Only 2 I somewhat disagree with are Pettis and Kimbo.

Kimbo, he actually did much better than I expected him to. For someone who was "just a backyard brawler" as many said, he didn't get murdered. He beat Houston Alexander in I guess you can call it a fight (he did get a great slam in that little circlefest). Nobody had any hopes for him, yet he won his debut? Yes, in a shitty and weird and awkward fight but still, considering that nobody including the UFC had any hope for him at all?

Pettis... He got hugged, humped and held for 3 rounds, what can you say? It was disappointing, however, IMO it wasn't his fault whatsoever. I guess that still qualifies it for this list though.

I will say it was pettis' fault he got dry humped for three rounds. He couldn't stop the TD and was too content to fight off of his back or he just plain couldn't get back up.

But as far as kimbo goes I agree.

...to put a more fine point on it, it's about UFC debuts, not professional debuts or careers.

I'll play a bit of devil's advocate, in that I was disappointed in Pettis's debut, but not with Pettis. There were several times where the action could have been stood up in that bout, where Guida wasn't doing anything but stalling for time. So with a more consistent officiating, it would have been stood up more.

...but then to be devil's advocate to the devil's advocate, you've got to probably figure that Guida just would have taken him down again and continued the LnP festival, and would still have won the UD.
