Denis Kang. Pride GP finalist, thought he was going to have a decent run in a weak MW division.
Gets sub'd by Belcher, and was gone from the UFC a couple fights later.
To be fair though, he was dominating both, Bisping and Belcher, before suddenly losing.
Very talented, but a head case.
Yeah. I don't really remember the Belcher fight, but I thought for sure he had Bisping finished. Knocked Bisping loopy and had him beaten silly, then just totally ran out of gas and got used as a punching bag till he fell over and died. Bit of bad luck and some really inexplicable shit from him, pretty much the story of his post Pride career.
Josh Grispi. Took a “tuneup” fight before he was supposed to fight Aldo for the title and got tuned up by Poirier.
Poirier also gets the nod for most impressive first fight for me.
Jesus Christ. Was that the one where he just straight up quit?
The first left stunned him.I will never understand Wand in that fight. Just jumped in front fo Vitor and started eating rights and lefts, made no sense
Based on expectations, gotta say CroCop, Shogun, and Anthony Pettis (UD'd by Guida in his first UFC fight coming off of the "Showtime Kick" fight to win the WEC belt over Bendo).
All three were expected to challenge for if not outright win their respective titles ASAP.
