I was just watching a top five Anderson KOs and it got me thinking about some of the worst game plans that fighters have admitted to have used during fights. The two most salient to me are these:
Anderson Silva vs. Rich Franklin 1.
Franklin went on record to say that part of his game plan was to get Anderson to get him into the thai plum clinch because he thought he'd be able to capitalize from there. He went on to getting kneed in the face immediately which lead to the end of the fight.

Dominick Cruz vs. TJ Dillishaw
After the fight TJ's coach Duane Ludwig came out and said that part of the game plan was to swing at air to set up other shots. This seems ridiculous looking back as Cruz's best shots and takedowns came off of TJ swinging at air and leaving himself prone to a suddenly charging Cruz.

What are some other crazy game plans that fighters have mentioned after their fights? Are there any times where they turned out to be successful?
