Fighters beaten so badly you could never look at them the same after...

[Fstepp]

Mirko ruined wand too. Brutal

Mirko ruined Wand, and Napao ruined Mirko!

 

[Race Freelie]

I thought Rockhold ended Weidmans career for good. That one was hard to watch, and I'm no fan of either.

 

[Workaholic]

Probably counter to the original intent of the thread, but my respect for Robbie and Rory grew (and fighters in general) grew from watching this war:

This would be perfect in a thread title "Fighters beaten so badly the never looked the same after" though

Rory's face has never truly recovered from that war

Actually I'm surprised Robbie's lip doesn't still look fucked too

 

[FromTheSouth]

That really hurt me..last time i cried was, when they execute John coffey in the green mile

 

[Perrichet]

Chris destroyed him and his career

Speaking of Mirko...

IIRC, Gonzaga was supposed to be a mere formality to justify giving Cro Cop a title shot. I was never able to take Cro Cop seriously after he got "Cro-Copped" by a fat guy.

 

[OzoneX]

Glover Teixera almost killed Fabio Maldonado. Amazing that Fabio has continued this career

Not only did he continue, he wrekt Fedor.

Why would it matter if you fat or not in HW? its preety clear that the best guys have some fat on them at HW

I liked the rematch better a way past it mirko beat gabe easily

He Did good in first 3 minutes that is all

 

[Hairrow]

Shogun vs Jones.

 

[jk7707]

The day the Machida Era died.

 

[Mixedfights]

Conor made Alvarez look like a retard. It was like he couldn't do shit to the champ a division lower. That shit was embarrassing.

Reminds me of when Frankie lost 2 title fights in a row....moved down and lost a third.

 

[TDD]

None.

Technically it doesn't matter. But the optics of it... People naturally expect the buff guy to beat the fat dough boy. Just like when Mariusz Pudskzkcicwxzy fought Tim Sylvia. We all should have known that was a squash match. Tim even looked like a squash. So when Pudz lost, all the hype around the "World's Strongest Man" instantly disappeared.

 

[Londonjitsu]

TJ destroyed the whole invincible barao thing, which was hyped up due to being training partners with aldo

 

[TheChance]

Shammy after the first Tito fight

 

[topcat87]

Great thread. All of my immediate choices are already here but I'll list em anyway
Brock Cain
Ronda Holly
Silva weidman
Conor Aldo

I'll also be interested to see how Ngannou and Garbrandt's careers play out after their respective ass whoopings

 

[KhabibTheBeagle]

Gavin Tucker is a really exciting prospect, but after getting whooped by Rick Glenn, I don't know how seriously I'll be able to take him again.

TJ ruined Baraõ, and turned him into a Top15 at best.

Conor slapped up Eddie so bad, I have trouble remembering how good Eddie is.

 

[NobodyNothing]

BJ Penn’s last 7 years

This was my first thought as well.
