Micheal johnson isnt quite a fluke. He has power and dustins style of getting stuck in worked against j while tonys style didnt work well against such a patient fighter plus it was his early UFC career too.
I remember the Serra vs GSP fight like it was yesterday, probably the biggest upset in UFC history, even to this day, just because of how easy Serra destroyed him. Amazing underdog moment, huge GSP fan but damn i was happy for Serra.
Its probably the only reason why Matt Serra is still remembered today at all. Having an enormous upset win over a future GOAT will leave its mark on history. Had he never defeated GSP and won the Welterweight strap he would have been a nobody except for TUF viewers.
@@brandonscorner9184 Rousey vs Holm was one of the biggest upsests by odds, but in hindsight especially it does not really seem as much of an upset, the odds where out of proportion and subject to the hype surrounding Rousey. There were obvious holes in their game, and their confidence in their hands putting them at risk. With GSP vs Serra on the other hand, you have two fighters who shouldn't really be sharing the cage (at least on paper, though I do think he subsequently proved himself as a top fighter even in his defeats) at this stage in their careers, GSP having undoubtedbly established himself as the best welterweight, and one of the most skilled and well rounded fighters in the UFC.
@@prime7042 I have seen that fight a dozen times, I know exactly what happened. Things like that happen all the time, it is part of the game. And, as I said, he was oddly tentative.
To be fair thats not a baffling or inexplicable loss. Cat Zingano was an elite fighter in 2014, she finished Miesha Tate in her previous fight, was the favourite to win against Amanda Nunes and had the potential to be a Champion during that era of WMMA. Thing is though she never recovered after her loss to Ronda Rousey, it was a mental aspect and accumulation of factors in her personal life that contributed to her career decline.
Remember that stipe was only knocked out because he slipped on the canvas and struve capitalized on it. Not a knock on struve by any means, but it was a fluke
Nah he was already rocked before that slip. He was eyepoked momentes before getting rocked tho. Just goes to show that Stipe's ultimate weakness are eyepokes lol.
@No Name you're right about that. But I'd say it's comparable to holloways early loss bermudez cuz of how great of a fighter he is now. The 3 of them never really cracked the elite level whereas Blachowicz did. Seeing how dominant he is now, is baffling that he lost to those 3. Blachowicz wasn't as highly touted as holloway was in their early careers though.
Just my opinion obviously, but I don't think Hendo vs Shield was on the same level... Hendo a lots of losses, and Jake is far from the most baffling on the list. Sure Shield was the underdog, but he was still the Strikeforce champ and Hendo the challenger, Jake won on a tear, having defended/fought for his belts against Nick Thompson, Robbie Lawler, Paul Daley, Jason "Mayhem" Miller, and finally Dan Henderson. At that point he was the classic "best guy outside the UFC" role model. He then moved to the UFC where he beat Martin Kampmann in a title eliminator; he got his title shot, and all the people watching who weren't GSP fans saw Shields as the guy to finally beat St Pierre. Sorry about the long post, but I wanted to establish the context for those who may not be familiar with all of GSP's challengers ^^' IMO it really isn't such a bad loss, losing to a younger elite fighter in his q who is on his way to the top, it could be a lot worse.
@@randallflagg3700 this is an old comment but a lot of people forget how good Shields was, he's is up there for GSPs best win. Shields has wins over an up and coming Woodly, Hendo, Maia, and Lawler. Yeah Shields has some losses but he was an elite athlete who could hang with the best of them.
*Dan Henderson vs Jake Shields* What makes it even more bizarre is that it was the next fight after him performing one of the greatest knockouts of all time against Bisping, one fight prior to him winning the Strikeforce light heavyweight championship and two fights prior to him KOing the heavyweight goat Fedor.
I still can't believe Struve beat Stipe. Side note I had hope Struve would be like a new Semmy Schilt it turns out the "skyscraper" would be like a skyscraper collapsing more than anything...sorry.
Its ridiculous! How can you be that tall and have no jab or distance control???? Either hes not coachable or his coaches failed him. It's insane. One of the most wasted potentials I've ever see.
