Competing outside of the UFC

[Johnny_Knuckles]

Merry Christmas sherbros!

As we know, mma and combat sports in general is a small world with many competing against each other before or outside of the UFC.

On that note I thought that it might be interesting to start compiling a list of these occasions, whether it be in mma or other combat sports.

Muay Thai
Valentina Shevchenko def. Joanna Jedrzejczyk x2 (2006, 2007 & 2008- all by decision) in the International Federation of Muaythai Association

Submission Grappling
Donald Cerrone def. Rafael Dos Anjos (2020- by armbar in overtime) Submission Underground

Its surprising to me Cerrone submiting RDA

 

[VinceArch]

Matt fucking Riddle of all people beat Jon Jones in wrestling.

What the TS purposefully left out is that it was in overtime and Cerrone was givin a free full arm-bar position per the rules of the tournament

During normal grappling RDA easily out grappled Cerrone

What you left out is the fact Cerrone made RDA tap twice, in one night.
