4. Fedor Emelianenko v Zuluzinho
Generally when a fight ends via a submission due to strikes in just 26 seconds, a mismatch has occurred.
The fight between Fedor and Zuluzinho was booked for Pride FC Shockwave: 2005, with Fedor fresh off his epic victory over Cro Crop at Pride Final Conflict. Zuluzinho was coming into the fight undefeated in Brazil’s Vale Tudo circuit at the time as well, so it is not as though Pride knew it would be as big of a mismatch as it was.
Still though, the first time Zuluzinho got hit he realized he wanted nothing to do with the fight, and he eventually tapped out before the first 30 seconds ran off the clock.
