Shit title, couldn't be arsed to word it better

So which one single fight, if you changed the outcome of, would have the greatest butterfly effect to the MMA world?
Please try and be more inventive than Conor/Aldo for fuck sake you heathens

example; UFC 70, instead of the actual outcome, Cro Cop 'Cro Cops' Gonzaga and gets a title shot at Randy Couture.
This would then be one of the biggest HW fights of all time (up to that point). I do still think the Randy of that night could have beaten Cro Cop, but it would be a different Cro Cop, one that didn't have his soul taken by Gonzaga, one that didn't suffer a major concussion, maybe his chin would hold up better for longer.

If Cro Cop won, he'd likely go on to rematch Nogueira, and likely win with Nog's decline. And then onto Brock and Mir, again fights that this version of Cro Cop would likely win.
Eventually running into Shane and Cain

Dude could've dominated HW for 3 years and be seen as one of the absolute greats of all time

shit thread, tldr, very mental very strange fuck off

obligatory tits and arse to save the day

don't know what are you talking about,didn't read anything because of that picture,
 
I would like to have seen what would have happened if Jimmerson one punch KO’d Gracie
 
Uncle Creepy vs MM 1 gets to the sudden death round like it should have, and McCall fights Benavidez for the inaugural Flyweight belt. Mighty Mouse gets back to 135 where he loses to bigger opponents and never reaches his true potential.
 
Silva over Weidman

Silva still unbeaten ufc goat and the man wouldn't fail the drug test either.

Fedor did not lose to Werdum.
The emperor would go on to win the HW tourney and as such, SF would not break.

Instead, it would grow exponentially with behind their stacked HW division with Fedor at the top..

UFC (in decline) would start losing its fighters. WME-IMG would not buy UFC

SF would continue to grow and become the biggest MMA promotion there is.

Scott Coker wouldbe the new (tame) Dana.

No shitty fights made for Profit.

Conor never happens.

We could just make things right and give Hendricks the nod over Georges.
 
Conor McGregor loses to Brimage in his debut
Ronda loses vs any of the girls she smashed on her way to the ufc.

I wouldn't like either result but I guess some here would be happier fanboys hah.

Fedor lost to Werdum but it wasn’t in the tournament. He lost to Bigfoot Silva.
 
Aldo knocks out Conor.

EDIT: fuck, responded before I read the OP. :D

EDIT2: got some other ideas now:

Cormier KOs Jon Jones in their 1st fight.

Machida KOs Weidman and wins his 2nd UFC belt.

Big Nog subs Fedor in their 1st fight.

EDIT3: Fuck, now I've got the big one:

Art Jimmerson KOs Royce Gracie!

Maynard beats Edgar. Goes on to build confidence and holds down belt for as long as Frankie. Beats Penn, and Aldo with ease.

Everyone on Sherdog becomes a vegan, to emulate Maynard, and votes for Hilary Clinton. Hilary makes the United States a socialist republic. We are then overthrown by Canada, and GSP becomes the ruling leader of North America.

I understand.
But that was the beginning of the end for SF.
If Fedor did not lose to Werdum, and then proceeded to win the tourney, SF would be alive today.
 
Had Conor remained undefeated, the effect on Earth, as we know it, would have been dramatic.

This place would probably be named Conordog. The UFC would now be CFC. And so on, and so forth.
