Fighter you expected to make it big in the UFC

[Dmurr90]

making it big is getting a title shot and losing?

 

[dead joe]

Kamal Shalorus ws unbeaten and had god tier wrestling that he never used. Then just faded out.

Good shout.

 

[L.T.]

 

[KESTERDIABLO]

David Loiseau

He had a nice 3 fight streak against Gideon Ray, McCarthy and then folded and elbowed Evan Tanner into a living death.

He trained with GSP and I thought he would follow Him to the top.

 

[Big Nog vs Bus]

Everyone was excited about Marius Zaromskis for a bit, that fizzled out quick tho

 

[boss429]

but they never delivered. Who you got?

Most obvious answer is Erick Silva. He is still young though so who knows, theres still time.

I also have to admit I thought Chieck Kongo had potential after his first fight and expected a lot more from Luis Cain as well.

EDIT: Probably should have atleast read the first page before posting. Apparently Erick Silva really is the most obvious answer, lol.

Shout out to Terry Etim

 

[fortheo]

Albert Einstein tumenov. I thought he would be a future title contender for sure. He even cracked into the rankings before his poor ground game was exposed. He's still very young, though, so maybe he'll be back better than ever.

Dustin Hazelett; great submissions.



Amir Sadollah; nice muy thai.

[kiley_sean]

Denis Kang

 

[Andrei Orlovski]

Kamal Shalorus ws unbeaten and had god tier wrestling that he never used. Then just faded out.

He was like 50 years old. I remember someone saying they didn't know how old he was cuz he had no birth certificate or something like that.

 

[dragovic]

Niklas Bäckström.

 

[chuckleknuckle]

Philip Miller....

Agreed. He landed the best spinning back kick to the body ever. The thud it made was amazing.
