Boring fights that you like

[76Knockout]

What are some old/current UFC fights that are widely considered meh/boring that you actually enjoy/rewatch?

I'll start with a couple for me


Forrest/Franklin

Basically any GSP fight
(Specifically I'll say GSP/Fitch and GSP Kos II for example)

What are some fights that aren't considered exciting/classics you enjoy?

 

[Brock Tober]

 

[BJPenn2012]

Condit vs Diaz

 

[RondaDrowsy]

when the fuck did franklin and forest fight each other? da fuk?

 

[Schoolboy Q]

Wasn't the most exciting fight, but I enjoyed Edgar shutting out Penn in the rematch.

 

[KingOfThePikeys]

People claim Overeem is fighting boring now because he's more cautious, but I love his fights.

 

[SUBLIME FAN]

Mir vs Big Country

 

[OneToughCookie]

Anything with Maia in it

 

[Towelie by TKO]

Couture vs Ortiz. It was just Randy out-wrestling Tito for 5 rounds, but it was hilarious to see Randy literally spanking Tito like he was his son.

 

[NightwingBJJ]

Silva vs Leites
Condit vs Diaz

 

[76Knockout]

Lol yes

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

Recently, I enjoyed Pettis vs Alvarez even though most people said it sucked and I was rooting for Pettis.

Before you started watching MMA.

Basically any GSP and Dominick fight, along with several fights like Condit vs. Diaz.

I honestly think that the level of dominance and therefore greatness achieved by fighters like Dominick Cruz and especially Georges St-Pierre could never be referred to as boring, just like I think a smart fight can be way better than a bar brawl. Still, I acknowledge that common sense says they're not exciting, so that's my vote.

I found that to be an enjoyable fight as well.

I've never felt bored during a fight with Dom or GSP in it, but I can see where some people would. I admire the high level game planning both fighters employ and stick to.

I don't think Fitch vs GSP was considered boring...

But anyway, the answer is any boring fight in which the guy I'm rooting for wins.

 

[LEGS MAHONEY]

machida vs hendp
