0-1 James Toney
0-2 with Phil Brooks

Is there anyone else that would try to get into the octagon with no experience? I'm all for other sports athletes crossing over. Next time I hope it's someone younger, more athletic, and has real competition experience.

I think a series like The Contender Series with just freak show one offs would be a change of pace and wouldn't bump anyone off the main event.
 
Matt Mitrione had his pro debut in the UFC and went 5-0.
 
BJ Penn? I understand he already had combat sports experience but I think he was only into BJJ before trying MMA in teh UFC
 
Greg Hardy is coming to the contender series.

Amir Sadollah was made his debut on the TUF and his pro fight he beat C.B. Dolloway.

Go after the executives who made the fights instead of the fighters.

My 2 examplese the 2 guys that had no mma experience (no business being in the cage at this level) and were put on main cards.
Brock had one fight per UFC, but here's a good example.
Matt worked his way up through the ranks.
No I didn't do research, I have a life.

What ranks did Mitrione or Sadollah work their way up? The TUF house?
 
A guy named Jacuzzi Chupacabra did pretty well. He was supposed to be some Japanese wrestling can who came into the UFC with a 0-1 record, ended up being one of the greatest fighters ever and found himself in the MMA and UFC Hall of Fame.

That Brock guy was pretty inexperienced. He sure as hell didn't train as long as Punk did.

Might have to change that 0-3. as cringy as it's making me, truth is truth

One punk ass pro fight against a no one with a losing record. Don't act like that means anything
