Fighters whose stocks went up after a loss

[Bangkok ready d1]

Kattar is going to fight tonight and one of the talking points to justify his favoritism is the fight against zabit ( a fight which he lost but it was extremely competitive ) come to think of it who are the other fighters you remember that their stock went up after a loss?

 

[SaigeVanZant]

Gus and Santos

 

[WhoWalksWithFergus]

Probably Andrade this last week. It's weird, but I think she probably looked better against Rose when she lost to her than she did in the fight she won. I'd definitely favour her in a 5-round trilogy fight.

Kyle Bochniak after Zabit fight

 

[OldBoy91]

Bisping against Chael.

Gus against Jones (first fight)

Vannata against Ferguson.

Jin Soo Son against Yan.

 

[taugrim]

Most recently: Holloway after the 2nd fight against Volk.

Holloway showed how talented and diverse he is. Gave Volk a lot of problems in the rematch, dropped him twice.

 

[Fahcough]

Poirier v Khabib

 

[EYEKICKFACES]

Poirier v Khabib

How so? He got dominated and quit. Terrible example.

He gained alot of respect from doubters. Many believe he's the clear #1 behind champ now. Before he was a flukey top 5 who should have lost some of his wins.

 

[Sweater of AV]

Igor-Saku
Wandy-Yoshida 1
Lyoto-BJ

 

[axe wound]

maybe KZ against the hail mary elbow guy

 

[BonesWinckleJones]

Usman-Masvidal

 

[podsox]

Lando is still living off the ferg fight

 

[NattyBro]

JJ vs Zhang. maybe not stock so much as gaining fans and respect from fans that were previously haters or indifferent to her (I count myself in that group)

 

[Right Hook nut shot]

Holloway, Reyes

 

[Yagadot]

Colby against Usman

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Jon Fitch after GSP
Reyes after Jon
Jan after Rockhold
JJ after Zhang

 

[Slippage]

JJ after Zhang

Jessica Andrade after her 2nd fight with Rose Namajunas

 

[Cool RoboCop Gun]

It is more common than you might think. Just off the top of my head:

Chael vs Anderson 1

Patrick Cote vs Tito Ortiz

Stephan Bonnar vs Forrest Griffin

Gustafsson vs Jon Jones 1

Reyes vs Jon Jones

Nick Diaz vs Anderson

Valentina vs Nunes 2

Not enough piledriver attempts
