Starting this up again. As before this is in no way an official thing or anything, it's more just meant as a reminder of the cool/awful/interesting poo poo that happens this year. If something interesting happens post it, preferably with a link/gif/story whatever if possible and I'll add it to the list.

a competent, physically superior fighter humiliates a dweeb claiming to have a black belt in karate. although i'd argue that a swirlie is more dignified than getting your rear end kicked with pro wrestling, the result is still thoroughly baffling, and thoroughly japanese

El Generico posted:Is there such a thing as a fight that's so bad it's funny, even for the most casual of MMA fans? There absolutely is. You should start with Soa Palelei vs. Nikita Krylov, it's probably the best "so bad it's good" UFC fight ever. Mariusz Pudzianowski's losses to James Thompson and Tim Sylvia where he turns eggplant purple from being so tired are great. Heavyweight MMA in general is where you'll find most of the hilarious bad fights.

MrSmokes posted:There absolutely is. You should start with Soa Palelei vs. Nikita Krylov The following statements are made with total lack of MMA knowledge. Wow. By the second round they were both so tired they were barely holding each other up. I'm surprised Palelei won since Krylov was showing more energy earlier, but Krylov seemed to just give up. Kimbo Slice appears to be a big guy who has little idea what he's doing, and Houston Alexander seems even less competent. I feel like Alexander was giving him every opportunity to finish him, short of holding his chin out and pointing at it with a flashing neon arrow, and Kimbo was just infuriating in how he couldn't. It went to a decision out of sheer mutual terribleness. This one was both difficult to sit through and totally fascinating at the same time.

El Generico posted:The following statements are made with total lack of MMA knowledge. It's quite a bit funnier after you watch enough fights to get a kind of basic knowledge of the ground game, because Krylov expends a ton of energy doing things from his back that sort of look like grappling moves but aren't. He just has no idea what he's doing.

Added the garbage stoppage from a non submission from tonight's card to the refereeing incompetence category Also added a performance of the year category for fighters that do ridiculous poo poo that doesn't really fit into the foty or finish category but is worthy of recognition, the kind of thing TJ Dillashaw would have won last year. I added Anthony Johnson's destruction of Gus and the two title fight performances from last week, if anyone has any other suggestions feel free to add them
