Rory MacDonald and the Most Unintentionally Funny Fighters in MMA History

There's a ton of room for unintentional comedy in MMA. One might even argue that identifying this comedy and harnessing it to help you perform daily tasks like weeding your garden or dealing with the regular absurdity of MMA is a real tentpole of healthy MMA fandom.

Among the emerging stars in this area is one Rory "Red King" MacDonald, who faces Robbie Lawler for the UFC welterweight title this Saturday at UFC 189.

That bout got us thinking. Who are the superstars who make it happen most? Who accidentally brings the hilarity? From the socially awkward to emcee of the brodown, these are the most unintentionally funny fighters across the history of this sport.

More or less, every fighter on this list happens to be (or has been) an elite fighter, which makes his accidental humor all the richer. There's a certain, shall we say, single-mindedness accompanying that level that can often stunt development in other areas. 

I'm pretty sure you get it. Here goes the list.
