2013 gave us some of the best fights of all time in Jones vs. Gustafsson and Melendez vs. Sanchez, but 2014 was plagued with injuries for the UFC. Despite being hit with so many injuries and fight cancellations, the year featured some standout performances in MMA.
Matt Brown and Robbie Lawler put on a five-round brawl in July. Brown also had an epic scrap with the ultra-talented Erick Silva, and Lawler was involved in a close, all-time great welterweight title fight with Johny Hendricks.
The very first main event of the year for the UFC between Tarec Saffiedine and Hyun Gyu Lim was a wild fight as well. And who can forget about the slugfest between Abel Trujillo and Jaime Varner at UFC 169?
Even though there was a lot of bad news in 2014, a few fighters put it all on the line and had some great encounters inside the cage.
