22-11 Summary

Have you spotted your favourite championship fight yet?

Chuck Liddell vs Tito Ortiz II back at UFC 66 felt huge at the time, and rightfully so comes in at 20, but what about number 19.

Jose Aldo vs Conor McGregor... surely that could have come in higher just for the magnitude of the fight and the shock of it?!

As you can see, a lot of these fights were from a while back, bar the Aldo/McGregor encounter at UFC 194.

Does that mean the top 10 is stacked with more recent fights?
