I went for Tito, his style puts me to sleep!
I actually enjoy watching big Tim fight, but only because he makes a good target!

Did you ever think Arona has this way of fighting, cause he only fights the best of the best. I would not call him boring,
Boring is Tito and Sherk. I dont like Sylvia, but how can he be the most boring. Their are a lot of fights, involving him that get played over and over. Who the hell is gonna watch a Sherk fight again, and Tito for all that talk and hype, is a boring ass fighter. I think Josh Barnett is damn boring.

Sherk by far. He's strong and can hold people there for 5 rounds, you'd think he'd be able to pull some sort of gnp tko, but nope he can't.

Wow, that poll is horrible. I actually have no problem with most of those fighters. I would say most idiots who don't understand MMA would say Sherk because of his ground game, but he moves and is always actively trying to get body position. Sylvia was horribly boring against Assuerio, but who hasn't been boring against Assuerio. Rashad Evans should be up there, but honestly, nobody up there has had a lengthy amount of boring fights that I can think of.
I chose this list from fighters that are known for not finishing their fights. All the fighters up there I have seen getting trashed over the internet as boring. The purpose of this poll is to start a discussion about the fighters and whether they are boring or not.
As far as claiming that I don't know about wrestling as part of the ground game is funny. I assure you I understand it very well. Yes Sherk works to achieve top position and then to pass guard, but that ain't gonna finish a fight on it's own. Neither will rubbing your elbows on your opponents face, except by cut. I guess I just don't see those kind of tactics as exciting in mma.

Agreed. he is th eking of the take down and LNP IMO. On the list Machida is the only one who would remotely make this type of list, and that's only if he fights another guy with a similar style. put him in there against someone who's coming forward, and you've got a good fight

I love watching Sherk fight. Dude is always moving. 34% of his fights end in decisions. He is 32-2-1. He has 8(T)KO's. With 13 subs and 11 decisions.
Tito is 15-5-1. with 33% of his fights ending in decisions. He has 8(T)KO's. with 2 subs and 5 decisions.
Arona goes to a decision 61% of the time. He has 2 (T)KO's with 3 subs and 8 decisions.
Josh is 9-1. 44% of his fights go to a decision. He has 1 (T)KO. With 4 subs and 4 decisions.
People voting for Big Tim just blow me away. Only 21% of his fights go to a decision. He has 16 (T)KO's and 2 subs. 5 of his fights have gone to a decison. He finishes almost 80% of his fights and people call him boring 
He last fight 3 fights weren't the best, but come on. Dude finishes almost 80% of his fights. Who is better at finishing????

Kos i think.......lay and pray thats all he does, an dont even get me started on the diego fight. sherk style is a little boring also but unlike kos he is very active on the ground constantly improving positions. tim's last couple of fights have been a little boring, blame it on the belt. to scared to lose. now that he is in the hunt again expect him to be very dangerous.

Yeah, McKee would've been there if I had more space in the pole, Lindlund too. And Pedro Rizzo.
As far as putting someone in against Machida thats coming forward, true. Putting someone in against anyone thats always coming forward is going to lively up the fight for sure.

Tim Slyvia, has some exciting matches, Him vs. Andrei never failed, Frank Mir/Tim Slyvia match was exciting (the whole 49 seconds) he has lack luster fights occasionally, but some fighters do.
If you sit there and say Sherk is boring, your stupid plain and put. Sure he does not flash his submission, ground and pound, stand up skills like he should, but thats not what the guys strength is, same with Koscheck, these men are phenominal at WRESTLING, and holding men down. That is not boring, to see someones strength. Watching Sherk Manhandle Hermes was phenominal, it was a beautfiul act of wrestling at its finest and people calling that a boring fight is completely ridiculous.
I agree Evans should be up there, he has only won one exciting fight against Jason Lambert.
But calling Sherk boring, is ridiculous.
