The 10 Least Popular MMA Practitioners

5. Michael Bisping

Michael Bisping is the fighter that did not earn the attention he got. He did fight a good fight against Rashad, but being competitive will not win the fight. I have heard that he says he thought he lost two of the three rounds against Hamill, but then I remember him saying before the Rashad fight that he has never been beaten. 

I also remember his tantrum that he was starting to throw when the crowd started booing him after the heist took place against Matt Hamill.

4. Chuck Liddell

I was the biggest Chuck Liddell fan...all the way up to the Tito Ortiz fight. On the UFC special to draw interest for the fight Tito told about how Chuck was his good friend, and stayed at his house. Chuck should have gotten his own room, because the fact that he stayed on the couch, ate Tito's food, and was treated like a member of his family did not mean that they were friends in Chuck's mind. Then with his book bragging about how big of a stud he was; like a high schooler that had to brag himself up to his buddies.  His cockiness, and push by Dana to be the face of MMA is just too much.  

3. Ken Shamrock

Ken is a highly intelligent completely evolved fighter. No not really...the first time I heard this guy talk I was like, "what an idiot." I remember renting the first UFC video over and over again just to watch him get tapped out by Royce Gracie.

The only reason Ken was ever a force is that he was one of the first well rounded fighters. Any of the fighters now would have destroyed him back then. I don't think that Ken is really too old to be fighting.  He is still in great shape, but he never really was that good to begin with going by today's standard.

2. Tim Sylvia

Tim is a big goon. He just comes across as one of those guys that would beat up on everyone smaller than him in school. He has become a joke lately, and it is sad that the UFC has to be disgraced with him being the heavyweight champion at one point.

1. Matt Hughes

I was very happy to see Matt Hughes on so many people's hated list. I have always thought Matt was a jerk, and I am glad to see that everyone else sees that too.  Whether he is making racial comments to other fighters, or showing off his autograph on white supremacist clothing Matt Hughes is always finding a way to piss everyone off.
