How Could I Forget About Shonie Carter?!?!

True "Die-Hard" MMA fans all over are probably calling me out for forgetting Shonie Carter in my previous post about the WORST SHORTS in MMA history. For those of you who did not immediately summon up a mental picture of Shonie on TUF painting a portrait while wearing a bedazzled hat & speedo.....I will explain.


Shonie is ...well..an individual. During his stint on The Ultimate Fighter 4: The Comeback the veteran MMA fighter and self-proclaimed inventor of the "Spinning Backfist" built a reputation for questionable fashion sense and lack of modesty.

Let's talk about SHORTS girls!!!!!

After each event I enjoy giving the guys a little feedback on their selection of apparel (not that they care) and overall image. Sometimes its good...sometimes its well...let's call it "constructive" criticism. 

So in preparation for tonight's event, I thought we could review a few of the WORST shorts in UFC history...

Ok..let's start at the beginning...checkout Ken Shamrock's camel toe!
In his many years of MMA, Ken has amassed a huge collection of  Speedo Shorts

I think these pics are actually from his WWE days but they still count!
Alright ladies....I know that many of you will disagree with this one. GSP (in the red) is known for his tiny and extremely tight shorts. As he fights...they crawl up & settle into crevices and well...It gives me the creeps! TMI!

These shorts are one of his BIGGEST pairs. I fully expect him to come out in a thong one day!
Maurico "Shogun" Rua...giggle & blush...is soooooo dreamy, but I wish he would wear some board shorts every once in a while! I guess being a former Brazillian Model gives him the confidence to "Rock out" with his....nevermind..you get the picture.

This is not the best pic of the creamy caramel colored hottie!
Rich...Rich...Rich! I like pink too but that is the wrong shade for your skin-tone buddy! ;o)
Rich Franklin has since changed to a darker pink that compliments his coloring better. I'm a girl...if you don't get this post than you are probably not a female and have definitely not had your colors done at the mall!!!! ;o)

Further proof that Rich is secure in his manhood.
WOW! I think this pic of Josh Barnett should be sold in one of those magazines behind the counter and sealed in plastic.

He looks like a giant flat-chested woman with a crew cut.
OK...I'll admit it...it isn't the shorts on this one. At least Roy Nelson isn't sporting the trademark mullet.
Ewwww yuck!
Please...please...please forgive me Forrest.
You know that I love you and am your number one fan (but not in a stalker kinda weirdo way...well I do have your full size cutout pic next to my desk at work...anyway...let's move on) but I have to include you in this list. That pale beige color is horrible. They look like they haven't been washed!
I love you...wear whatever you want!!!!
Once again I am forcing myself to put a fighter that I truly love on the list. Mirko Cro-Cop is a MMA icon. Even though his Croatian flag patterned shorts make him instantly recognizable...they are still ugly. Sorry Mirko. Don't stop wearing them! 

These shorts look like giraffe print at first glance.

These shorts should hang in the UFC Hall of Fame! (And yes...I am purposefully not commenting on the other dude's hair...that will be addressed in another post)

Alright Ladies...UFC 122 is tonight...and it is FREE!

Whoop..Whoop! It really takes so little to excite me. This card isn't exactly star-studded but I think the fights will definitely be worth the price...especially the Main Event - Marquardt v. Okami
