It’s one thing to be involved in an incredibly violent fight whether it’s in the Octagon, the Ring, or even on the streets… it’s another thing to walk away from it. Here’s a handful of people that were lucky enough to look absolute violence right in the eyes and to live to see another day.
Stephan Bonnar and Forrest Griffin Introduce the world to MMA
We’ll start this off with a two-for-one. The fight of the century. Both of these UFC fighters threw everything they had into this all-out slugfest. It’s the first time that UFC was shown on cable TV and they knew they had to make a good first impression. This back and forth brawl put the UFC on the map, and terrified soccer moms across the nation. Forrest would go on to become champion and ultimately retire, Bonnar is still fighting in Bellator.
Very Brutal 2 on 1 Streetfight
Usually when one guy’s trying to walk away while the other keeps chirping, it’s because he’s a beast and he doesn’t want to be responsible for what he could do to the idiot. In this case however, the guy talking shit is confident because he’s got his buddy waiting around the corner to come in and unload free shots to the outnumbered guy’s head while he’s held in place.

Chris Lytle Donates Blood
This UFC fight was an absolute bloodbath. Chris Lytle gave enough blood to save a dozen lives, but his reward for that heroic act was a decision loss to Josh Koscheck at UFC 86.
“There was a lot of blood loss in the Koscheck fight and maybe my legs weren’t quite doing as well as they should have been, but I think it’s just about mental toughness and fighting through it. If you look at the end of that fight, it ended up with me on the feet landing some good punches, still trying to take him out.” – Chris Lytle
Gatti and Ward Went to War For The Best Round in Boxing History
This fight was destined to be a classic before the opening bell even rang. Many people consider this to be one of the greatest ’50s style fights in boxing, period. You aren’t seeing two men in gloves trading punches in a boxing ring, all you’re seeing is pure heart.
