"....And they were never heard from ever again"

[dominion]

Pretty sure he's dead...

Well that certainly explains it. Damn

I miss Cody McKenzie and that weird VT of him scurrying up to the camera with his fists up.

Hope he’s doing good.

He donated his blood in order to make weight.

Brandon Thatch

11-1, next big thing

Loses 4 in a row and retires.

There are some hints that he KOd Schaub in training back in the day

 

[Handsome Bruce]

I'd like to throw out Kurt pellegrino and Jimmy Hettis

I was just thinking of Hettis the other day and I couldn't remember his name. Interesting how I came across his name in this thread.

Josh Grispi...

He lost all his ufc fights

I remember Thatch had one of the worst submission defence games I've seen. 4 losses in a row, 2 rear naked, 2 arm triangle and never seen again.

 

[Morning Star]

Just disappeared before he even hit 30. Think I heard a rumour he ran into some legal troubles in the UK.

Pretty sure he's still in prison aswell for being a complete scumbag to his wife aswell.

Bruh he was involved in one the biggest heists ever. Now rotting in prison in morocco.

 

[Benoitthegr8]

Isn’t Gregor on medical suspension until 2022 for that sacking

 

[KantoTerror]

He wasn't that active. Guy just wants to fish. Blue collar part time fighter

Steelhead is running on the rivers right now and that's his favorite fish to catch...

 

[KantoTerror]

Pete Sell after getting tricked into walking into a punch...faded to Bolivian...

 

[boss429]

TJ Grant. Just dissapeared into the potash mines forever it seems.

Came here to say this. I guess he felt like he was having some symptoms of potential brain trauma and decided to walk away from the sport as the #1 contender for the belt instead of continuing to compete.

TJ was a very intelligent guy and I guess he wasn't willing to take the chance on losing anymore braincells for potential fame and glory. Very unusual situation and absolutely unprecedented really.

 

[KantoTerror]

Corey Hill, the dude on tuf punking Gabe ruediger. Unique personality. Broke his leg on a leg kick and hasn't been seen since.

Dude died..

 

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

He lost all his ufc fights

True, but before having to pull out, he was supposed to be the one to threaten Aldo’s title reign, especially after running through all of his opponents in the WEC in minutes...

After having such a hot streak and hype behind him, the guy instead gets injured, loses consecutive bouts, makes his dog attack his girlfriend, went to jail, and has not been seen since.

 

[Marko Polo]

Jordan Mein? I think lol been so long.

I was gonna post this but he sort of just faded out. He was a relatively young man but was a pensioner in fight years and it showed in his last outing. He was one of my favourite fighters at one point.

 

[H41ph_84k3d]

I agree. David Terrell was the first person that comes to mind for some reason lol. You can add Nick Diaz to that list.

 

[HHJ]

That Gregor knockout was brutal, I didn’t realise he’d been out for 14 months but that’s a long old layoff considering how active he was.

But also covid happened and maybe he was fine w his fishing in times like this for awhile

Miesha Tate springs to mind. Mid-fight she realised she didn't have it anymore, still made it to final bell and then retired. Kudos to her for knowing it was time.

Miesha has stayed active post fight career though. Did post fight analysis w/ fox for awhile and then took a job with one fc behind the scenes. Better question is what ever happened to her boyfriend at the time. The dude barely fought but he barely lost. She gets knocked up by another guy and he just straight vanished

Losing to Lesnar and Dos Santos is no shame, but yet Shane Carwin seemed to disappear into the ether right after that.

I remember carwin had some severe back issues and decided he could make decent money being an engineer iirc. Then there was the federal steroid scandal that him and like kurt angle were named in and he got blacklisted after that. He tried to restart his career several years ago but literally no one was interested. He did a freakshow fight one handed against a pro skateboarder because that was the only gig he could get. He officially retired after that
