Those seem pretty on the mark. I might go with the Barbosa switch knee KO over his wheel kick. And I definitely would downgrade Frank Mir - esp when using a strength sub - considering the vast amounts of synthetic hormones he's been on. **** that guy.
Hi love, bye love, I will miss my love.

IIRC he got out of a choke from Nog and then broke his arm. Pretty badass. Even with the juice.

I think the story of the decade is UFC's march to the mainstream. I would not have expected it to be a feature on ESPN 10 years ago.

Re: MMA's Bests of the Last Decade
Bigfoot v Hunt was probably my favorite fight of the decade. It was like a real life Rocky movie. Found out later that Silva was juicing which makes Marks performance all the more impressive.
