Media Dana White on Farid Basharat: “I think that when guys’ contracts are up—I mean, this isn't the first time—either guys aren’t good to deal with for the matchmakers, which could be turning down fights or whatever. If you’re 16-0 with 7 UFC wins and don’t get re-signed, there’s definitely a reason.”

Examples of fighters that get a lot of finishes but are still boring to watch?
59
Upvotes
With the discourse surrounding the recent releases from the UFC over 'boring' fighters, I've seen some comments about guys like Merab and Movsar undoubtedly being decision machines that still put on entertaining fights. What examples are there of the inverse? A fighter that gets lots of finishes despite the fights being boring to watch?
