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.
The final bracket is set. Congratulations to Lactic Acidosis, Joe and Dana's five-minute shoutfest, Shinya Aoki's tears, and "takedown stole the round" for winning the play-in spots.
We open the voting in the Jon Hess region. The four matchups on tap for you today:
Mike Goldberg, human sound board vs. Jon Jones and the amazingly cocky "humble" personality
MMA judging vs. Lactic Acidosis
MMA Twitter wars vs. FOTN bonuses for bad brawls
Chris Leben and alcohol vs. Bellator's ratings

Voting form (it's automated!) after the break. Polls will be open until midnight tomorrow.
