Fighters who score a highlight reel submission/KO only to be brutally finished in their next fight.

I remember when Karate Kid Reem crane kicked Arlovski I thought the title was for sure on the horizon. But, in usual Overeem fashion he got flatlined. What are some other fighters who've experienced this?

Not to match the description exactly but
Platinum Mike dominated that enourmous Korean Lim, and then smashing Hot chocolate (who's a badass in his own right)

To then get beat by the male model...
In quite dominant fashion was a little weird

Immediately after Barboza highlight reel spinning heel kicked Terry Etim into living death he got TKO'd by Jamie Varner.

I wouldn't say dominant fashion....he knocked him down once and basically evaded the rest of the fight. It was dominant in the sense that Perry never seemed like he would win, but not very dominant in terms of damage done and submissions attempted he didn't do much to try to finish the fight

GSP had a highlight reel KO over Hughes and then got mauled and beaten savagely by the great Matt Serra. Just thinking about it gives me the chills.

 

[HaulParris]

JDS since winning the belt: finished Mir, got years taken off his life by Cain, finished Hunt, got more years taken off his life by Cain. The Hunt headkick KO was a thing of beauty, but both the Cain rematches were sad.

Shogun KTFO'ing Machida then getting battered by that roider pssy JBJ after an injury layoff of 11 months. Was a sad beating he took.

Serra TKO'd GSP in spectacular fashion just to get ragdolled in the rematch right after.

Anderson Silva was coming off a string of impressive finishes just to get hilariously KO'd by Weidman while dancing.

Matt Serra got the KO against GSP only to get beaten like a government mule in his next fight

I love the JR quote. 90s pro wrestling was my childhood. God bless the attitude era.
