Is this the biggest crowd “pop” in MMA history? Tim Sylvia VS Randy Couture UFC 68 Classic

I remember watching this live on TV and anyone who watched back then knew how big of a folk hero Randy was in MMA. He was an underdog going into the fight, coming out of retirement while moving up a weight class to heavyweight to take on long time champion Tim Silvia. This is a personal favorite moment of mine for a couple reasons. Obviously everyone was cheering for Randy because of who he is/was to the mma community but also because Tim Silvia was starting to put on boring fights but he still won. My father swore the last PPV he would ever buy was the Tim Silvia vs Jeff Monson fight because it was so boring because Silvia wouldn’t engage Monson on the ground and Monson would just lay there staring up at Tim. This fight brought my father back to ordering every PPV again (thank god because I wasn’t able to watch MMA otherwise). Huge smile on my face when ever I watch this

Other notable pops are:

Fajita vs Fedor (Fedor gets wobbled)

Adesanya vs Strickland (Adesanya gets dropped)

Mcgregor vs Alvarez (Avarez dropped 1st time)

Silva vs Sonnen (Silva gets dropped)

Henderson vs Pettis (showtime kick)
