I did vote for the Herring fight, but upon further review, I do find that it wasn't THAT bad. It was just really overhyped because of the Internet-sensation that Herring became prior to joining the UFC. Everyone counted out O'Brien and he pulled through with the victory. It was supposed to be a one-sided fight and the heavy favorite was completely 100% silenced in the fight. I can't change my vote, but I'd probably nominate a fight that was between two big names that just didn't put together a decent fight.
I'm sure I'll get flamed for saying so, but everyone said Chuck / Wandi would most certainly not go to a decision. Hype words like "explosive" were tossed around for weeks on TV and the Internet, yet it still went to a decision. It definitely wasn't a borefest, but it wasn't what anyone expected. They went toe-to-toe and neither man could finish the fight. Almost disappointing yes, but not the worst fight I've seen either.
