10 Weirdest UFC Fighting Styles

2. Joe Son Do

This one barely makes the list for its absolute lack of... well… anything.

Let me explain.

Joe Son Do was founded by a guy called Joe Son. Go figure.

The man would literally spout biblical quotes as fellow fighter Kimo Leopoldo's manager, and carried a cross on his back to enter the arena at UFC 4. He would take a few groin shots that night for his troubles.

Son was billed as a black belt in Taekwondo yet couldn't seal that all important win in the Octagon, going 0-4 before retiring.

Because his fights never lasted long enough to be properly analysed, it's hard to say what exactly Joe Son Do was - except from being the definitive art of its creator.

Son actually had a fairly decent acting career post MMA, appearing as Random Task in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. He would then go on to be convicted for rape and torture, and is now serving a 27-year sentence for killing his cellmate.

The guy sounds like a vile and toxic human being who deserves to live as long as his fighting style did in the memory.
