Fighters You Feel Sorry For

[Big Dick Cheney**]

I miss this man every day

bradley cooper?

 

[Shoguns Prodigy**]

Feel bad for tons of fighter but none more than barao at this moment. He went from being and having fedor like presence among fighters and looked to be damn near unbeatable and then bam one fight with that fuckin snake ruined his whole career. Its crazy to think about when u look back cuz that dude had 1 loss on his record and about 20 something wins which was godly but just one fight changed him. He was never able to recover. I would of thought aldo would never recover from that ko loss to conor but that man came back in style and is about to contend for 135 belt his boy once held, which is even crazier. Its sad renan was never able to recover from that loss.

 

[Aluminati]

Didn't he had thousands of workers, including victims?

Don't feel sorry for any of them either.

 

[Fossor]

Don't feel sorry for any of them either.

Then you should be ok with Epstein, I guess!

 

[SpoonDogg]

Didn't go to war one time against Diaz and was getting shit for it. (Watch the fight again, you'll see Condit fighting pretty tight until he was comfortably ahead, then try something big and get punished for it by Diaz, then fight tight again until he was ahead again)

The most dangerous welterweight just happened to exist the same time as the greatest welterweight. Finally gets a chance after GSP leaves to win undisputed gold and the judges just didn't see it.

Wanted to retire to his business, didn't want his wars to hurt his health. I haven't heard the business did well, came back to fighting (I hope not because his business was hurting), doesn't seem to be fully able to do it, and it's obvious that his wars have affected his ability.

Didn't he go through a divorce too? Dude should of been champ and now he's all but forgotten.

 

[paperclip101]

Always felt bad for Marcus Brimage cause I think he released a video of where he living and it was a shed behind a friend's house or something

Idk. I mean, I saw like one "celebrity website" that said they were single in 2020, but I've not seen the word "divorce" attached to any thing when I search. As far as April last year, I see he's still married to his longtime girlfriend, Seager Marie McCullah

 

[wufabufa]

Joe Riggs.

Ultimate gym fighter but could never quite get it together on fight night. Had one of his kids pass away and even ended up shooting himself in the leg in a firearm accident. Now bareknuckle boxing......sad to see.

 

[DanaWhitesButler]

My man Virgil

Also that Japanese dude who had to fight Cro Cop and Fedor back to back

This is sad. Reminds me of an ugly stripper. You feel bad and want to throw her a fiver but you also dont want to show interest

 

[oldschoolmmafan]

Ryan Jimmo and Walt Harris.

Nah, he was hugged up with some 20-year old looking girl on a plane in one of the Embedded videos from his last fight.

The Natural Born Midlife Crisis.

Johny Hendricks

• Was a star then it all went sour
• Lost his business
• Got KTFO in BKFC by gay porn star
• Laughing stock of the MMA world
• Arguably beat GSP, which would have changed his bum life

Leonard Garcia

• Never in a boring fight
• Cut because of internet pressure over a bad record (with 3 split decisions and a FOTY included)
• Leonard retired
• Shortly after this, The UFC debuted in Mexico, which would have been the perfect send off.
• Now getting thumped silly at BKFC

Marcus Brimage

• Fed to Connor
• Fed to Cody
• Wins via headkick
• Fed to Jimmie Rivera
• Cut - he deserved a little something after that murderers row

Ken Shamwow

• Got old before the money came
• Humiliated constantly by Tito, virtually destroying his legacy
• Too proud to know when to quit fighting/personal battles
• A true pioneer, now in debt doing security for Fiddy Cent

Tim Sylvia

• Pioneer that gets zero respect
• Burned bridges with The UFC
• Lost high profile fights spectacularly outside of the UFC
• Got depressed
• Now looks like he does in the pic above

Cat Zigano

• Husband/coach killed himself
• Loses to Ronda after rushing in (in retrospect would have likely won if she'd kept distance and struck)
• Beat Amanda Nunes before it meant something
• Never got over her demons
• Eye injury vs Megan Anderson
• Still broke with CTE fighting at Bellator

Jake Shields

• Reputation and legacy destroyed by UFC slander
• Atrocious cut from UFC
• Arm almost torn off vs Palhares
• Forgotten (He was really good)

Honorable mentions to Stitch Duram, Mike Goldberg, and the Zuffa Gladiator...



Who you got?

DC. Would be the GOAT if he wasn't in the same generation as that cheating scumbag worthless human being Jon Jones.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

The Natural Born Midlife Crisis.

Shit, I didn't see that. Well, fingers crossed on them just having an open relationship then

 

[CTE_Fan]

i feel bad for jon jones. all he wanted to do is blow some lines and play need for speed in real life but the world wants to keep a man down

 

[gono btw]

BEWARE.

Spoiler

 

[Buff]

went through 4 pages and no mention of Sean Salmon?

Have you seen what has happened to his record... go take a look.

He openly admitted to taking dives ever since Rashad almost killed him.

I think meth is involved.

So you want to be a UFC fighter?

Jason Thacker was given $5,000 to show against Leben. After taxes, he says that was $3,600. After Canadian taxes, it was less still. The licensing fee was, he remembers exactly, $468. Because he was sent to the hospital for precautionary reasons after the TKO loss against Leben, he was also sent a bill. In the end, all it cost to turn him into a shut-in was a couple thousand dollars.

If you need to be told that wanting to become a UFC fighter is a very bad idea, then you should probably aim to become a UFC fighter.

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

Cody McKenzie.

That awkward goof was winning.

I felt sorry for him various times... Not least getting completely played out by Ronda.

His guillotine is the standard now, everyone is bending their wrist back these days...

And he's still only 31 somehow.

Who was it who boasted he wouldn't get caught in the McKenzie-tine, then went out and immediately got caught?

Was it on TUF?
