KAO dio proslave 25 godina postojanja UFC je objavio popis 25 najboljih borbi u svom oktogonu.
Očekivano, na prvoj poziciji je uzvratni meč Conora McGregora i Natea Diaza iz 20. kolovoza 2016. godine. Zanimljivo, njih dvojica su i na drugom mjestu s borbom iz travnja iste godine. Prvu borbu je dobio Diaz, a revanš McGregor odlukom sudaca.
Na popisu nema hrvatskih boraca i njihovih mečeva.
