1.) pride 33 because the big name fights and upsets
2.) ufc 76 because even though it was called knokout all the decisions were really good fights
3.) ufc 68 because i absolutely loved watching randy dominate time for 5 rounds

UFC 71, EASY!!!!
I got 5 reasons...
1. We FINALLY got to see Chuck get his but whooped like a lot of us have been waiting for forever!!! Plus Rampage is my boy.
2. EVERY FIGHT was exciting or it was quick KO or Sub. EVERY FIGHT was worth watching!
3. Karo\Burkman put on a hell of a fight. Easily a contender for fight of the year. Back and forth action. Karo proved he got hands.
4. The birth of Houston Alexander in the UFC. Jardine got F'D UP!!!
5. It was the start of his title reign which won't in for a LONG LONG time. No way the new GREAT Rampage can be stopped...
I was going to go with 74, but after that explanation, I completely agree. Its got to be 71.

Pride 33 by a long shot. Not only the best event of the year but overall one of the best MMA events to date. Some great fights on that event.
Joachim Hansen vs Jason Ireland - Great fight. Probably one of the most underrated of the year.
Sokoudjou vs Rogerio Nogueira - Great just for the shock factor.
Hayato Sakurai vs Mac Danzig - Another good fight. Some nice judo skills shown by Sakurai.
Alistair Overeem vs Mauricio Rua - Good fight, spectacular ending.
Takanori Gomi vs Nick Diaz - Crazy fight.
Dan Henderson vs Wanderlei Silva - Another wild fight with an incedible finish.

Yeah its obvious to everyone bar the ufc fanboys that PRIDE 33 was the best ppv of 2007 and cant be beat but for the UFC's i would say this -
Best main event - UFC 68 Randy dominating Tim
Best Co Main Event - UFC 74 GSP beating Kos at his own game
Best fight - close between UFC 67 (tyson edgar) and UFC 72 (tyson guida)
Best event name - UFC 74 "Respect" with Randys last fight in the UFC that event name is very surpisingly poignant as thats why Randy left, a lack of it
Worst event - hard to say but prolly 67 if it wasnt for the FOTY or maybe 69 with the gash diego kos fight and the very unfun to watch GSP Serra fight
_______________________________________
MY LHW DIVISION PREDICTION = Rashad beats Forrest. Wandy beats Rashad. Machida beats Wandy. Then Randy beats Machida at next years Xmas UFC!

This is hard, but I'm gonna try to rank the PPV's so far this year. I'll also include the two Spike PPVs because they were numbered events.
1. UFC 77: Hostile Territory
We had the MW title fight w/ Silva/Franklin 2, plus we had a solid fight for a title shot b/t Sylvia and Vera. It was also the debut of future star Demian Maia and that great fight b/t Matt Grice and Jason Black.
2. UFC 68: Uprising
It was the return of Couture to take back the HW title, and that makes it a great card in and of itself. You also had the comeback matches of former champs Franklin and Hughes.
3. UFC 71: Liddell vs. Jackson
You obviously had that great KO win by Rampage, plus there was that fight between Alexander and Jardine that was a 60 second slugfest. Karo and Burkman put on a great show for 15 minutes for a well-rounded card.
4. UFC 69: Shootout
Possibly the biggest upset of the year when Serra took the WW title from GSP. You also had two OK fights w/ Kos/Diego and Okami/Swick. A lot of people forget about the Huerta/Garcia fight that was also on this card.
5. UFC 75: Champion vs. Champion
It was a 5-rounder that Rampage won over Hondo to unify the 205 belts. Plus you had that Bisping/Hamill match, even though it ended in controversy. Cro Cop and Kongo was also a solid fight.
6. UFC 76: Knockout
Even though there were no knockouts on a card called "Knockout," there were some good fights. You had Jardine/Liddell, Forrest/Shogun, and Fitch/Diego.
7. UFC 73: Stacked
Yeah, we had two title fights, but neither guy really deserved a shot. Plus, Rashad/Tito ending in a draw was like kissing your sister.
8. UFC 74: Respect
You had a good fight for the HW title b/t Randy and Gonzaga, but not much else. Kos/GSP was also on this card.
9. UFC 70: Nations Collide
The main event, where Gonzaga won by head kick over Cro Cop, was one of the best fights of the year. Arlovski/Werdum and Kongo/Assuerio were also decent fights.
10. UFC 67: All or Nothing
Lutter didn't make weight for his MW title fight w/ Anderson, so the main event was shot. The only highlights of this card were the debuts of Rampage and Cro Cop.
11. UFC 72: Victory
Franklin/Okami is a main event? Plus, this was shown at like 5 pm in the States. The only good part of this fight was the Guida/Griffin fight. That may be fight of the year...
i disagree strongly with your picks, u have to be kidding me to say UFC 77 was the best. Besides Silva/Franklin, most of them were average at best. Grice v.s. black wasnt even shown.
UFC 71 kind of sucked too. Liddell/Rampage fight was pretty boring if u rewatch it. Karo/Burkman was decent, and housten alexander put on a good show, for all of 45 seconds.
UFC 74 was no doubt the best
Randy/Gonzaga was nonstop, St.Pierre Koscheck was pretty good, Huerta/Crane was great, how can u not like watch one guy show off sick jiu jitsu skills while the other guy constantly punches him in the face. Stevenson/pelligrono was a good fight also, very fast paced. And Groove/Cote put on a good fight
Your crazy if u would take UFC 77 over 74

i kind of meant best pay per view of the ufc,
but i do watch exelite looking forward to the nov card
i do miss pride, miss the bushido's and always enjoyed watching the tournaments, i miss watching gomi fight, i know some of those guys still aren't signed arona, barnett, i just can't believe the ufc will pass on them. at times pride was boring but i love their rules the kicks, knees while there down, stomps, slams with no cage to hold onto. i will miss pride, but i will say i am glad that some fighters are now in the ufc to fight
