After a long and extensive process, esteemed colleague Brent Brookhouse and I are proud to bring you the 2011 Bloody Elbow Tournament of Bad, an idea from the local Chicago sports radio show, Boers and Bernstein. The concept is simple: compile a list of 64 of the worst things related to the sport of MMA and pit them against one another in an NCAA Tournament-style bracket. You, the readers, vote on each match up until we have our ultimate champion.
Voting continues in the Art Jimmerson region until midnight ET tonight. Check out the updated bracket.
We move on to the relatively weak Harold Howard region. The matchups:
(8) "Live" interviews during UFC Fight Night vs. (16) Male fighters with tramp stamps
(4) No knees to the head on the ground vs. (12) Aleksander Emelianenko competing with Hepatitis C
(3) Kazushi Sakuraba's right ear vs. (6) MMA in a ring
(2) Frank Shamrock's braces vs. (7) UFC's Youtube policy

Vote after the jump. Polls close at midnight ET tomorrow.
