Another rare weekend without a UFC event means another rare chance to revisit the dusty corners of MMA history. This week we’re looking at three former Pride stars who, among their successes in the UFC, had some pretty miserable performances as well. Whether it was the lack of a ring to corner people in, a lack of motivation after a hard loss, or just the ever-present ravages of age and time, not every fight can go down as a thriller.
To that end we opened this week’s show with Shogun Rua’s recent draw against Paul Craig. Followed that up with Rampage Jackson’s loss to Ryan Bader.
