UFC on Versus 5 just wrapped up, and it gave MMA fans the final fight of Chris Lytle’s career when he submitted Dan Hardy in the main event.

Both earned a “fight of the night bonus” for their efforts. Lytle was also awarded the “submission of the night” award for his third round guillotine choke that ended a fan-friendly fight.

Former WEC Lightweight Champion Ben Henderson made his second appearance in the UFC and surprised the most when he won a dominant decision over Jim Miller, who came into the fight on a seven-fight win streak.

Other fighters to win on the main card include Donald Cerrone and Duane Ludwig.

These are the real winners and losers. All have won or lost something extra than just the official result.

Lytle vs Hardy Preview and the 15 Most Impressive Finishes in the UFC of 2011

Sunday night in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Dan Hardy and Chris Lytle will square of in a welterweight match up that has fight of the year written all over it. Both men always leave it all inside the octagon. Both men are coming off of a loss, and need to re…

Chris Lytle is an extremely well-rounded fighter. He is a former high school wrestler, pro boxer and is also a second degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. His MMA record is 30-18-5, he lost 16 of the 18 fights by decision and the other two losses were due to doctor stoppages. Lytle is as tough as they come. As a pro boxer he compiled a 13-1-1 and was an Indiana state champion, defending his belt two times. At almost 37 years old, his career is coming to a close, but he is in arguably the best shape of his life.

Lytle is the type of fighter that lays it on you. He is extremely active throughout the whole fight. He likes to stand and trade, but when the time is right he isn’t afraid to take you down and submit you. In his bout with Hardy, the smart thing would be to take the fight to the ground, where Hardy lacks experience but will never give up.

Dan Hardy is one of the most well liked fighters in the UFC. He is all about his fans, and always shows up to put on an exciting show. He is primarily a striker, but has recently started training with Roy Nelson to improve his ground game. He has lost three fights in a row, if he loses this there is a high chance he will be cut unless the UFC wants to save him for a card overseas, due to his popularity.

Hardy needs to keep his distance and play this fight smart. He needs to cut off Lytle and counter his punches. He also needs to maintain octagon control. If he doesn’t then it maybe a long night for him, because Lytle will be able to score take down after take down.

These two men are a great match up for each other, and with eight post fight bonuses under his belt this fight sets Lytle up for a ninth. This fight will be at a fast pace, most likely with Lytle getting the better of Hardy in the take down department. This fight will be back and fourth, but Lytle should catch him in the second round with an impressive submission, and possibly taking submission of the night honors.

This truly should be an impressive fight, now let’s take a look at the ten most impressive finishes in the UFC so far in 2011.

UFC on Versus 5 is set to take place Sunday, August 14th, 2011 at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The card is headlined by a duel between strikers Dan “The Outlaw” Hardy and Chris “Lights Out” Lytle. The co-main event is Jim Miller vs. Ben Henderson.

Ironically, the co-main event is actually more important to its respective division (lightweight) than the main event is to its division (welterweight). That is to say, the two fighters have more to gain, specifically Miller.

There are other fighters who have a lot more to gain than others. Who are they? Read and find out, but keep in mind that obviously every fighter has something to gain by winning, but some have more to gain than just a win bonus or keeping their job.

Don’t expect to see all 24 fighters on the card here.

Let me start off by saying that I have the utmost respect for every fighter to compete in combat sports such as boxing, MMA, kickboxing and many others.

These sports require an unfathomable amount of discipline and technique, and those that compete in such sports deserve respect for putting their health at risk, every time they compete.

MMA is a fairly young sport, and in the short time it has been around, we the fans have seen many different types of performances. We have seen fighters who have entertained, excited, bored and even disgusted the fans with their performances.

We have also seen fighters put out performances that are just pathetic.

The fighters that appear on this list are here for various reasons. Some are here for being dirty fighters or for getting humiliated for not even fighting in a dignified manner, and many more reasons.

Their performances are not what one would expect to see when watching an MMA fight and are deemed pathetic by the unforgiving, MMA community.

So without further ado, these are the 20 Most Pathetic Performances in MMA History.
