Stepping on a prone guy's neck could cause serious injury especially when they are fully relaxed knowing the fight is over.
Renzo then being 'unable to continue' against Shamrock after a pretty benign knee on the ground years later made me chuckle. Renzo's a character, you have to give him that.

What was that one fight with Jason McDonald, where he clearly hit him repeatedly after the bell??? That was pretty bad.
That was the Joe Doerksen fight. I remember losing all kinds of respect for Jason after that one.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Gilbert Yvel's many incidents. Thankfully he's righted his ship and appears now to be a true sportsman.
Some that come to mind though are:
- Mike Kyle after his fight with Travis Wiuff.
- Paul Daley sucker punching Kos.
- Diaz after the first Noons fight.
- John Salter celebrating after JMac had a freak injury.
- Rich Clementi after submitting Guillard. Granted, Guillard was a turd at the time, but calling someone a racial epithet, crotch chopping them, and talking shit about your them in the post fight interview was really ridiculous.
- Bisping during and after his fight with Rivera. Cheating to get the win and spitting at his corner afterwards.

I can see that being viewed as disrespectful, all though in my opinion it's just more gross!!
The OP says disrespectiful/unsportsmanlike actions. If licking opponents blood does not fall on the first category, certainly it will fall on the second. Anyway, gross it is...

I don't remember the racial epithet, but the rest of that is utterly awesome. As you say, Guillard was a completely loathable character back then. He behaved like a complete and utter dick in the lead up to that fight. It had got so personal, that when Clementi totally schooled him, I laughed my ass off in the extreme and gave Clementi the benefit of the doubt when he went so far overboard.

In fairness I can't think of a single thing Yvel did after a fight that was disrespectful or unsportsmanlike, most of his incidents like KO'ing the ref happened during the fight.
