Top 10 worst UFC main events of all time (on paper)

A title fight, yes, but it has to be seen in its context.

UFC created a whole TUF season where they handpicked flyweight champions for a number of smaller organizations just to find a new fresh challenge for champion Demetrious Johnson, who was on his way to clear out the entire division.

However, of all 16 competitors, the season’s winner who eventually got to face Johnson was the least exciting option of them all –  Tim Elliott. Recently cut from the UFC, Elliott just wasn’t that new fresh opponent that ”Mighty Mouse” needed and promotion had hoped for. Instead, we were left with a weird matchup that made no sense on paper. The whole koncept turned out to be an epic fail, even though Elliott actually surprised fans with an early submission attempt on fight night.
