Welcome to Dan Tom’s “Fight Vault,” where MMA Junkie’s resident fight analyst delves into the archives to select his top five.
Ahead of this weekend’s UFC on ESPN+ 37 headliner between 135-pound contenders Marlon Moraes (23-6-1 MMA, 5-2 UFC) and Cory Sandhagen (12-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC), we look at Tom’s top five bantamweight battles of all time.
The list consists of four UFC fights, including an appearance from former flyweight king Demetrious Johnson, but the top spot goes to a WEC classic.
Watch the countdown in the video above, and let our fight analyst explain why he picked these bouts.
