Was Muñoz/ Leben the worst fight ever? I don't mean because either fighter was not performing, these guys are actually both very good fighters and very entertaining, i mean because of how it ended.

I was more disappointed with leben's cardio than the way it ended.  Was he really prepared for a 5 round fight?  Not a chance.

First of all, it will be nice when this week is over and we don't have to see that thing any more!!

Plenty of fights have ended this way in the past, so no, this wasn't the worst fight ever - even by the custom definition you are using.

I thought the fight was awesome. Both guys were going at it, there were some good grappling and wrestling sequences, and we got to see the amazing ground and pound power of Munoz on display.

Leben couldn't see and he made the right decision to stop the fight. He's a real person and there's no need for him to have gotten KTFO'd due to not being able to see it coming towards him.

Nope, the worst fight ever was Shamrock vs. Severn 2.  Try to watch it if you don't believe me.

I thought Leben-Munoz was pretty good while it lasted.  Maybe not for Leben, but for Munoz and the fans.

Careful Gregory, that's my new girlfriend you are talking about. I guess that one fight between randy and vitor was worse. At least we got a proper rematch with that one. I was just crestfallen over this one

Worst fight ever because Leben's vision got messed up?  Kinda harsh.

Personally since I've been a hardcore MMA fan the worst fight I've seen is Mir vs Cro Cop which is funny because it had a pretty good ending which is the reasoning for calling Munoz/Leben the worst fight ever.  I think I just hated the Mir/Cro Cop fight so much because I paid the $66 or whatever to watch it in HD.  When Mir finally landed that knee I was just glad the fight was over.

I don't think anything was up with Leben's cardio. Just a tough fight where Munoz absolutely blasted him to the head and the body.  He was on the verge of being finished.

Worst fight ever  ..... Belfort/Couture II. If you know the hype behind this fight and the outcome, I am pretty sure you all would agree with me.

buffalo ben seems to be asking, "what fight's outcome bothered you the most?"

In that case, Machida vs Shogun 1.

There have been worse decisions, but at the time, after Shogun's success in Pride, he hadn't really lived up to the potential most people thought he had coming into the UFC, and Machida was seen as some kind of unsolvable puzzle that would rule the division for years to come.

When Shogun came in and picked Machida apart for 5 rounds, only to get robbed of the decision, I was never so upset with the outcome of a fight. 

I've never had such a feeling of justice being served as when Shogun got the KO in the rematch.

Did I actually get a thumbs down ... Someone must not have seen Couture vs Belfort II. The outcome was complete ****.

Fight outcome that bothered me most was Anthony Johnson-Kevin Burns I.  Still can't believe Burns won by blatantly poking someone in the eye bad enough to potentially end their career.

Theres been alot of fights you could consider worst fight ever. How exciting fights are play a big factor to me. But I remember being so excited for UFC 46. Although I wanted Vitor to win, I was totally bummed by how he did it. IT obviously was an accident. But come on, the hype behind the fight was insane thinking back to it! Then 45 seconds in Belforts gets a grazing punch that cuts Coutures eyelid causing a Doctor Stoppage! I dont recall a fight in resent memory that was that much of a disappointment to me.
