MMA's 10 Biggest "C'mon Man" Moments of 2011
It's likely we've all heard of the "C'mon Man!" segment of Monday Night Countdown with Chris "Boomer" Berman and the ESPN crew.
And well, if you haven't, it's a must-see.
When an individual becomes a victim of a mistake or a boneheaded action, one of our first reactions is to state, "c'mon, man!"
As we know, every sport has its fair share of mess-ups where specific athletes are on the receiving end of an embarrassing mistake or something occurs that they wish could be erased.
The world of MMA is no different, as 2011 was home to some of the biggest "C'mon Man!" moments of all time. With that in mind, the following slides display the 10 biggest of 2011.
10. Nate Diaz Follows in His Brother's Footsteps
1 of 10In anticipation and hype leading up his to co-main event bout at UFC 141, Nate Diaz met Donald "The Cowboy" Cerrone at the pre-fight press conference.
Instead of a friendly stare-down, Diaz decided to make it personal by knocking Cerrone's cowboy hat right off his head.
Nate Diaz, C'mon Man!
9. Mayhem Miller Gets a Bully Beatdown
2 of 10Leading up to his showdown with Michael Bisping at the Ultimate Fighter Season 14 Finale, Jason "Mayhem" Miller had a million and one things to say.
However, Miller couldn't back up his talk, as he was a victim to one of the worst one-sided beat downs of 2011.
Mayhem Miller, C'mon Man!
8. Brock Lesnar Gets Beat and Retires
3 of 10Even before entering his highly anticipated bout with Alistair Overeem, Brock Lesnar had his mind made up.
A loss would be the last fight of his MMA career, ultimately meaning his retirement.
And, a little over two minutes after the opening bell rang, Lesnar had officially retired as he got knocked out by Overeem.
After being off for more than a year, Lesnar returned to the Octagon only to call it quits once and for all.

7. Jonathan Goulet Gets Knocked out in 6 Seconds
4 of 10While Jonathan Goulet was knocked out by Duane Ludwig in 2006 at UFC Fight Night 3, it wasn't until this year where UFC President Dana White took a closer look at it.
White came to the conclusion that Ludwig's knockout was the fastest in UFC history at 6.06 seconds.
Jonathan Goulet, C'mon Man!
6. Mark Hominick Gets Zombied
5 of 10Mark Hominick was the clear-cut favorite heading into his bout with Chan Sung Jung at UFC 140.
Unfortunately for Hominick, it only seven seconds for him to get a real taste of the Korean Zombie as he was knocked out cold.
Mark Hominick, C'mon Man!
5. Nick Diaz No-Shows Press Conferences
6 of 10Leading up to the biggest bout of his life at UFC 137 against Georges St-Pierre for the welterweight championship, Nick Diaz was nowhere to be found.
Diaz would skip not only his press conference in Las Vegas but the following one in Canada to promote his upcoming fight.
Diaz was later removed from the championship bout.
Not surprised, but Nick Diaz, C'mon Man!
4. Jon Fitch Drops in 12 Seconds
7 of 10Jon Fitch wanted a welterweight title shot and he wanted it bad.
Fitch may have wanted his shot at gold so badly that he forgot he had to get through Johny Hendricks first.
But, that never happened, as Fitch was knocked senseless in a whopping 12 seconds.
Jon Fitch, C'mon Man!
3. Chris Leben Suspended for One Year
8 of 10Chris Leben has always been recognized as an over-the-top type of individual and fighter.
But, Leben took it a little too far when he was suspended by the UFC for a full year for a failed drug test following his bout at UFC 138.
Chris Leben, C'mon Man!
1. Rashad Evans Pulls Jerry Sandusky Joke
10 of 10By now, we're all well aware of the scandal that unfolded earlier this year involving Jerry Sandusky and Penn State University.
In a press conference leading up to his future bout with Phil Davis at UFC on FOX II, Rashad Evans went out of line to address Davis' alma mater.
Evans stated, "Cause I'm going to put those hands on you worse than that dude did them other kids at Penn State."
