#4 Carlos Newton vs Matt Hughes
This was a battle finish so insane thus dubious that WWE really chose to scam it around a half year later, and it justified a rematch not exactly a year after the underlying battle.
The battle being referred to saw UFC Welterweight champion Carlos Newton – who had ousted long-term champ Pat Miletich a couple of months in advance – making his first guard against Miletich protégé and severely amazing wrestler Matt Hughes.

The first round of the battle was a by and large exemplary; the sheer quality of Hughes against the smooth procedure of Newton, and it was difficult to part the two – Hughes brought Newton down with some high-affect pummels, yet gotten himself outgrappled and even mounted at a certain point. Going into the second, the best the fans could have sought after was business as usual.
Some way or another, they got considerably more than that. Hughes conveyed another trademark pummel to start the round, yet before he could arrive some ground-and-pound, Newton tossed his legs up and got the challenger in a triangle stifle.

Unfit to free himself, Hughes did the main thing that appeared to sound good to him – and lifted Newton up into the air while still got in the hold.
Newton wound up propped against the enclosure in mid-air, yet at the same time kept on fixing the stifle – and as the blood supply to his cerebrum was cut off, Hughes fallen to the ground – taking Newton with him.

The two men collided with the canvas and for a second, it looked like arbitrator ‘Enormous’ John McCarthy did not know very what to do as it gave the idea that the two contenders were oblivious. That was until the point that Hughes came around first – and was immediately granted the battle – and title.
Post-battle even Hughes could not accept what had occurred, while Newton’s group dissented that as the two men had been oblivious, the battle should have been regarded a No Contest.

Hughes could settle things by beating Newton in a rematch a year later, yet the complete to that battle was not even close as insane as this one – which remains a one of a kind closure in UFC history very nearly 20 years later.
