Among the MMA media who log serious frequent flier miles following the UFC around the country all year, it takes something major to jar them out of the vague sense that fight night is another day at the office.
That's not to say that even the most grizzled road warriors on press row aren't appreciative of having a job they love following a sport they're passionate about, but when you start to hear the UFC's in-arena playlist in your sleep (damn you, techno remix of "Hotel California"!), some of the action can start to feel routine.
Then you get an event like UFC 139, which ended with quite possibly the best fight any of us had ever seen. As Dan Henderson and "Shogun" Rua battled back and forth for five rounds, a sense of baffled astonishment set in. It's that rare moment where you realize you're witnessing something amazing, even as that something is still happening. You could look at the faces of the fans in the arena and picture them preparing to tell their grandchildren about this night decades from now
