At UFC 81, the Mir-Lesnar rivalry began when Mir (left) came from behind to submit the former professional wrestler. Lesnar rebounded with a win of his own at UFC 100 (pictured), stopping Mir. The two have constantly made known their dislike for one another, with Mir usually taking the antagonistic role.

Boxing 209 43 Top rivalries in the UFC 11238896 Chuck Liddell vs. Tito Ortiz Chuck+Liddell+vs.+Tito+Ortiz Boxing

Many thought Ortiz (right) dodged a fight with Liddell when he was light heavyweight champion, but, after losing the title, Ortiz and “The Iceman” finally met for the first time with Liddell scoring the TKO. Liddell beat Ortiz a second time at UFC 66 (pictured) and the two were scheduled to meet a third time after their stint coaching opposite one another on “The Ultimate Fighter 11,” but Ortiz was forced to withdraw.

Penn (left) and St-Pierre first started to have big problems after their second fight (pictured), with the Canadian winning on both occasions. Penn accused St-Pierre and his corner of applying Vaseline to the body of the welterweight champion and followed up those accusations with suggestions that the champion may have used performance enhancing drugs.

Boxing 209 43 Top rivalries in the UFC 11238802 Dan Hardy vs. Marcus Davis Dan+Hardy+vs.+Marcus+Davis Boxing

This welterweight matchup was not of grave importance by any means, but Hardy’s way with words made this one that much more appealing. Hardy (right) destroyed Davis mentally with his trash talk and Photoshop skills and won a split decision over “The Irish Hand Grenade” at UFC 99. Davis has taken taken the rivalry to a different level with ill statements, including his recent Twitter message implying his wish for Hardy to die of AIDS.
