The rematch between Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen was no doubt the biggest event of the year and will likely hold onto that title throughout the year. It was one of the most hyped rematches in UFC history, and although it was brief, lived up to hype surrounding it.
Hype is something all these fights have in common. Although footnotes in history by now, they were some of the biggest battles in the UFC’s history. They’ve impacted world titles and have become some of the greatest rivalries that have unfolded before us.
Other than the hype, the bouts on this list were also entertaining and exciting. Providing back-and-forth action, the fights kept us on the edge of our seats from the opening bell until the climactic finish came. In some cases, the finish came out of nowhere, while in others it was only a matter of time before victory was achieved.
Fans became deeply divided on these contests, but all can agree these are the best title rematches in UFC history.
