Dolomite5698 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 There's a lot of fighters who've fought who have had horrible technique...but who's had the worst in modern UFC? Excluding the first few events when guys like Harold Howard were fighting lol. Tank Abbott comes to mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolomite5698 Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Yes, that's a good one! Especially considering his size. On the UFC video game he can throw a pretty good spinning back kick though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epilogue1406051983 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Jardine is such an oddity because his technique was so bad, it worked for a time because a lot of fighters weren't fighting opponents that "unorthodox" Have to say that the worst technique in MMA (not UFC) has to be Bob Sapp... the way he paws rather than punches, how he can get worked by guys half his size if he ends up on his back... there really is no comparing...

zaksame Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Haha Harold Howard,you must be Canadian to know that. Pretty tough to top Tank for the least skilled fighter ever in the UFC,however perhaps there is a worse fighter....Emmanuel Yarborough.,a giant thug that could barely move in the ring,Tank could at least strike with power,Manny couldn't do anything but plod around the ring and take shots.

Garcia has no excuse to me because he's a 145'er...lighter guys should naturally have better technique. Beltran...eh, he just flat out has no technique.

Sephiroth388 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I'm a fan of his, but Matt Mitrione once said in an interview to watch what he does, then do the opposite. He gets away with it because he has a good chin and brutal power, but chin up hands down is not a good technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
