There are a multitude of fighters under the UFC banner. Some are exciting fighters who push the pace and always fight a fan friendly fight. Names like Joe Lauzon, Donald Cerrone, Anderson Silva and more are known for going into fights with the kill or be killed mentality.
But sadly this article is not about any of those exciting fighters; it’s about their polar opposites, the grinders, the boring fighters.
In the following slides I give you my personal picks for the Top Five Most Boring Fighters in the UFC today.
If I forgot any please give me a shout in the comments.

It’s one of the worst problems the UFC has at this point in time.
It has many names. Theft, robbery, incompetence, but one name stands above the rest. Controversy.
The UFC is not perfect. It has many areas where it’s great in, but one very bad area that sticks out like a sore thumb. That’s the judging.
UFC judging has always been a problem. Two fighters go a full 15 or 25 minutes and the fans think there is a clear winner at the end based on what they just saw.
But then it happens. The judges saw something totally different that is sometimes justified, but most of the time it isn’t even close.
In honour of the recent Frankie Edgar and Ben Henderson 2 title fight, I will count down some controversial UFC decisions in recent memory. Enjoy!

Anderson Silva is the most dominant champion in UFC history.
He has defeated everyone the UFC has matched up against him. Names like Chris Leben, Rich Franklin, Chael Sonnen, Vitor Belfort, Yushin Okami and more. The champ has seemingly done it all.
New challengers are always waiting for the champion, calling him out and moving themselves up the ladder in hopes of somehow securing a title shot against him.
Since Silva defeated his rival Chael Sonnen at UFC 148, many fighters are attempting to stake their place in line to fight him next.
In the following slides, I give you my personal picks (in no particular order) for fighters who have the potential to be fighting Silva next.

From old greats such as Carlos Newton to current stars like Georges St. Pierre and Rory MacDonald, in the coming slides I give you my picks for the top 5 Canadian Fighters in the UFC today.

There are many up and coming fighters in the UFC. They are rising prospects with explosive skills. One such prospect is undefeated 10-0 UFC featherweight Jimy “The Kid” Hettes.
Don’t be fooled by him only having two UFC fights under his belt. He also has eight prior bouts outside of the UFC.
His record is incredibly impressive. Before making it to the UFC he held a record of 8-0 with all eight of those being submission wins. And not just one submission but multiple one’s including rear-naked chokes, triangle chokes, guillotine chokes, armbars, and a heel hook.
Next, Hettes made the jump to the UFC and was given The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 12 alum Alex Caceres. Hettes used his excellent Judo and put his submission skills on display as he tapped out Caceres.
He was next given Nam Phan another TUF 12 alum at UFC 141. In what is so far the only decision win of his career he dominated Phan for three complete rounds to score the win.
Hettes has something rarely seen in MMA that I believe allows him to win his fights. He has a great and rare blend of Judo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu that allows him to control his opponents while standing, set up a hip toss, and once on the mat to go for the submission.
He also has very underrated striking. Combine all his skills with some hard work and Hettes could make some serious noise in the division. He’s a rising prospect with a very high ceiling. His next fight takes him to Toronto for UFC 152 to take on yet another TUF alum in the 5-1 Marcus Brimage.
If everything goes well I see Hettes pulling off his third straight victory inside the Octagon. He’s a rising prospect that every fan needs to keep on their radar.

I am extremely excited for the next UFC card. UFC on Fox 4 features many marquee matchups that should please all fans.
I’m going to focus on the co-main event of this card, which features former light-heayweight champion Lyoto Machida against the rising Ryan Bader.
This fight should produce fireworks, as both competitors are excellent fighters who bring many skills to the table.
With that, let’s take a closer look at the matchup between these two men.
