Fighters who won a major upset and went on to do nothing.

[HHJ]

Nino Schembri beats Sakuraba and doesnt really do much at all afterward,although it is clear in that fight that Saku sort of gift wrapped it for him by not taking the guy seriously. who else?

Sokodjou actually scored TWO upsets before dissapearing into obscurity after tough losses.

[Colemanstove]

Charlie Brenneman

 

[McSpikes]

Jardine beating Chuck before we realized he was completely washed

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Paulo Thiago was over +400 when he made his debut against Koscheck and hit him with that uppercut.

Then he went 4-8 and got released

Houston Alexander is FOR REAL!!!

Literally the first words that came to my head. But in retrospect, was it a huge upset? I don't remember

Charlie Brenneman

That’s Pros vs Joes legend Charlie Brenneman to you

Matt Sera

This would be the winner of the thread...BIGGEST upset, then nothing of real excitement afterwards

Chris Weidman.

Dude, Weidman beat Lyoto right afterwards and before the major upset he got through a bunch of ranked guys, he's a terrible example. Might as well throw Garbrandt in.

Alex Hernandez KO'd Dariush and became pretty mediocre right after, done just enough to stay signed but definitely did not live up to the expectations people had heading into the Cerrone ass-whooping.

Well maybe not, but he had just beat Keith Jardine who was in the middle of his best run, and followed it up by beating Alessio Sakara... so I guess you're right, not the biggest upset in the world but Joe's hyperbole made it way more memorable than it ever should have been.

It wasn't an upset really. He just got attention for his quick kos

He had a really close fight e Matt Hughes that was good

Seth Petruzelli KO'd Kimbo and literally ended EliteXC with a single glancing punch, only to fall into total obscurity.

Although I was also sad for kimbo (rip) this was one of the most hilarious nights in MMA history.

The forum broke

Was he a Pro or a Joe? I only remember Randy choking out a bunch of fools on that show.
