Brandon Thatch. He looked like a machine of absolute destruction at the beginning of his UFC run, I had no doubt in my mind that he would be a serious contender in the future. Then he got submitted by Ben Henderson. No shame in that, it was a good fight and Benson is a great fighter. Then another submission to Gunnar Nelson, again no shame, Gunnar is one of the best there is at submissions. So I was still on the bandwagon.
But in subsequent fights he just showed a complete lack of ground game, and obviously had made no effort to improve it. Plus he was probably never going to be in an exciting fight again like the old days because everyone has him figured out. So I hopped off the wagon. Such a shame. I genuinely believe that if he had evolved his game while he had the chance, the sky could been the limit for him.
