10. UFC 244: Masvidal vs. Diaz
Bringing things up to the present, where better to finish our list than with MMA Junkie’s 2019 Event of the Year?
UFC 244 had a little bit of everything. The President of the United States was in the house, and received a reception best described as mixed from the New York crowd. The Rock was also in attendance, as WWE superstar-turned all-round entertainment behemoth Dwayne Johnson arrived with the “BMF” belt. And, of course, we had a great card of fights.
The prelims served up a host of eye-catching finishes before the big names of the main card took over, with a knockout of the year contender, a back-and-forth welterweight war, the arrival of a new middleweight contender and, in the main event, the fight to be the Baddest Mother(expletive) in the game.
