Everybody knows March is bracket season. And even though all those beautiful diagrams are traditionally reserved for college hoops this time of year, we're asking fight fans to join in on the fun.

The UFC has witnessed thousands of remarkable fights since 1993, but which one stands out above the rest? ESPN is relying on you, the fans, to determine the answer.

Earlier this month, we unveiled 16 selections for the title of Greatest Fight in UFC History. Today, you vote on the Elite Eight, followed by the Final Four on Wednesday.

Vote for your favorites, and tune in on April 5 to find out the ultimate winner.


No. 1 seed: The closest Jon Jones has ever come to a legitimate loss. Maybe they'll do it again someday.

No. 9 seed: One of the most anticipated matchups ever. The pride of the UFC (Chuck Liddell) vs. the pride of Pride (Wanderlei Silva). Fans wanted them to trade leather, and trade leather they did.

No. 5 seed: One of the most lopsided first rounds in MMA history, followed by one of the most amazing four-round comebacks in MMA history.

No. 13 seed: The backstory to this rivalry was incredible. McGregor's obsession over the first loss. Diaz's disgruntlement with how the UFC portrayed it. Culminating in a five-rounder for the ages.

No. 2 seed: Fifteen of the most historic minutes in the sport's history. UFC president Dana White credits it for essentially saving the company.

No. 7 seed: These two gave new meaning to the phrase "leave it all in the cage." They probably each took a piece of the other that night. Courageous fight.

No. 3 seed: The back-and-forth warfare of this bout has developed something of a cult following. Guts were displayed. Lots of guts.

No. 11 seed: Who can forget Sanchez's sprint at the opening bell in Las Vegas? Clay Guida's trademark hair turning into a bloody matte red? Savages.