What sucks is a Joe Duffy is actually a pretty damn good boxer (for MMA standards), and he's had a few boxing bouts and is undefeated (7-0, all 7 matches happened in 2013) in that sport. Thing is, Duffy semi-retired from MMA in 2011 after beating Conor an a few other guys... to switch to training in boxing only for a couple years. Then in 2013 alone he won 7 boxing matches, but he must have thought that he wouldn't be able to cut it at a higher level, I don't remember why, but he came back to MMA in 2014. IMHO, those years of boxing training would have been put to good use have he called out McGregor to take his revenge on the boxing ring, since Conor had been talking about boxing years before it actually happened. A boxing bout between Conor and Duffy would have been perfect, either before the Floyd fight to see at what level he's at, or after to rebound after the 2017 Mayweather beat down. In the post-Chael world of call-outs pro-wrestling style, the public would have loved it, especially the Irish which is good because it was at a time where the UFC was trying to find some stars from there...
@@randallflagg3700 I look at Joe Duffy as a journeyman. A man who was on his way out. If he EVER came back, he will be KO’d stiff and sent back to whatever place he calls his home now.
@@realkingrav2265 - well yeah, sadly not everyone can be a world class champion... Duffy is a solid journeyman though (4-4 n the UFC, and some nice wins outside as well, like against crafty veterans Norman Park or Damien Lapilus) , and is very well rounded. Duffy has good BJJ, good boxing, good kicks... Had he rematched Conor in MMA when McGregor was in his prime , then IMHO _Irish Joe_ would have lost... But a boxing bout? Who knows? That would been easy to sell it to the MMA casuals wave that accompanied Conor's rise to the top. I guess I just miss the days when MMA fighters would often take kickboxing or boxing bouts on the side, even if it still happens nowadays once in a while. (at least to guys who aren't in a UFC contract) Good times... _soz about the long posts, abreviating us_
He lost two robberies against Volk his first loss to Dustin Poirier it was his pro debut plus he had a white belt in BJJ the second time he was outsized and still took crazy hits and was still on his feet against Conor he submitted against Bermudez it was a decision loss most of his losses weren’t even that bad and he was really young at the time with no a whole lot of experience he hasn’t even hit his prime yet so the best is blessed he will become 145 champ again and then probably double champ in the future in my opinion
@@mambamolt_tt73 The first loss to Volk was no robbery. If Volk can perform that well against Blessed to make it competitive in both fights we really should be asking ourselves; just how good is Alexander Volkanovski?
Matt Hughes lost to Pele right after he lost to Dennis the second time. Still nothing but love to you guys, these videos are the highlights of my week! :D
3:33 Tao of jkd has kickboxing, wrestling and grappling. pg117-123 has double/single leg takedowns, heelhooks, calfcrushers, the Twister, chokes. It IS MMA 20 years ahead of its time
@dick McGibbon Well this is going to light up a debate, but GSP was just as dominant as Khabib during his prime. GSP's losses were in title fights at ages 23 and 25 and he wasn't fully developed yet. After his loss to Serra, he looked untouchable for over six years until he fought Hendricks. Maybe lost a round or two that entire time. Khabib didn't even fight for the title until he was 29 and well within his fighting prime. When he was 23 he had a close fight with Tibau
@@benlewis5312 you're right about that but some Khabib fans don't want to accept it... Khabib was absolutely the most dominant LW. I'd have liked to see him move up and fight a wrestler.
@dick McGibbon Usman could definitely beat Khabib. He has the exact same record at 13-0 with three title defenses, and he's fighting bigger guys. Not to mention he's never been taken down in his entire career and that wrestling is dependent on weight. And no, Khabib could not hold DC down. DC said he "kinda had to try" to get back up, and that was when he was already in a disadvantageous position as Khabib was on top of him. And if I've learned anything from watching MMA, it is that the competition eventually learns how to beat you. Silva, GSP, and Jones all didn't officially lose a single round in their first five title defenses (Khabib officially lost a round against McGregor and Gaethje, which I think is ridiculous but still), but eventually Chael, Hendricks, and Gustafson came along to ruin the party. And even then they all kept on winning
@dick McGibbon I know its hard to comprehend but one is presently a bantamweight while the other is presently a welterweight.... and the bantamweight has the win...
Rashad having SD losses to Dan Kelly and Sam Alvey feels so wrong. I know it was at the end of his career and they were both back and fourth fights but man it feels wrong lol
Several guys in Pride wore Speedos. I didn't understand what was the big thing when Hallman wore his. Baffling that folks lose their mind over his gear...
Michael Johnson has been said to hit REALLY hard, at least in his best years, and it was Poirier's first fight at Lightweight. Idk, maybe you'd have to look into it but something tells me at least a solid amount of people bet on MJ to win that night.
