Sometimes it's really hard to call an outright winner of a MMA fight if it goes the distance. This is especially true when the fighters are very evenly matched and the fight tempo goes back and forth with no real domineering presence. Of course, a fight with only two 5 minute rounds doesn't help either. But what are some of the worst NHB decision winners from prior fights?
I'd say:
a. Dan Henderson over Alan Goes
b. Dan Henderson over Carlos Newton
c. Chuck Liddell over Pele. Pele knocked Lidell down to the canvas at least twice with head kicks.
d. Dave Menne over Pele. Pele was proactive and turned Menne's face into mince meat. Menne could only continually defend from Pele's attacks and never really mounted any type of effective offense.
e. Bas Rutten over Kevin Randleman. Yes, I agree the fight showed Bas has 'Heart'. But Randleman just about completely crushed Bas. Bas got a broken nose and said later he almost quit when the doc was checking him out. I'd say another few minutes and the doc would have stopped it to save Bas from needing facial surgery.
I haven't seen the Pedro Rizzo vs Mark Coleman fight yet, so I won't comment.
Also, Randleman was lucky there were rounds in his fight w/ Pete Williams. Kevin needed about 30 seconds to get up after the end of round one. Pete was fully mounted on Kevin and raining down head punches. One of Kevin's arms was trapped under Pete's leg, so he was defenseless. Another 3-5 seconds and it would have been Pete over Kevin by a big K.O.
What's your thought's?
