Your favorite unpopular fights

[Shael]

Is this an unpopular fight? I mean, I realize the typical fan is all about the KOs, but this fight was still pretty damn good, no?

There was plenty of whining on this site.

There was plenty of whining on this site.

Sad.

Alot of Jake Shields fights are good, his fight with Ed Herman I thought was a good grappling fight.

Then again this card did have Hendo vs DC... Name value and draw wise, that match alone is light years beyond Rory/Tyron.. I think that is why the card got close to what it did. 174 isn't going to be so hot I think

I enjoy Condit/Diaz every time I watch it. Despite what nuthuggers say Condit picked Diaz apart for the better part of 25 minutes. Didn't understand the controversy, thought Carlos clearly won. I understand everyone thought that this was just going to be a barn burner (so did I), but I respected and enjoyed watching Carlos employ his gameplan.

Good call!

Only blind nuthuggers thought it was controversial. Great fight.

Silva vs. Maia is great. I liked watching Silva clown; and it had a nice story in the last round. The Sonnen fight wouldn't mean as much without it.

I am definitely on nick diaz nuts...

But, how you can respect the performance of a guy who lands a record number of leg kicks without affecting his opponents mobility is beyond me.

I actually like that fight too but for a different reason. It turned one of the greatest fighters in WW history (the natural born killer) into the natural born runner.

I want to see that rematch so bad because carlos would actually go for it this time due to the tremendous backlash he got from the fans for that performance

-edit- Nevermind, misread.

Brandao-Pineda. That shit was crazy. They both gassed the fuck out but the 1st two rounds were great.

 

[ravifreitas]

Machida x Henderson and Maia x Fitch. Both fights were pretty fun.

Wes Sims vs Kimo Leopoldo.

I always laugh when Kimo is in Wes's guard, holding him close (Sims I mean) and Kimo starts arguing with the drunk guy in the audience who screams to "ELBOW HIM!!! ELBOW HIM!!!"
"We can't elbow"!
"WHAT??? ELBOW HIM!!!"
"IT'S AGAINST THE RULES WE CAN'T ELBOW!!!
"WHAT??"

While bleeding so much from the nose that Wes bleached hair were completely red, and he looked puzzled as hell as to why Kimo was screaming next to him. After the fight he was saying that he thought Kimo had gone mad and was telling him to stop elbowing him.

Funniest Sims fight ever, and he got his share of funny fights.