@@abrahamfarraj84 a lot of the guys on this list were up and coming prospects that just fell off. Michael Johnson almost has as many losses as victories now, while Poirier has won an interim, beaten Holloway twice, and avenged his loss to Conor. I think that should have been enough to qualify
@@abrahamfarraj84 wasn’t Poirier first fight at LW, but was his only loss there till Khabib. MJ also beat Tony Ferguson before Ferguson went in a crazy win streak. MJ is so weird, he beat some good names and loses to some meh guys. Has power at LW goes to FW and loses all his power, and hasn’t been the same since. He’s a guy no one can bet on soooo inconsistent. Idk if it should be in this list tho over these other fights.
@dick McGibbon look at the end of his career lol. Some of the dudes in this video had success past the mentioned fight. MJ is like, 16-15-1 😂. For a dude to have THAT record and hold wins over Poirier AND Tony?! At least an honorable mention
@dick McGibbon umm Matt Sera vs GSP was in this video btw. The video is not ten most shocking upsets, but 10 fighters who got a win over a legend and then fell off. Believe it or not, Dustin became a legend AFTER the Johnson fight. Kinda like how Max Holloway became a legend after the fight with Dennis Bermudez... it’s almost as if, in order for this list to make sense, you have to look at their careers as a WHOLE. Max was NOT a legend when he got beat by Bermudez, and it’s the first damn fight on the list!
love how they mentioned Shamrock's losses in Pancrase but never mentioned that he was once King of Pancrase. And this list proves the old adage of combat sports - styles make fights.

Stipe wasn't "pieced up" by Struve He was winning the fight, and got TKOd after a pretty bad eye poke that obviously effected him. Also triple cringe is not a "legend", except of course in his own head.
@dick McGibbon Stipe out-struck him 33-20 in round one and had TD. He also won the round on all 3 judges scorecards. I think you're the one that needs to re-watch the fight. Or maybe your judgment is so bad that re-watching won't help.
@dick McGibbon After beating dustin he went 2-7 in his last 9...the fact that he beat 2 soon to be champs and he is where he is now should be worthy of this list.
@@GoodStuff1992 Stipe had less MMA experience when they fought but that's besides the point... what is absolutely hilarious about it? Struve was by no means a can. The Vegas line was probably pretty close. Can you explain what's so funny?
@@JustinGild because nobody expected he would TKO Stipe that time. What's funnier is that Struve got TKOd by Overeem, the same Overeem who got KOd by Stipe.
@@eetfuk3571 One of the oldest expressions in MMA's brief history is "MMA math doesn't add up." Anyone can beat anyone on any given day and just because fighter A beat fighter B and fighter B beat fighter C doesn't mean fighter A will beat fighter C.
I really appreciate the way you talked about Matt S’s victory because he was underestimated and that was the beauty of it in my opinion. He took advantage of a situation and made the most of it!
4:43 im sorry i know he's probably really hurt but i laughed cause he looked like a kid that just got pushed by another kid and wanted him in trouble so he just starts crying even though it didn't hurt.
I get that it's a list of legendary fighters, but one has to remember Andrei Arlovski's first pro fight vs Viacheslav Datsik. if you don't know who Datsik is just google him and his fights. Andrei went on to become UFC HW champ.
Some of the most shocking wins at the moment in time they happened.....Serra vs GSP....Brian Bowles vs Miguel Torres....mike brown vs Faber.....Holms vs Rousey....Werdum vs Fedor.....Pena vs Nunes....Frankie Edgar vs Bj Penn....Bj Penn vs Matt Hughes.. .Dillashaw vs Barao.....Gabriel Gonzaga vs Krocop..Randy couture vs lidell,Belfort,Ortiz,slyvia,Pedro Rizzo...Mike Russow vs Todd duffee...Forrest Griffin vs Shogun,Rampage
That's why mma is so unpredictable every fighter has a chance to improve to be better fighter even they lose they still do their best to improve and learn from that lose to become the best fighter
I sure as hell dispute Nunes' GOAT status. Valentina didn't cut any weight to fight at 135. Even though Amanda had 20 lbs on her, many people (myself included) think Valentina won the second fight. If they were the same size, Valentina would beat Amanda 10 out of 10 times.
I remember watching Struve piece up Stipe live and thinking that Miocic guy wasn't going anywhere.
Same man when him and jds fought the first time im like wtf they giving this stipe guy a chance vs junior
Stipe lost after a really bad eyepoke left him unable to see out of one eye for the rest of the fight.

That would been easy to sell it to the MMA casuals wave that accompanied Conor's rise to the top.
