The 2000s had Fedor vs Crocop (unanimously), the 2010s FOTD is, from what I've seen and researched, break up between Lawler vs McDonald and Khabib vs Conor, the primary is praised for the combat in itself (the injury inflicted by each males, the adjustments in momentum, THE stare down within the fourth spherical and so on.) the latter is praised for the magnitude of it (excessive degree combat too, however the stakes of the combat, the data which have been shattered, the construct up, the conflict of cultures, the worldwide buzz… We've by no means seen one thing like that earlier than and possibly by no means will once more).
We nonetheless have an extended method to go earlier than the last decade ends, and with it comes a plethora of potential future match ups, which match up you assume could be the Combat of the Decade?
Additionally, what are your standards for the FOTD? I'd say the ability degree comes first, then the stakes / storyline, then the way in which it performs out.
Thus far there have been nice fights similar to Volk vs Islam 1 (P4P #1 and #2, one of many highest shows of MMA we've ever seen) or Max vs Justin (UFC 300, dramatic end, gave an actual that means to a gimmick belt).
