Top 3 UFC main event flops
Injuries can mess up a main event and send fans home unsatisfied. Here are the top 3 mishaps in recent UFC main event history.
1. Randy Couture vs Vitor Belfort at UFC 46. These two had a much anticipated matchup fresh of Randy Couture’s ressurgence in the light heavyweight division. Coming off a win over Chuck Liddell, Couture was flying high as was Belfort who just came back to the UFC with a huge KO win over Marvin Eastman. Just seconds into the fight Belfort’s punch grazed Couture’s eyelid and the cut would not allow Couture to continue the fight due to impaired vision. Belfort became the UFC light heavyweight champ.
2. Patrick Cote vs Anderson Silva at UFC 90. This past weekend an interesting matchup was developing between these two 185ers but was cut short by Cote’s knee injury in round 3. The boo birds came out in Chicago immediately.
3. Justin Eilers vs Andrei Arlovski. This was a weak main event at UFC 53 in Atlantic City to begin with. Eilers’ ACL was blown out late in the round. But Arlovski pounced on the fallen Eilers and punched his way to a win.
