    Probably an amateur or someone making their pro debut.

    Since you're just talking MMA and not a specific higher organization within MMA.

    Brock. I know that will offend some people, but his stand-up really is horrible.

    sean sherks is horrible. with his short arms and although he tries very hard it always ends up looking like hes trying NOT to hit his opponent. like its a choreographed fight scene or something.

    It's not flash. But he's a two time All-American wrestler not an ex boxer or mua thai guy.

    I think functional is the best way to describe Jake on the feet, maybe on the ground aswell

    I would've said Jake Shields before the GSP fight, but he was better than I thought he was capable of in that fight. Still not great, nor even very good, but far from the worst out there.
