Fighters you secretly had high hopes for.

I remember I thought Wilson Gouveia was going to make huge splashes in the UFC but was too embarassed to say it. Thank fucks though, as he turned out a disappointment..

Any "dark horses" you guys thought would be good but turned out meh?

 

State side Gomi

 

Barboza

edit: fully read the TS, and realized Barboza didn't make sense. Probably Ricci

 

Kongo is the first who comes to mind. I was certain he was going to be champ. I mean the champ at that time was Tim Sylvia who wasn't exactly looking unbeatable. I didn't really know too much about fighting then as I was relatively new to the sport but from what I could tell, Kongo was a better striker and that didn't leave many options for big Tim in my mind.

Philipe Nover

 

I thought Che Mills was going to be good.

 

Efrain escudero. When he 1st came out and won TUF then 1st round tko'd Cole Miller in his next fight I thought he was gonna be a champ one day( or at least I hoped )he was 12-0 after that. I also liked rooting for him cuz he is Mexican. Then he was gone and has had a sub .500 record ever since

 

Erick Silva

I had such high hopes but he has been nothing but a letdown
One more fight though...

 

Damn. Good one. Me too.

 

Roger Huerta

 

He may still be in with a chance if he gets on a run.

I thought Michael Mcdonald was going to be a pretty good fighter..

then Faber had to retire him

 

Colton Smith. I was hoping he would wrestle his way to the top of the division. And most TUF fighters. I like watching their personalities just as much as the fights.

 

I thought Martin Kampmann was the one to beat GSP. I still think it would've been a good matchup.

 

Evan Dunham, Erick Silva recently.

 

Martin Kampann
