Ranking the Best Fights from ESPN's 'UFC Day'
Shogun Rua (top) punches Dan HendersonJeff Chiu/Associated PressIf we're sticking strictly to a sports programming context, MMA fans are pretty lucky this weekend. Suddenly content-thin ESPN is throwing the kitchen sink at its daily television schedule, and as a result the UFC has taken center stage.
Starting Saturday at 12 pm Eastern, ESPN is having what it calls UFC Day. Eight of the best UFC fights of all time will air back to back.
This is the creme de la creme, so any and all are more than worth a watch. But three bouts from this crop stuck out as true appointment viewing. Get a snack, pull up a chair and settle in.
Robbie Lawler (28-14-1) vs Rory MacDonald (21-6-1)
