Fighters with Surprising Wins?

Michael Johnson somehow beat multiple top 5'ers but loses to random 1-1 guys.
Yeah he has a good ability to fight down to his opponents and win most of a fight then lose. Sorta like Weidman but he's lost to good guys.
 
Joe lauzon is under appreciated, with wins over prime jens pulver, Jeremy Stevens, Melvin gulliard, and Michael chiesa.
Other fighters that aren’t mentioned enough like Matt brown, mostly being known as a tough brawler but he’s beaten a young wonderboy and Douglas lima
 
Rafael Assuncao has a win over Masvidal, Assuncao is a bantamweight.

Vicente Luque holds a win over Thiago Santos.

Ed Herman beat Glover Teixeira.

Melvin Guillard holds a win over Gleason Tibau.

Kendall Grove beat Derek Brunson.

Karen Darabedyan beat Tony Ferg.

Michael Chandler holds a win over Akihiro Gono.

Bryan caraway has a win over Aljermain Sterling.

Anthony Johnson beat Charlie Brenneman (a lightweight) and former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski 18 months apart.
 
Corey Anderson has wins over both Jan B and Glover who will be fighting in the next UFC LHW title fight.

(I'm aware that Jan has a win over Corey too.)
Jan has gotten so much better than cory now though. He almost killed him when they rematched.
 
Michael Johnson somehow beat multiple top 5'ers but loses to random 1-1 guys.
He's had 1 of the weirdest fucking careers ever.. KO's Dustin coming off 2 losses.. Since that huge win MJ has gone 2-5.. While Dustin has gone on to establish himself as one of the great LW's of all time..
 
I'm talking about with a few of them. Clay Guida has some good names on his resume. Anthony Pettis, BJ Penn, Nate Diaz, Gomi, and RDA are pretty solid wins.

Nothing too surprising...

Guida is an absolute beast. Beat Josh Thomson for the Strikeforce title early in his career, and fought Melendez to a very close decision loss soon after. This was even before he was in the UFC.

He was robbed against Tyson Griffin when Griffin still had a lot of hype behind his name, and he was dominating Roger Huerta before Huerta pulled off that miraculous finish.

He was also dominating Brian Ortega before Ortega pulled off a come from behind finish in the last 30 seconds of their bout as well.
