Was Aldo's 13 second KO the worst mental lapse ever by a GOAT level fighter in their prime?

[Gracious Warrior]

Aldo was a super patient point fighter during his championship run in the ufc. Then he fights Conor and does his best cm punk impression by running across the cage and loading up a big hay maker only to get walloped.

Has there been a goat level fighter that had such a horrendous mental lapse like that in their prime?

 

[TheBulge]

There's been a couple.

Fedor made a big mistake against Werdum, you could argue this.

And Android Silva...

This probably was the worst..disrespectful af and getting ktfo like that ending his run.

Funnily enough, Rockhold was in his prime but got too cocky and got ktfo by Bisping.

And Weidman threw worst heel kick attempt of all time and get his face pounded by Rockhold.

You could argue Poirier had a huge mental lapse in his absolute prime against Oliveira by doing that incredulous front roll to full guard.

And you could also say Werdum went full ret- against Stipe in his prime too.


To this day, I still don't know why Poirier did that front roll. One of us sherbro is probably right in saying that Poirier probably panicked, but I guess we'd never know for sure. That's probably what happened, he panicked..

silva taunting after weidman wasnt just coming in on a straight line without any feints or fakes like previous opponents

In PRIDE, Gomi also went full r- against Aurelio. He was the reigning pound for pound number 1 fighter in the world on Sherdog, and the fighter of the year. Huge upset.

Gsp Vs serra ftw.

MMA is probably the only sport where the mistakes and quitting is so evident in losses. I guess perhaps in combat sports in general, but I'm not hardcore boxing or kickboxing fan.

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

it was a mental lapse at all.

ALDO HAS LUNGED IN LIKE THAT H
LITERALLY HIS WHOLE CAREER, and then he faced a counter striker who was able to capitalize on it.

Mistakes are just as obvious in team sports if you understand them but they aren't as affecting as it's only a game. Boxing and MMA? Anything but.

Not goat level but weidman vs Jan was a bad slip.

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

Calm down, bucky.

To a degree yes. Aldo does move in to throw that that overhand but he doesn't do it as aggressively or recklessly.

Maybe evident wasn't the best word, hm I can't find the right word for it, I suppose if it's the end of the game, the mistakes could be magnified, but quitting isn't as obvious in team sports.

Maybe if you took your Ritalin before trying to make your point, you wouldn't need to? Lapse in judgment, lol.
