Forgotten Fights of Yesteryear: Chuck Liddell vs. Guy Mezger

Of Chuck Liddell's three-fight excursion into Pride Fighting Championships, two are beloved classics. His clash with a young Alistair Overeem is considered one of the most exciting, back-and-forth wars you'll ever see that spanned five minutes or less, as well as a beautiful knockout for the “Iceman.” His first encounter against Quinton Jackson was another tremendous battle, one that occurred in the semifinals of Pride's middleweight grand prix and had major ramifications for the argument about whether Pride or the Ultimate Fighting Championship was better.

Yet what if I was to tell you that it was the third fight, against Guy Mezger, that was arguably the best, most entertaining of the trio, one that every MMA fan is depriving themselves if they haven't seen?
