#4. Rose Namajunas vs. Jessica Andrade - UFC strawweight division

At UFC 237, Rose Namajunas looked to defend her strawweight title against Jessica Andrade in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She appeared to be on course in the first round before Andrade delivered a shocking knockout slam in the second to win the belt on home soil.

Namajunas did not compete again for over a year but when she did, it was once again against her Brazilian rival. The rematch was a tightly contested three-round affair that left the judges divided. Ultimately, Namajunas had her hand raised after securing a split decision win.

While it wasn't a dominant performance, the victory was clearly a big one for Namajunas given how the first fight between the pair had gone. She rode that momentum into her next fight which saw her regain her strawweight title. Having now lost it once again, it will be interesting to see if she can become a three-time champion.

#3. Michael Bisping vs. Dan Henderson - UFC middleweight division

Michael Bisping finally winning the middleweight title was one of the most iconic moments in MMA history. He followed up that performance by taking on a man who had brutally knocked him out back in 2009. On that day, Henderson starched Bisping with a devastating right-hook in the second round.

With both men towards the end of their respective careers the second time around, the bout was not quite as explosive as the first. After struggling somewhat early on, Bisping was able to turn the tide in the rematch and eventually secured a unanimous decision victory.

While the rematch did not produce as viral a finish as the first, it was a highly satisfying win for Bisping to settle the bad blood between them. He got his revenge against Henderson but would lose his following bout against a returning Georges St-Pierre.
