Who is the most frustrating fighter to watch in your opinion?

[13Seconds]

After the Strickland/Costa fight the word "frustrating" has been circulating alot. Obviously frustration comes in alot of different angles so i'd like to dig deeper in it.

For me, i tend to get pretty frustrated when Leon is fighting. Because he's one of my favourite fighters and keeps doing low IQ moves when he's dominating the striking. He could have just put a masterclass on Colby on the feet for 5 rounds but admitted that he wanted to provea point by grappling. What kind of shit is that? He dominated Usman and Belal on the feet but kept clinching. It's an ongoing thing with this guy that he loves to clinch when he's killing dudes at range. It's weird because It's like a natural instinct for him at this point.

Thats my frustration. I hope he just decides to pick Belal off at range this time

Holly Holm, and it’s not even close.

Edit.

Her gameplan since day 1 is far too passive, imo. Especially for an umpteen time World Boxing Champ.

So frustrating to watch her only look to counter, and then in the last many fights. Looking to clinch, stall on the fence, and try to get a TD.

But overall.. No matter what she’s done for years. I’m not entertained.

I don’t mean to shit on her. But, I expected a little more.

As a Strickland fan, he can definitely be frustrating to watch at times. He's a defensive wizard overall, but could likely get more finishes if he stepped on the gas.

Gastellum, Struve, Oliveira when he used to flop, boxing stance (bald) McGregor

Elias Theodorou. RIP.

Struve is currently at the top. Can't believe i forgot about him. I guess i just had to. How can you have a Jones type of wing span and fight like Chandler every time?

Even worse, he put all his skill points into submissions, with long limbs that are bad for generating torque

Yeah like a Diaz type with actual TDD. And striking defense.

Real. In other news, who TF is the chick in your profile picture? I am doing a research study for Sherdog.

 

[Sweater of AV]

In recent years, probably Woodley just backing up to the fence and getting worked.

 

[Question]

Cody Garbrandt, but probably not as nearly as frustrating compared to what their coaches have to go through

 

[Question]

Luque in his last two fights

 

[Marko Polo]

That’s my waifu Ssunbiki

This is what I was going to say. Honestly it goes for all fighters like him. I can't stand watching guys who I know are good but play it safe and don't go for it and just have close decisions. Ben Henderson used to drive me crazy with his soft calf kicks and just trying to out point people. A lot of guys who are trying to conserve their cardio also do this. I'm convinced this is why Yoel never really took off. Yoel with actual good cardio not having to worry about picking and choosing when he explodes would have been unstoppable.

Agree with Woodley too.

Of all time, for me, atleast in the UFC it's Martin Kampmann. This guy decided to brawl with Sanchez, brawl with Daley AND wrestle with Jake shields. If it was up to him he'd probably jump guard vs maia and point fight wonderboy.

It was frustrating because the Hitman was damn good. Almost beat Shields

Sterling in his last fight, just held Kattar to the cage for 3 rounds with his face in Kattar's crotch. Boring as hell !!!
