first hand, real-life excitement through fighting.
The sport of MMA is filled with hundreds of different personalities attracting fans of all kinds. We’ve seen fighters who aren’t the slightest bit shy to say what they feel and we’ve seen fighters play the role of the silent assassin.

Over the past decade we have seen some of the greatest fights in the history of the UFC. While the UFC has clearly been the center stage for fighters across the globe, it’s certainly not the only place we’ve seen exciting fights.
While fighting outside of the Octagon does not occur regularly, there are some exceptions. Outside of the UFC we have almost seen it all. The one-punch knockouts, fans interacting in fights and the bench-clearing brawls.
The following video slides display the top five sports fights that have occurred away from the sport of mixed martial arts. Please sit back and enjoy.

On April 9th, 2005, Forrest Griffin became a world-wide hit as he defeated Stephan Bonnar to win “The Ultimate Fighter.” It was arguably one of, if not the greatest fight, in UFC history. In fact, as the fight advanced in rounds, the number of viewers nearly doubled.
Griffin went on to win his next two fights, defeating Bill Mahood and Elvis Sinosic and establishing himself as a legitimate contender in the Light Heavyweight division. Then Griffin hit a road block in his career, losing two of his next three fights to Tito Ortiz and Keith Jardine.
On September 22nd, 2007, Griffin has a career-defining moment when he upset Mauricio “Shogun” Rua at UFC 76 by submission in the third round. In his very next fight, Griffin was the new Light Heavyweight champion as he defeated Quinton “Rampage” Jackson at UFC 86 by Unanimous Decision.
It appeared Griffin was on top of the world with no signs of slowing down, until he lost his first title defense to Rashad Evans at UFC 92 by TKO in the third round of action. His next fight was the most disappointing fight of his career, when Anderson Silva toyed around with him and knocked him out in the very first round.
Griffin went on to win his next two bouts, but those were against Tito Ortiz and Rich Franklin, fighters who are on the decline of their careers. When Griffin defeated Ortiz, it was Ortiz’s third loss in four fights (with the fourth being a draw), while Franklin has been inconsistent of late, losing three of his last five fights.
Approaching UFC 134, Griffin made some shocking statements questioning his love for the sport.
Griffin said, “It ain’t been exciting, fresh or fun since 2008. It’s a job, it’s money, and I have a great job, I realize that. Just because it works doesn’t mean I’m not gonna do it. You man up and you do your job and I make a lot of money doing this, and I love money and I love the freedom and ability money gives you. It quit being fun when I realized I wasn’t getting better. I’m plateauing or almost getting worse sometimes.”
Griffin admitted his job isn’t fun anymore and that he isn’t getting better. He went on to state that he loved the money and the freedom that comes with it.
Griffin displayed his second-worst performance at UFC 134, where he was knocked out in the first round by Rua in their rematch. Rua outstruck Griffin 16 to three, and redeemed himself after losing to Griffin at UFC 76.
While Griffin is still a good fighter, his love for the sport appears to be fading fast, if it’s not already gone. In order to be above your competition, an individual must possess a love for the sport. It appears as if Griffin’s love for money has far surpassed his love for fighting in the UFC.
It will be interesting to see what’s next for Griffin, but one thing’s for sure: if he doesn’t regain his love for the sport, he may never be the same.

The UFC will be taking its talents to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, in what has the potential to be one of the greatest fight cards in UFC history. UFC 134 consists of five main card fights, two prelims and five undercard fights.
Although the card has some fairly inexperienced fighters, it also has all the ingredients necessary to go down in the history books.
While we know UFC legends such as Anderson Silva and Mauricio “Shogun” Rua have knocked out many opponents in the past, what about the remaining fighters? One thing is for certain as we quickly approach UFC 134 in Brazil: There will be knockouts.
Lets take a look at five potential fights that could end in a knockout. Please, sit back and enjoy.
