"Deepest" shows in the 1st half of 2009

by JCS_FM on Jul 31, 2009 7:19 PM EDT

A deep show (in our opinion) is one that features matches between fighters that are BOTH ranked (by us) at the time of the match. These first-half shows had the most of these matches.

1st Place: UFC 97 [11]

T-2nd Place: Affliction 2, UFC 95, UFC 98, Sengoku Seventh [9]

Rounding out the Top 10

T-6th: UFC Fight Night 17, UFC 94, UFC 96 [8]

T-9th: Sengoku No Ran, UFC 99, WEC 40, Dream 8, UFC UF 9 Finale [7]

Its probably no surprise, but UFC pulled through with 8 of the top 13 "deepest" shows. How do you feel about this list? Agree? Disagree? Remember, its only for January through June.

You mean Affliction 2?

I don’t think they’re actually going to let him kill me... And if he does kills me, book sales will really go up. Boom…win-win, bitch.- Forrest Griffin on Anderson Silva

It’s pretty interesting that UFN 17 was that high. It was a fun card.
