MMAFrenzy Tournament of Upsets Champion

We started with 32 of the biggest upsets in MMA history and now we are down to one. The final round saw the largest amount of votes in the tournament with nearly 700 voters to decide whether Matt Serra's UFC 69 upset over Georges St-Pierre was bigger than Fabricio Werdum's upset in Strikeforce over Fedor Emelianenko. Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately depending on your view, we will crown our champion without having to see whichever travesty of a suit Craig Sager is donning or be subjected to a horribly outdated victory song. So which upset did you guys choose?

Video: Steven Seagal talks about his students, Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida

What would MMA do without Steven Seagal? Obviously, Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida would not be the fighters they are without the sensei/movie star/border patrol agent/shooting-glasses-wearer/writer/director. Seagal talked about how important he is to MMA on "Jimmy Kimmel Live." Skip to a minute in to hear him talk about the skills he imparts to his students.

He will probably be an eighth-degree black belt one day, but come on. He can't teach Silva and Machida everything he knows.

BAMMA brings us the most terrifying MMA poster ever

BAMMA, a British-based promotion, is putting on its ninth show this weekend. The fight card is topped off by veteran Tom Watson taking on Jack Marshawn, an--WHY IS A CLOWN STARING AT ME?

Colin Fletcher is a lightweight submission specialist with a 7-1 record and a tendency to frighten people and eat their souls. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to attempt to wipe him from my nightmares.

You tell us: Should fighter have thrown punch when opponent was trying to touch gloves?

At Cage Warriors in Dubai over the weekend, Sheila Gaff knocked out Jennifer Maia in 10 seconds. The catch? Gaff started swinging when Maia had her hand outstretched to touch gloves. Watch it here:

The first rule of MMA is protect yourself at all times. What Gaff did was not outside the bounds of the rules. Even when Maia had her hand extended, she should have been ready to block any strikes that Gaff sent her way.

But did Gaff show poor sportsmanship? You tell us your opinion in the comments, on Facebook or on Twitter.
