By now I’m sure it seems like I have an anti-UFC bias, but I swear it’s not the case.  

It just so happens that all the positive UFC articles keep getting written, and nobody wants to read the same thing several times over.

One of the great things about the UFC is that they rarely have mismatches.  This doesn’t mean that it doesn’t happen, but that it happens rarely.

And yet it does happen.  No matter how much Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg try to spin it, some fights are just plain awful and don’t seem competitive from the first time they’re mentioned to the final bell.

The reason for some of these is because some of the fighters in them are old and worn out.  Anything that might have remained of the glory is faded, and the fighter is badly injured.

Yet somehow the UFC and Joe Silva find these fighters and convince them to step in the cage for us to watch.

Let’s take a look at some of the worst uses of veteran fighters.
