UFC 68 was an extremely interesting story. Randy Couture was already a 2-time UFC Heavyweight Champion and a former Light Heavyweight Champion. He was coming out of a one-year retirement and it had been the first time in 5 years that he fought as a heavyweight.

With a considerable size difference and Couture past his prime, Sylvia was the odds on favourite to win. However, Couture would take Sylvia to a 5-round war, winning the title for the third time by unanimous decision.

JDS shocked the world when he finished Cain Velasquez, becoming UFC Heavyweight champion. However, his second fight with Velasquez was different. It was a different Cain altogether and he had to go the distance, being clearly outclassed by the man he previously beat.

Velasquez won back the Heavyweight title and would conclude his trilogy with Dos Santos by finishing him in the fifth round. It's still considered by many to be the greatest MMA trilogy ever.
