#4 Worst: The slug-fest that never was

If there was one fight that was not taken well by anyone who saw it on the car, it was the second fight of the main card of UFC Fight Night 164 — Antonio Arroyo vs Andre Muniz.

The fight saw a pause in the very first round as Muniz seemed to land a knee on Antonio Arroyo when his opponent was on the ground. It looked like he might lose a point, but the replay showed that when the knee made contact, Arroyo was not completely on the ground and had his knee off the canvas.

Arroyo was the one to end that round strong with a few shots that saw Muniz rocked and it looked like he would have won had the fight continued for a few more seconds.

However, when the fight resumed it looked like both fighters were far timider and seemed to be completely different from what they had been. It did not take long before the crowd was at their full volume booing them both as they 'fought' to a decision.
