[RafaelDosSantos]

Long training camps are unnecessary

Nate Diaz - beat the best fighter on earth on 11 days notice
Michael Bisping - won the MW championship on 2 weeks notice

 

[beastman]

IIRC Houston Alexander took a fight on short notice to get into the UFC and KO'd Jardine.

 

[revoltub]

jon jones vs shogun

 

[qw3rty]

Cerrone for sure

 

[Chivas GDL]

Long training camps are unnecessary

Nate Diaz - beat the best fighter on earth on 11 days notice
Michael Bisping - won the MW championship on 2 weeks notice

If he was beaten and finished by a short notice drug addict maybe he is not the best fighter on earth.

 

[NHBfilipino222]

Charlie Brennerman vs. Rick Story.

 

[danny23]

GSP vs Hughes 3.

 

[toe hold]

Not exactly short notice, but T.J. Dillashaw vs. Renan Barao at UFC 173.

 

[Rocksinhead]

I remember Leben fought Akiyama 2 weeks after beating Aaron Simpson and won. Not sure how much notice he even had for it.

 

[csroster]

If I recall correctly Anderson vs Bonnar was short notice, pretty decent beating... I can't remember the circumstances around Anderson vs Griffin if that was short notice.

 

[lostdog000]

mark schultz

 

[chitoortiz]

Charlie Brennerman vs. Rick Story.

on 1 days notice.

end thread

 

[HaulParris]

Groovy Lando almost beat Ferguson on very short notice.

 

[CrimsonFan]

I remember Leben fought Akiyama 2 weeks after beating Aaron Simpson and won. Not sure how much notice he even had for it.

That was probably Lebans best performance too.


fucking triangle choked his ass lol I lost my shit

 

[Oscaraps]

If nick Diaz beat him on short notice then he sure as hell isnt the best fighter in the world.

 

[PAPERCLIP30]

Charlie Brennerman vs. Rick Story.

First one that came to mind.

Story was on a nice streak and just beat Alves. Then the hype train just kinda died.

 

[AP_RESURRECTION]

These threads show the stupidity of taking such a fight. No one really remembers or appreciates it. But if you lose, then you lost and are in the back of the line. If you need the money (or if its a big opportunity like a title shot), then so be it. Otherwise, probably best to wait for the next one.

 

[VanMMA]

Varner vs Barboza.

 

[Yankee]

Long training camps are unnecessary

Nate Diaz - beat the best fighter on earth on 11 days notice
Michael Bisping - won the MW championship on 2 weeks notice

Nate Diaz never fought or beat Jon Jones what is this foolishness!

 

[reddhelium]

didnt brock announce his return to mma (vs hunt) just a few weeks before ufc 200? at the very least, this was his first mma fight in over 4 years.
