10 Weirdest UFC Fighting Styles

10. Pitfighting

Let's start with one of the less glamorous styles to be given a platform on the UFC stage.

David 'Tank' Abbott burst onto the scene at UFC 6 in 1995, when the man ploughed over two men in one night (!), before being pushed nearly 18 minutes by Oleg Taktarov and losing by rear-naked choke.

Three fights in one night was something of a norm back then in the UFC, so the fact that Abbott bulldozed his way to the final isn't what is worth focusing on. The noteworthy story of the night was the martial art of choice for the big no nonsense Californian native.

Pitfighting.

He opted to absolutely brawl the cr*p out of his opponents. Using his body to knock them clean off their feet, Abbott would suffocate a man with his size and relentless thumping until they had no choice but to surrender.

He would cross over this style into his pro wrestling career in WCW, yet he never caught fire as a character. You'd imagine that if he were in his prime today, Brock Lesnar could have a new dance partner.

It doesn't rank as one of the more majestic martial arts in the game, but this pitfighter got the job done and wouldn't look out of place in an underground bare knuckle competition.

I know where I'd put my money...
