Greatest MMA Mistmatch



Fulton vs. Bullock is a good example of a fight that never should have happened. Fulton was a 200-pound brawler who had already been in dozens of fights. Bullock was a 170-pound taekwondo instructor who had no experience at all in MMA. Just 44 seconds into the bout, Fulton picked Bullock up, slammed him to the canvas, and badly hurt him.

To Fulton's credit, he realized immediately -- before the referee did -- that Bullock was hurt, and he stopped at once. He also checked on Bullock to see if he was OK, and he didn't engage in any kind of post-fight celebration. Fulton showed a lot of class.

Fortunately, although Bullock suffered a back injury, he reportedly made a full recovery and went back to teaching taekwondo. He never had another MMA fight, though.
