Great offense, poor defense

[TheBenjamins21]

First one that comes to mind is Andrei Arlovski, some of the most beautiful striking in MMA coupled with an unfortunate chin and poor defense as well, which causes him to take a lot of damage.

Others:
Edson Barboza
Donald Cerrone
Erick Silva
Nick Diaz
JDS
Glover
Fedor
Cain
Alistair

These guys are nasty when they are the ones attacking, but they seem to get hit a lot.

If anything I'd say the opposite with Fedor, his standup defence was more impressive than his offence, that's really what beat Crocop and Nog the 3rd time and even Arlovski late in his career didn't land much on him.

A few other names that come to mind are Hendo, Herring, Ellenburger, Cyborg(male and female),

Fedor was almost stopped by Bret Rogers

Fedor was almost stopped by Bret Rogers

No he wasn't.

Fedor was almost stopped by Bret Rogers

Umm nope, thats not true. Brett landed like some good GNP but almost stopped.....come on now.....

 

[TheBenjamins21]

JDS? Are you kidding me?

JDS sort of wades into his opponents with his hands low throwing hooks from his hips. Nelson and Carwin landed big shots on JDS, not to mention the Cain fights.

Anderson was knocked out, caught with his hands at his waist. Terrible defense, he should be number 1 on your list.

Bret Rogers broke Fedor's nose with the first jab.

Happened once, while he was clowning. The guys on my list get hit all the time when they are trying not to.

 

[PeterTheGreat]

Nick Diaz has great defense, he just prefered to talk shit.

You're drunk as fuck if you say JDS

Leonard Garcia has bad defense

 

[DrRodentia]

Bret Rogers broke Fedor's nose with the first jab.

He reopened a cut on his nose.

Fedor and Cain yet no Brock?

Damn, good one. Pat Barry and Kongo too.
