If toughness is a virtue, these guys are cardinal sinners.

Actually, my expert analysis indicates that even the worst, most injury-prone pro fighter is probably about 100 times tougher than the average person. Still, some guys are just plain fragile.

These are the 10 most fragile fighters in the UFC today. What does fragile mean? Well, injury prone, mainly. But it also applies to those who appear to be particularly easy to stop inside the cage, whether that’s because of a glass jaw or weak limbs.

You have to give these guys some credit: Being a fragile UFC fighter is a little like being a doctor who’s afraid of blood, or a chef who’s allergic to salt. You almost have to be tougher if you’re more fragile, in a way. It takes a special breed. So I tip my cap to them.
