#4 Thiago Alves vs Matt Hughes
Who doesn't love an underdog winning unexpectedly? Not just because of the shock value but also because it inspires belief and action from the spectators.
After the main event, Chuck Lidell vs Rashad Evans had to be put out due to Lidell's hamstring injury, Hughes got the call to headline the event at UFC 85. Thiago Alves was called as the opponent for the dominant former champion. Alves took up the opportunity but surprised many by failing to make weight and came in at 174 pounds.
The speculation was flying that he did not take the fight seriously, though he later denied such allegations. Despite the pre fight blunder, Alves shocked the crowd as he went on to dominate the former champion and legend by picking him apart throughout the first round.
The icing on the cake turned out to be a brutal flying knee that knocked down Hughes and rendered him unable to defend himself intelligently, resulting in a massive upset via TKO in the second round in the favour of Alves.
