Thomas Gerbasi, UFC – The fights – they’re why everyone tunes in when the UFC is on television or in a local arena, and when it comes to classic bouts, 2010 has kept the organization’s history of excellence intact. So without further ado, here are this year’s best thus far.

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC – If there’s one thing that’s never in short supply in the UFC, it’s a wide array of spectacular knockouts. Of course, that makes this usually the toughest category to come up with a top five list, and we’re only in July. But here are five decisive finishes that should find favor with even the pickiest MMA fan.

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC – The most graceful finish in all of combat sports, the submission win can come in a number of ways, but the end result is always the same – a victory for the man pulling off the move, and a look of ‘what happened?’ from the victim. 2010 has had its share of memorable wins by way of submission, and here are the best so far.

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC – There’s nothing like a good upset to shake things up in the world of mixed martial arts, and the UFC had its share of interesting ones in the first half of 2010. And though the winners on the list below were underdogs going into these defining bouts, it’s safe to say that they won’t be sneaking up on anybody else anytime soon.

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC – Of the 35 fighters making their UFC debuts thus far in 2010, the big names were undoubtedly international stars Takanori Gomi, Renzo Gracie, and Gilbert Yvel. Yet the newcomers who truly made an impact in the Octagon were the fighters you may not have even heard of before the New Year began, but that you certainly know now.

Michael DiSanto, UFC – Wow.
Literally, that is the only word that I can come up with to describe UFC 116. Sure, there is typically at least one spectacular fight with an amazing finish. But who can remember the last time a fight card included no less than five come-from-behind wins and a razor-close split decision? I certainly can’t.
