Michael Bisping reveals what he thinks is the worst UFC fight of all time

Bisping thinks Rose Namajunas vs Carla Esparza, was the most boring UFC ever. I agree; that's why I made this thread. There have a bunch of boring UFC fights, any worse than Rose and Carla?

It was so bad that even the biggest UFC hype man, Dana White, was watching boxing during it

Kimbo vs Houston was another boring fight. The difference though is that while boring, there's still a chance that there could be a KO at any time. There's almost no chance of that in the Rose-Carla fight

Really, really, chronically boring fights are often very samey, with just nothing at all happening.

Rose vs Esparza bizarrely seemed to get a pass at the time, but I think a lot of that reaction from fans also comes from the fact Dana didn't throw them under the bus - largely because he wasn't even watching.

It was TERRIBLE. Truly AWFUL. Pat Barry should have been kicked out of the arena that night.

Dana saw an opening to get Zhang back as a champion, he didn't mind.

Also Anderson Vs Thales Leites.

After both of those Dana was threatening to cut Anderson.

Yes! I was thinking about those. Has any other champion been threatened with not only demotion to the prelims, but also outright firing?

Well Mighty Mouse lost his title to a very questionable split decision and then Dana traded him straight up for Askren lol

Anderson Silva vs Demian Maia was another fight that was awful and in contention for most boring...ever.

Anderson-Maia was hilarious given the context. I still drop "where's your jiu-jitsu now, playboi" every now and then.

I know people were frustrated by Anderson but I was actually pretty entertained by his trolling and ability to give absolutely zero fucks.

See I don't think that one can be considered since that fight could have ended literally any second. Enough tension to not feel boring atleast.

That just makes it worse.

There's been so many shitty fights in MMA that it's hard to pick one without falling into recency bias. I can't settle with one, but I do know this: Dan Severn was involved in two of the worst fights in MMA, each happening in the two biggest orgs ever, UFC and Pride. That's a terrible feather to have in your cap, but it is interesting.

His fight with Kimo was so bad he got blacklisted from Pride. And while 15 and 25 minutes of nothingness is awful, his rematch with Ken was more than half-an-hour of dogshit. It's unbeatable by that metric.
