Maybe you're not giving enough credit to a fight in which both participants clearly put everything they had into it, and defied all expectations with their toughness. It was never a technically perfect fight, not even close, but there were moments of legitimately good technique on both sides, and neither guy could have really done more. What's a great fight, if that wasn't? Shogun vs Henderson was great for the same reasons, and was probably even more technique-less than Bigfoot/Hunt.
