Better fighter losing due to overlooking

[Deleted member 110072]

Okay but Gonzaga is better than CC. He's dominantly won 99% of their 25 minutes together.

He got an upset win over him and then lost years latter when Mirko was waaaaaaaay past his best.

Look at the two men's careers and only the most UFC brand crazed fanboy would seriously say Gonzaga was better.

Gonzaga lost the majority of the big fights he had, besides Mirko his only really big win was Rothwell.

I always felt Igor overlooked Telligman after Shamrock pulled out of the fight.

Thats like saying Stefan Struve is way better than Nogueira

Absolute clown shoe level response

McGregor VS Khabib
(Just kidding; wanted to see his butt huggers agree)

What's wrong with hugging butts?

Although I think Rogerio realy was more just a blind punch which happened to land wrist to chin perfectly and Arona I think took him seriously, Soko just gave the performance of his career there with that insane hoping takedown defence, if Arona got him down it was probably over going from what we saw latter.

Sokoudju doesn't get mentioned enough in conversations about freak athleticism.

You can think CC had a better career while acknowledging the factual truth that Gonzaga is better than him head to head after seeing Gonzaga beat the shit out of him for 99% of their 2 fights.

Gonzaga dominated and beat the living piss out of CC for 99% of their 2 fights.

He is better than him head to head. Sorry that offends you.

I can't though, its not a 1:1 proposition. Gonzaga is not a better fighter than Cro Cop. Even if he won.

You're living in denial bud. They literally fought this isn't a hypothetical

do people still try to justify that cro crop gonzaga thing as overlooking?

i just think he got taken down, hit with elbows that stunned him a bit, and then got knocked out

beat me to it. that wasn't overlooking at all, he just got messed up on the ground very quickly.

some other questionable ones from the original list too, 'werdum stipe' is highly debatable, and 'mir lesnar 2' was pretty much just inevitable.

Even head to head he's only 1-1 with him and that's a good reflection of his career, losing matches he was winning was pretty common.

First fight catching the first mid kick for a takedown I'd say was a BIG factor in how it went and I don't think he could do that consistently same way Randleman couldnt land a punch that good consistantly.

Truth is we only saw one fight which was really prime vs prime and I think that fight was an upset, partly Mirko not training for elbows but I think mostly Gonzaga giving a performance he couldnt replicate the rest of his career and a bit of luck.
