Who are some fighters that performed really badly after a devastating loss?
Some people I can think of are..
Dan Hardy, loses title bid against GSP. Goes on a 4 fight losing streak shortly after.
Leonard Garcia, controversial decision over Nam Phan, gets twistered in rematch w/ KZ & goes on a 4 fight losing streak.
Nam Phan lost against Garcia followed by Brown, beats Garcia in rematch, gets dominated by Hettes, beats Cole Miller & gets dominated by Dennis Siver.
Melvin Guillard. Gets embarassed by Joe Lauzon, subbed by the same move against Jim Miller, beats Camoes via lackluster decision then gets KO'd by Cerrone & beaten by Varner.
Just for a bonus, what about fighters who lost but came back better than before?
Benson Henderson, loses last WEC event title fight to Pettis. Transitions to the UFC & is riding a 6 fight winning streak including being the UFC LW champion.
Cain Velasquez. Loses title in first defense against JDS. Destroys Bigfoot w/out problem & dominates JDS en route to retaining his title back.
GSP. Loses to Serra & Hughes & ends up becoming the dominant champ he is today.
Anderson Silva loses via DQ against Okami & goes on to win the UFC MW title along w/ dominating the division for the past 7 years.
Rory MacDonald. Loses to Carlos Condit & starts decimating everybody in his path.
What say you Sherdog?