I guess I just miss the days when MMA fighters would often take kickboxing or boxing bouts on the side, even if it still happens nowadays once in a while.
(at least to guys who aren't in a UFC contract)
Good times...

my favourite comeback to “13 seconds” is always “38 seconds”
I don't get it. Lol my bad. What's the reference?
huh?

Well 13 is shorter than 38 so. Not a good comeback

Max Holloway:
0-2 against Volk
0-2 against Poirer
0-1 against Conor
0-1 against Bermudez
“The best is blessed”
He lost two robberies against Volk his first loss to Dustin Poirier it was his pro debut plus he had a white belt in BJJ the second time he was outsized and still took crazy hits and was still on his feet against Conor he submitted against Bermudez it was a decision loss most of his losses weren’t even that bad and he was really young at the time with no a whole lot of experience he hasn’t even hit his prime yet so the best is blessed he will become 145 champ again and then probably double champ in the future in my opinion
@@mambamolt_tt73 The first loss to Volk was no robbery. If Volk can perform that well against Blessed to make it competitive in both fights we really should be asking ourselves; just how good is Alexander Volkanovski?
1:07 “right before the Notorious lost to McGregor”
fun with puns
Conors loss to Khabib is so baffling.. I thought he was going to submit Khabib 100%
Did you see the size of his foot? It was like a balloon
Lol.
😭🏆🚫
me too especially when dillon said he bring a better version of khabib in the embedded. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣LMAO
Matt Hughes lost to Pele right after he lost to Dennis the second time. Still nothing but love to you guys, these videos are the highlights of my week! :D
"With an illegal up kick, Silver defeated himself" 😂😂😂 is there anyone else who prefers Tommy Toe hold doing these videos?
Sokoudjou's demolition of Lil' Nog looks strange as hell given how his career ended up post-PRIDE
Also his win over arona. Very odd beats 2 of the top light heavyweights then goes on a slump
Sokoudjou has a tko win over Jan Blachowicz
@@josip342 holy shit this also
The Stipe Vs Struve one is very confusing
Ryo Chonan's submission of silva was hardly a hail mary. Chonan dominated the fight and would have won had it gone to decision most likely
Igor vovchanchyn vs tra telligman should should be on here to
Good one 👍
Anderson Silva lost and got finished by an undersized fighter with a 4-7 record yet people still try to call him the greatest of all time
guessing you love the diaz brothers and cant name any nonranked fighters off the top of your head
Anyone that has the mentally that your career should be judged by your worst performance doesn’t belong in mma
Before watching this I’m assuming there’s Matt Hamill vs Jon Jones.
That's not really a baffling loss. A stupid loss, but it doesn't make your jaw drop if you know what happened.
Jones lost to Reyes too btw
@@kwalterrasquinha413 he didn’t though
These are straight up losses, not fluke DQs. Jon was beating the brakes off of Matt, they could have called a tko before the 12-6 even landed.
@@achievementbird2641 he did lol. Twenty more seconds and it would have been a TKO
Nothing better then going on lunch break and seeing a new upload from MMA on point. Thank you guys ✊🏽

Notable bout : Tito Ortiz vs A. Schlemenko
yep defo
You forgot Silva's two losses to Chael Sonnen
Those weren’t unexpected.
Tommy just brings that excitement that this channel needs... i get so excited when i hear his voice like a kid on Christmas 😂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The only things I know for certain are that I know nothing for certain, and that Ben Rosett made that sweet tune I heard in the intro
"One of the all time greats that the sport has ever seen"
Incorrect - GSP is the greatest that the sport has ever seen. 🐐
@dick McGibbon Well this is going to light up a debate, but GSP was just as dominant as Khabib during his prime. GSP's losses were in title fights at ages 23 and 25 and he wasn't fully developed yet. After his loss to Serra, he looked untouchable for over six years until he fought Hendricks. Maybe lost a round or two that entire time. Khabib didn't even fight for the title until he was 29 and well within his fighting prime. When he was 23 he had a close fight with Tibau
Gsp had 9 title defenses, Khabib 3. Gsp 2 division champ, Khabib 1. There is no debate gsp is the goat and Khabib is not to his knees.
Absolutely, he is the GOAT of the UFC. He wasn't ever my favourite fighter but can't deny his accomplishments and what he did in the UFC.
@@benlewis5312 you're right about that but some Khabib fans don't want to accept it... Khabib was absolutely the most dominant LW. I'd have liked to see him move up and fight a wrestler.
