Is it on your greatest fight of all time top 10? I think Nog/Couture is a great one to start with you have some great stand up exchanges and also some great grappling in there

Henderson/Cerrone I, then Sanchez/Kampmann, so they can see some of the best striking and grappling :D

Everyone will say Griffin vs. Bonnar I because, hell yeah it was a great fight. When it comes to skill, technique, back and forth action, and all around great fight Couture vs. Rizzo I was one of the best fights ever IMO. The greatest ground war of all time was Nick Diaz vs. Karo Parysian. Craziest KOs would have to be Chieck Kongo vs. Pat Barry and Scott Smith vs. Pete Sell. Greatest come from behind victories are Frank Shamrock vs. Tito Ortiz, Rory MacDonald vs. Carlos Condit, and Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen. Then two great stand-up fights that I really enjoyed were Chuck Liddell vs. Vitor Belfort and Chuck Liddel vs. Wanderlei Silva.

If somone is brand new to MMA, then you have to show them where it all started. Underground Vale Tudo tournaments from 1989-1994 (if you can find them anymore), Underground Shoot Fighting 1991-1993 (they used to be on PPV for only $10 or less back then. Don't know if those videos can be found, but there's some pretty great fights in that organization), Pancrase from 1993-1996, and of course you have to show UFC 1-4 with Royce Gracie and PRIDE 1 & 2 with Rickson Gracie.
