Ben Rothwell has used brawling well, but he's just way bigger than most of the guys he's fighting. He may actually take less damage brawling than he would plodding around waiting to get hit.
In general, I think it might be worth it to have a huge brawl early in your UFC career (like bermudez-grice). Just make sure its a televised fight. Then you get to capitalize on that rep for years. But once you get old, it is not worth it. Arlovski's last two fights have been insanely brutal, but they're a total waste. I don't even think Wanderlei Stann was worth it for those guys.
