Greatest Showboating Fail in UFC

[TheLegionnary]

The Anderson one is the most famous, especially because it was Anderson Silva and it ended his dominant run by a shocking KO

And I especially remember it because while Dana was pissed at Anderson clowning Maia and winning, he had no problem about this fight (even when asked about it by some reporter).

Still pissed that Silva fucked around the entire fight before getting KO’d. He’s one of my favorites, but he was frustrating to watch at times. Great highlights though.

Didn't do any better in the rematch when not showboating.

How is Cody vs TJ even on the list? The burn has to ne near instant to compete with the best.

Prime Weidman was so strong in his wrestling and had good cardio, damn. Plus good striking. I thought he‘d rule the division for much longer, then again I just started watching MMA.

I remember back when Weidman and Ronda fans would often make threads such as "current undefeated UFC champions" on a regular basis.

Shit was good.

Anderson's is the most monumental but I think Bethe's is the funniest because who da fook is she to even pretend she ever possessed Anderson Silva reflexes?

You have to admit that Bethe provided us some funny KOs. She has the talent for it. Beautiful faceplant against Ronda, astonished look on her face against HH. Beautiful.

Yeah, Anderson got to used to fighting guys on XANAX and got knocked the fuck out.
And then..... you know the whole STEROIDS thing.

 

[AKA_Steve_B]

The Anderson KO still looks so fake ...... can't believe it .

 

[dudefacemcghee]

Paul Harris eventually won a decision but still lmao.

This is a whole new level of showboating

 

[knowsitall]

Always good to see Betche go out cold.

 

[wake_me]

Rashad vs Machida

 

[gono btw]

Anderson / Weidman by a light year.

Bc he’s exiting to watch. Why would UFC build up Mark Hunt when he was 10-10?

What a spectacularly wrong post.

Because of the Pride buyout, the UFC was contractually obligated to give Mark Hunt fights. But the UFC didn't want to give Mark Hunt fights. They offered to pay him $450,000 to not fight at all, and go away.

Hunt's contract at the time was $6k to show and $6k to win. Think about how badly the UFC wanted to get rid of him that they offered him that kind of money.

Learn some MMA history you goof.

And guess what happened you goof? They watched him fight, saw that he was entertaining and kept him on the roster. He’s still signed to the UFC isn’t he? Yeah shut up

 

[Gamer2k4]

Not UFC, but worth a mention:

 

[MagnumDong]

Curtis Millender would be #1 on here if he ended up losing to Alves.

 

[crlkllr]

Silva vs Weidman by far.

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

anderson/weidman and it's not close, because of how big it was, anderson finally losing and losing like THAT.


was a huge anderson fan, i still am but not as much, he needs to just retire.

2. Weidman thoroughly humiliating a juiced to the gills Silva while bouncing his hgh bloated skull off the canvas was no doubt the biggest showboating fail of all time.

 

[Just Creed]

andersons is the best. it was fucking hilarious when he got wrekt.
