10 Ridiculously Successful UFC Stars With Boring Fight Styles

8. Jake Shields

If that doesn't say all you need to know about Jake Shields then just watch a few of his fights. Shields has made a career out of pressing his body against his opponent and grinding against them on the mat to the point that it's surprising he hasn't gotten one of them pregnant yet. His 8 fight run in the UFC only saw one stoppage, and that was against him rather than by him. He earned his seat at the table through a succession of wins spanning 14 straight wins all the way back to 2005, and to be fair, there were some submissions sprinkled in throughout that streak. But the combination of his cottonball fists and his dry humping have placed him securely on this list.
