Most disappointing fight of the year so far?

Fights that didn't live up to expectations.

Hardy vs Rumble and Kid vs Mighty Mouse come to mind.

Machida vs Rampage for sure. I thought someone would get ktfo.

Forrest v Rich. It wasn't a bad fight, it just had so much potential.

Bisping vs Riveria... ended by an illegal knee pretty much.

&

Faber vs Wineland... one of the most entertaining fighters ever vs a guy who throws and just dropped some dude on his head but ended up mainly being a clinchfest.

Fitch and Penn for me because I actually thought BJ won lol. Just kidding but seriously most dissapointing to me was probably Vitor Belfort vs Spider Silva. I was happy with the result but the fight ended so soon I thought for sure we would see a war.

Page/machida was last year but yeah, page made that fight disapointing imo. The faber fight wasnt necessarily a let down, its just that wineland did better than he was expected to by many (not me). To be honest it the things outside the fights that disappoint me. The new york thing, the hw tourny being delayed,fighters like page,guillard,condit and others turning down fights, mike browns life/career, bad scoring like the diego fight,etc.

We all know how machida fights. Thats his style, boring or not his goal is not to get hit. We also know why rampage won. He won the fight by clinching with machida and holding him against the fence without doing any real damage for 2 rounds. I mean come on, even tito put on a more exciting fight against machida. Sure he got beat for 3 rounds but he always came foward . Many like tito have payed the price for this but at least they put on an exciting fight. Of course page fought a smart fight and didnt just stand there waiting to be hit(until the 3rd) but him playing it safe by just clinching to win was no different than what we saw on tuf on wednesday wer the winner did no real damage. If anything machida showed what would of happened in the 3rd had page stood toe to toe right in front of him from th first instead of being unsuccessfull in the countering game And then moving on to being unsuccessfull in the clinch. Ok page was successfull in the clinch for he won the fight based on that.

Mate not all of us have seen TUF yet. They don't air it live in Australia so in the future please put a spoiler warning.

My bad, good episode though

Mighty Mouse vs Kid had some people, including me, possible FOTY canidate. Fight was far from it.

Toerres vs Banuelos was a big let down. and a lot of those mentioned.