@dick McGibbon Usman could definitely beat Khabib. He has the exact same record at 13-0 with three title defenses, and he's fighting bigger guys. Not to mention he's never been taken down in his entire career and that wrestling is dependent on weight. And no, Khabib could not hold DC down. DC said he "kinda had to try" to get back up, and that was when he was already in a disadvantageous position as Khabib was on top of him. And if I've learned anything from watching MMA, it is that the competition eventually learns how to beat you. Silva, GSP, and Jones all didn't officially lose a single round in their first five title defenses (Khabib officially lost a round against McGregor and Gaethje, which I think is ridiculous but still), but eventually Chael, Hendricks, and Gustafson came along to ruin the party. And even then they all kept on winning
I wish Frank Shamrock would be inducted to the UFC Hall of Fame.
He absolutely deserves that. He's one of the greatest of all time
@@Sepear305 Dana doesn't like him, but if Tito and Frank were inducted, Frank should.
@@robertluengas513 for sure, Dana is just petty as fuck
Shane’s wife’s glasses were a random, yet perfect touch
My favorite one is Assuncao having a win over Masvidal
@dick McGibbon you're everywhere complaining dude fs
@dick McGibbon Ah yes, the top ten welterweight with the loss to the top 10 bantamweight isnt an odd loss. shut up
@dick McGibbon I know its hard to comprehend but one is presently a bantamweight while the other is presently a welterweight.... and the bantamweight has the win...
It sucks that stipe vs sturve rematch never happened
Stipe likes to shut people up
If there was ever a loss to put an asterisk next to is one to a 7ft tall kickboxer lmao
@@devanwelch4049 ik but casual haters will always say sturve sturve whenever there's praise for stipe

Rashad having SD losses to Dan Kelly and Sam Alvey feels so wrong. I know it was at the end of his career and they were both back and fourth fights but man it feels wrong lol
Several guys in Pride wore Speedos. I didn't understand what was the big thing when Hallman wore his. Baffling that folks lose their mind over his gear...
I didn't think it was that big of a deal but Dana was furious 😂
Before I even watch this, I'm calling Struve vs Miocic
I mean it's the thumbnail so.......
Poirier vs Michael Johnson must be on here
Michael Johnson has been said to hit REALLY hard, at least in his best years, and it was Poirier's first fight at Lightweight. Idk, maybe you'd have to look into it but something tells me at least a solid amount of people bet on MJ to win that night.
@@abrahamfarraj84 a lot of the guys on this list were up and coming prospects that just fell off. Michael Johnson almost has as many losses as victories now, while Poirier has won an interim, beaten Holloway twice, and avenged his loss to Conor. I think that should have been enough to qualify
@@abrahamfarraj84 wasn’t Poirier first fight at LW, but was his only loss there till Khabib. MJ also beat Tony Ferguson before Ferguson went in a crazy win streak. MJ is so weird, he beat some good names and loses to some meh guys. Has power at LW goes to FW and loses all his power, and hasn’t been the same since. He’s a guy no one can bet on soooo inconsistent. Idk if it should be in this list tho over these other fights.
@dick McGibbon look at the end of his career lol. Some of the dudes in this video had success past the mentioned fight. MJ is like, 16-15-1 😂. For a dude to have THAT record and hold wins over Poirier AND Tony?! At least an honorable mention
@dick McGibbon umm Matt Sera vs GSP was in this video btw. The video is not ten most shocking upsets, but 10 fighters who got a win over a legend and then fell off. Believe it or not, Dustin became a legend AFTER the Johnson fight. Kinda like how Max Holloway became a legend after the fight with Dennis Bermudez... it’s almost as if, in order for this list to make sense, you have to look at their careers as a WHOLE. Max was NOT a legend when he got beat by Bermudez, and it’s the first damn fight on the list!
love how they mentioned Shamrock's losses in Pancrase but never mentioned that he was once King of Pancrase. And this list proves the old adage of combat sports - styles make fights.
long fuckin day at work. nothin better than a MMA On Point video and Tommy to bring me back to Earth. damn i love this channel. cant wait til you guys start rollin in the big bucks. you deserve and earned it
Stipe wasn't "pieced up" by Struve He was winning the fight, and got TKOd after a pretty bad eye poke that obviously effected him.
Also triple cringe is not a "legend", except of course in his own head.
@dick McGibbon Stipe out-struck him 33-20 in round one and had TD. He also won the round on all 3 judges scorecards. I think you're the one that needs to re-watch the fight. Or maybe your judgment is so bad that re-watching won't help.
