Here at Tapology, we like to give fighters the respect they deserve (most of the time) and celebrate the goodness that is MMA (...most of the time). This is not one of those times. This is a time where we look at some MMA matches that made us wince and question that if God existed, why does he subject us to this madness.

This list is from Cracked.com, a website dedicated to humours but insightful articles. The writer is also quite infamous as he is Seanbaby, who use to own a website that looked at awful games. Turns out he's also quite the MMA fan:

http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-10-worst-mma-fights-of-all-time/


The fights in question are:

Anderson Silva vs. Thales Leites - UFC 97
Paulo Filho vs. Chael Sonnen - WEC 36
Harold Howard vs. Royce Gracie - UFC 3
Sakuraba vs. Gilles Arsene - Pride 23
Takada vs. Mike Bernardo - Inoki Bom-Ba-Ye
Heath Herring vs Yoshihiro Nakao - K-1 Dynamite!!! 2005
Anderson Silva vs. Demian Maia - UFC 112
Ken Shamrock vs. Royce Gracie II - UFC 5: Return of the Beast
Ken Shamrock vs. Dan Severn II - UFC 9: Motor City Madness
Muhammad Ali vs. Antonio Inoki - June 26, 1976

Enjoy ^_^ Some of you may have read this already....But it still funny no matter how many times you read it :D

Kimbo/Alexander needs to be on there!

I actually enjoyed Herring/Nakao...

Pretty good list overall those are all terrible fights by You could easily expand that list with Kimo vs Severn, Renzo vs Kikuta, and Royler vs Sano to name just a few more.

I've never had a problem with Fitch. A win is a win.

@Bigj383.  The full statement should be "HATERS GONNA HATE, FITCH IS GONNA FITCH *****!!!!" (WAR FITCH)

Worst fight recently: Overeem vs Werdum: Strikeforce
