No. 4 - The Strikeforce: Nashville Brawl
MMA has been trying for quite some time to break into the mainstream world of sports, and it's making headway these days with the UFC on FOX. But many sports fans still feel it doesn't belong. In April 2010, CBS aired a Strikeforce event in prime-time to try to change the minds of the public, only to have it blow up in their faces when a fight broke out on live national television after the main event had ended. Why did it happen? Well, Jake Shields defeated Dan Henderson, and during his post-fight interview he was interrupted by a pink-haired Jason Miller asking to get a rematch. Testosterone and douchebaggery then took over, and a full-scale brawl broke out in the ring. CBS was embarrassed, the product Strikeforce was putting out was tainted, and the reputation of MMA as a whole was damaged.