@Ebitari "Stipe lost" ...Thanks for the news flash. I also hear that grass is green, the sky is blue and fire is hot. You're a dimwit ... bro.
2 out 3 losses in Stipe carrer come from eye pokes
Top 10 most almost baffling fights that Dillon Danis was almost in.

Michael Johnson had better have two entries. One for Tony and one for Dustin.
@dick McGibbon After beating dustin he went 2-7 in his last 9...the fact that he beat 2 soon to be champs and he is where he is now should be worthy of this list.
@@Rui_Martins_2000 Nah it is not worthy of it at all he was a top fighter for years and he beat these 2 in those years alongside other top fighters
It is absolutely hilarious that the best heavyweight of all time lost to Stefan Struve
How is that funny at all? Stipe was green and Struve was a top heavyweight who went on to have a solid career.
@@JustinGild struve is younger than stipe and stipe already was a boxer gold glove and a d 1 wrestler
@@GoodStuff1992 Stipe had less MMA experience when they fought but that's besides the point... what is absolutely hilarious about it? Struve was by no means a can. The Vegas line was probably pretty close. Can you explain what's so funny?
@@JustinGild because nobody expected he would TKO Stipe that time. What's funnier is that Struve got TKOd by Overeem, the same Overeem who got KOd by Stipe.
@@eetfuk3571 One of the oldest expressions in MMA's brief history is "MMA math doesn't add up." Anyone can beat anyone on any given day and just because fighter A beat fighter B and fighter B beat fighter C doesn't mean fighter A will beat fighter C.
Struve eye poked Stipe pretty bad before the TKO
Dennis Bermudez was always sitting around the top 10 and rarely ever had a fight where it wasn't super competitive (save for Stephens and Jung.)

10 of the scariest fighters on the UFC roster today
We all know Ngannou would be in the top 3 of that list! Love the idea!
@@gianlucaolano5341 Essentially it is the biggest mma fighters.
Imagine if all these fights were to the death. We wouldn't have known how great of a fighter these people are.
I really appreciate the way you talked about Matt S’s victory because he was underestimated and that was the beauty of it in my opinion. He took advantage of a situation and made the most of it!
This is one of the best top 10 channels out there imo. Also I love Tommy's commentary. All arnd great
Miocic got his eye poked before struve finished him.....still kept fighting and did not object!!!!! Such a beast
Struve was beating has ass the entire fight

Artem Lobov and the 15 men on earth who have ever walked out the victor against him
Daaaaaaamn. I’m early for once 😂
That image of Randy vs Brock reminded me of how he got absolutely mauled
Ryo Chonan was winning the fight against Silva, the submission was not a hail mary but more like an exclamation point to an incredible performance.
Fun fact no one has watched this video yet
4:43 im sorry i know he's probably really hurt but i laughed cause he looked like a kid that just got pushed by another kid and wanted him in trouble so he just starts crying even though it didn't hurt.
Hells yeah. Here within 50 seconds of the video being posted! Love this channel.
0:57 is absolutely funny. Perfection
It's almost like everyone has a nemesis somewhere
2:17 Conor fence grab was nasty lol.
Valentijn beating coture wasnt an upset valentijn used to be an straight up animal back in the day
I get that it's a list of legendary fighters, but one has to remember Andrei Arlovski's first pro fight vs Viacheslav Datsik.
if you don't know who Datsik is just google him and his fights. Andrei went on to become UFC HW champ.
Some of the most shocking wins at the moment in time they happened.....Serra vs GSP....Brian Bowles vs Miguel Torres....mike brown vs Faber.....Holms vs Rousey....Werdum vs Fedor.....Pena vs Nunes....Frankie Edgar vs Bj Penn....Bj Penn vs Matt Hughes..
.Dillashaw vs Barao.....Gabriel Gonzaga vs Krocop..Randy couture vs lidell,Belfort,Ortiz,slyvia,Pedro Rizzo...Mike Russow vs Todd duffee...Forrest Griffin vs Shogun,Rampage
That's why mma is so unpredictable every fighter has a chance to improve to be better fighter even they lose they still do their best to improve and learn from that lose to become the best fighter
I sure as hell dispute Nunes' GOAT status. Valentina didn't cut any weight to fight at 135. Even though Amanda had 20 lbs on her, many people (myself included) think Valentina won the second fight. If they were the same size, Valentina would beat Amanda 10 out of 10 times.
I will thank you every time a Tommy video is made
