Review: 2014-04-26, tough fight with some good single shots but it is not enough to get three stars: Jon Jones vs Glover Teixeira gets two. Jon Jones entered this fight with a professional mma record of 19-1-0 (79% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.1 light heavyweight in the world, his only loss was, in reality, a disqualification against Matt Hamill due to multiple “12-6 elbows” (strike brought from a high position toward the floor). Jon ‘Bones’ Jones is the Ufc light-Hw champion since March 19, 2011 when he defeated Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua (=Jon Jones vs Mauricio Rua); since then he has successfully defended the title six times.
His opponent, Glover Teixeira, has an official record of 22-2-0 (86% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.6 in the same weight class, he is 34 years old (8 years older than Jones) and he is a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Teixeira suffered his first defeat at his pro mma debut against Eric Schwartz in 2002 and against Ed Herman three years later; he is undefeated in the Ufc. Jones vs Teixeira, main event of Ufc 172, is valid for the Ufc light heavyweight title (Jones’ seventh defense), first Ufc title shot for Teixeira. Watch the video and rate this fight!
Review: 2011-11-19, amazing and tough fight, great strikes, excellent grappling techniques, high pace: this is what we want, this is mma and this is a Fight of the Year. Congratulations to Shogun and Hendo, two real warriors (awarded with “Fight of the Night” honors). Mauricio “Shogun” Rua (20-5-0) entered as the No.2 light heavyweight in the world while Dan Henderson (28-8-0) entered as the No.6. “Shogun” Rua vs Henderson was the main event of the UFC 139; they also faced each other a second time on March 23, 2014 (=Mauricio “Shogun” Rua vs Dan Henderson 2).

Review: Brendan Schaub vs Mirko Cro Cop Filipovic wins our three stars just for the impressive Ko of Schaub on Cro Cop Filipovic, given that the first and the second rounds are not very exciting. Watch the video!
Review: the fight of the Ufc 128 between Nate Marquardt and Dan Miller sometimes lights, thanks to the beautiful actions of Marquardt, but the pace of the fight is not very high: just two stars for Nate Marquardt vs Dan Miller. Watch the video!
Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2020-11-05, pretty good fight between Corey Anderson and Melvin Manhoef: it gets three stars.
The Tuf 19 tournament winner Corey Anderson entered this fight with a professional mma record of 13-5-0 (38% ko/tko victory rate – he has never won via submission) and he is ranked as the No.10 light heavyweight in the world but he comes off the loss against Jan Blachowicz (Corey Anderson vs Jan Blachowicz 2). In his previous two bouts he had beat Johnny Walker (Corey Anderson vs Johnny Walker) and Ilir Latifi (Corey Anderson vs Ilir Latifi).
His opponent, the 44-year-old Melvin Manhoef (13 years older than Anderson), has an official record of 32-14-1 (91% ko/tko victory rate – he has never won via submission) and he entered as the No.55 in the same weight class. He lost two consecutive fights between 2016 and 2017, both against Rafael Carvalho (Carvalho vs Manhoef I and Rafael Carvalho vs Melvin Manhoef 2), but then he has won over Kent Kauppinen (Melvin Manhoef vs Kent Kauppinen) and Yannick Bahati.
